Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colorless, odorless, and deadly gas often produced by furnaces, water heaters, and gas appliances. Protecting your family requires properly placed and functional CO alarms. Our licensed electricians ensure your home meets the latest Utah safety codes by installing high-quality, reliable CO detectors, including interconnected and smart home systems.

Professional Carbon Monoxide Detector Installation Service

Whether you are upgrading your home safety, complying with new construction codes, or replacing expired units, our team handles all aspects of CO detector installation near me.

Code-Compliant Placement: The Utah State Residential Code requires CO alarms to be installed on each level of the dwelling and immediately outside of each separate sleeping area (in the vicinity of the bedrooms). We ensure your detectors are placed correctly to meet these critical safety standards.

Hardwired CO Detector Installation: We specialize in installing hardwired carbon monoxide detectors with battery backup. These interconnected systems provide superior safety—if one alarm detects CO, all alarms in the house sound simultaneously, ensuring the fastest possible warning.

Smart CO Alarm Integration: Upgrade your safety with the latest technology. We install smart carbon monoxide alarms that connect to your home Wi-Fi, sending instant alerts to your smartphone, even when you are away from home.

Why Professional Installation is Essential: CO detectors must be installed according to strict guidelines and manufacturer specifications to function correctly. Our licensed technicians guarantee proper wiring, optimal placement, and full system integration.

Carbon Monoxide Detector Replacement & System Upgrades

All CO detectors, including hardwired units, have a lifespan—typically 10 years—after which the sensor can become unreliable. Regular carbon monoxide detector replacement is critical for maintaining home safety.

CO Detector Lifespan Check: We inspect your existing alarms for expiration dates. If your unit is 10 years or older, it should be replaced immediately. We offer a fast, cost-effective replacement service for single units or whole-home systems.

Smoke and CO Combo Detector Service: We install combination smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, giving you protection from two major home hazards in one unit. We advise on proper placement (which can differ for smoke vs. CO detection) to maximize the effectiveness of dual alarms.

Repair and Testing: If your CO detector is chirping, malfunctioning, or displaying an error, we can diagnose the issue, replace the batteries or faulty components, and thoroughly test the unit to ensure it's providing reliable protection.

Understanding the Dangers of Carbon Monoxide in Utah Homes

Carbon monoxide poisoning is a serious risk, particularly in homes utilizing fuel-burning appliances for heating.

Sources of CO in Your Home:

  • Furnaces and boilers (especially high-efficiency models with blocked vents).
  • Gas water heaters.
  • Gas fireplaces and stoves.
  • Blocked furnace or appliance flues/chimneys.
  • Attached garages where vehicle exhaust can leak into the home.

Symptoms of CO Exposure: CO poisoning symptoms are often mistaken for the flu, including headaches, dizziness, nausea, and shortness of breath. Since CO is invisible and odorless, a working alarm is your only defense.

Preventative HVAC & Plumbing Measures: We offer related services that help prevent CO leaks:

  • Annual furnace and boiler maintenance to ensure safe operation.
  • Checking the condition of water heater and furnace flues for blockages or leaks.
  • Gas line repair and inspection for appliance safety.
