One of the most important things you can do to keep your family safe at home is to install smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. However, many homeowners are surprised to find that today’s most accurate and reliable detectors rely on electrical wiring rather than batteries. Instead of trying to install these devices yourself, call Riverview Electric for master electrical contractor services in Hudson Valley and the surrounding counties. 

Smoke and carbon monoxide detectors are important life-saving devices that need to be installed in every home. The transition from battery-powered detectors to hardwired ones makes these devices safer and more reliable because you don’t have to worry about dead or dislodged batteries, but installing them isn’t easy.

Calling a professional electrical contractor ensures that the job will be done right the first time, saving you time, money, and stress. First and foremost, a contractor will make sure your new detectors and the necessary electrical wiring meet current building safety codes. Having wiring that is up to code makes your home, appliances, and devices safer overall.

A professional electrical contractor will also be able to advise you on the most appropriate number and placement of smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in your home. Placing these detectors close to a hot kitchen or steamy bathroom can lead to unwanted false alarms. Working with a professional contractor allows you to design an interconnected system that activates all the alarms in the house when one detects smoke or carbon monoxide. An interconnected system can be especially valuable in a large house or one with bedrooms on different floors.
