Smoke Detectors and Carbon Monoxide Detectors

Smoke and carbon monoxide detectors are important tools for protecting what you value most. While these tools are able to alert you to potential danger, malfunctioning devices can escape the attention of homeowners, which is why we recommend regular inspections by Trust Certified® technicians. 

Things you should know about each of these types of devices include:

• Smoke Detectors 
  While smoke is a visible hazard, detectors offer an additional layer of safety by alerting you to smoke in other areas of the home and by waking you should fire hazards emerge during the night. 
  
  
• Carbon Monoxide Detectors 
  Carbon monoxide can be even more dangerous because its presence is less visible. The odorless, tasteless, invisible gas is a leading cause of accidental poisoning. Symptoms often go unnoticed and can include headache, chest pain, nausea and vomiting, weakness and fatigue, as well as dizziness and confusion.
  
  Without the proper instruments installed, carbon monoxide cannot be detected, making detectors vital for households that have gas appliances.
