Smoke Detectors and Carbon Monoxide (CO) Detectors
If a smoke or CO detector goes off, get everyone outside quickly and call the fire department. Do not go inside until the authorities have given you the all clear.
Smoke and CO detectors should be tested every month. Change the batteries annually to make sure they keep working properly. Replace CO detectors with new ones every five to seven years. Replace smoke detectors every 10 years.
Abacus’s comprehensive electrical inspections include assessing wiring for all smoke and CO detectors in the house.
