Why You Need Carbon Monoxide Detectors?
Carbon monoxide leaks can be one of the most serious household issues you need to repair. Not only can these problems cause threats to your home, but most importantly, they can pose serious health threats to your family. These can have deadly consequences if they are left untreated. To protect your family, install a carbon monoxide detector. Like a smoke detector, these monitors alert your family to a carbon monoxide leak so you can evacuate the property as soon as possible. Early detection of these leaks can save lives!
How To Test Your Carbon Monoxide Detectors?
To ensure your carbon monoxide detector is able to protect your family, it’s important to test it regularly to make sure it works. To properly test these units, follow these tips:
- Test the Batteries: At least once a month, press the “test” button on the device to ensure it triggers an alert. You should perform this test more often during the winter months if you are using gas heat.
- Use a Test Kit: Purchase a kit to test the accuracy of the detector. The kit will include a canister of carbon monoxide so you can expose the device to high levels of gas. If the alarm sounds, then you know the device is working properly.
Every minute counts when there’s a fire. Contact us to schedule smoke detector services with a professional.
