Smoke and Carbon Detection

How Do Smoke and Carbon Detectors Work?
Keep your home safe with smoke and carbon monoxide detectors! While similar in function, these devices come at a range of price points to meet any budget. At the entry-level they only detect one element while high-end versions can sense both – setting off an alarm when either is present. When activated by CO or smoke particles, their chemical reaction creates an electric current to alert you and keep danger away from your door step.
What Is Carbon Monoxide?
Known as the silent killer.
Carbon monoxide poisoning is a potentially deadly condition that can occur when your body replaces the oxygen in your red blood cells with carbon monoxide found in gasoline, wood, charcoal and other fuel sources. If not ventilated properly within a sealed space, this noxious gas could build up to dangerous levels leading to serious tissue damage or even death.
Be aware of its dangers and if you suspect any symptoms – get into fresh air immediately and seek emergency medical attention!
Should I have hardwired or battery powered detectors?
All smoke detectors purchased in New York State must not only be powered either electrically or by battery, but also boast a minimum 10-year life span and come sealed within the unit itself. To ensure proper approval from testing laboratories like Underwriters Laboratories (UL) or Factory Mutual (FM).
Hardwired detectors have the benefit of using both a battery for when the power is out and a hard wire to ensure less battery changes and a detector that is always operating.
