The United States requires every structure to have a smoke detector to warn against fires and prevent dangerous smoke inhalation. The National Fire Protection Association states homes lacking smoke alarms contribute to around 40% of fire-related deaths. However, a smoke detector doesn’t read indoor carbon monoxide (CO) levels.
Over 21,000 Americans die because of CO poisoning, and thousands of others must rush to the hospital for immediate treatment. Prevent yourself from becoming a statistic with a carbon monoxide and smoke detector installation Port Washington, WI. Trust five-star Professional Services for 24/7 installations and other
air filtration solutions.
Usually, fires begin from faulty wiring in an electrical system or open flames, such as from a cigarette butt or gas stovetop. When the spark or controlled flame comes in contact with draperies, carpets, or other fabric-like surfaces, the fire spreads uncontrollably, enveloping lives and homes.
The thick smoky air has a white appearance that floats to the ceiling. However, carbon monoxide proves more dangerous since the colorless and odorless substance’s only signs come from human symptoms. Alongside feelings of light-headedness and nausea, many who come in contact with the gas claim:
Unfortunately, carbon monoxide primarily originates from appliances we rely on to make our lives easier. Appliances that include fuel burning, some of which we list below, undergo incomplete combustion, spiking carbon monoxide levels.
It’s not uncommon for these appliances to release minor levels of carbon monoxide. However, a carbon monoxide and smoke detector installation in Port Washington, WI, alerts you to unusual amounts that would otherwise lead to fatalities within minutes. Even houses with carbon monoxide detectors may be at risk if the device’s batteries die or they’re in the wrong household position.
Because carbon monoxide is slightly lighter than air, it neither rises nor falls but disperses evenly around the room. Therefore, you don’t have to place the device too high or low on your walls.
Professional Services advises installing it at about knee height but slightly higher at chest height if you have children that may tamper with the device.
For a two-in-one smoke and carbon monoxide device, it’s best to install it on the ceiling since carbon monoxide spreads uniformly across each room, but smoke rises. Since smoke weighs less than air and carbon monoxide, it’ll sit below your ceiling. Hence, if you install a smoke detector or a two-in-one device midway up your wall, it’ll be too low to alert you to smoke in your home, rendering it ineffective.
Each level of your home, from the basement to the top floor, should have installations. Not only because smoke and carbon monoxide can come from any corner of your home, but they’ll also bring dangerous gas levels to your attention no matter where you are. Also, keep in mind the following when undergoing a carbon monoxide and smoke detector installation in Port Washington, WI:
