Hardwired • Interconnected • Combination Smoke + CO • Code-Compliant
The call came in on a Tuesday afternoon. A landlord with three rental units in Lyons, IL had just been told by his insurer that without documented, code-compliant smoke detection in each unit, the next renewal would be denied.
That documentation is what saved the policy. The detectors might save lives later. Both outcomes mattered.
New construction and existing home retrofits. Interconnected with battery backup, code-compliant placement.

"They came out, found that six of the eight existing units were past their replacement date, and replaced them all in one afternoon. The documentation they left actually came in handy six months later."
"They redid the whole house, added a CO detector near the garage... Calm, professional people."
"They returned at no charge, found that the unit itself was failing, replaced it. I appreciated that they didn't just argue with me — they came back and finished the job."
Every 10 years, regardless of how they appear or sound. The chemical sensors degrade silently.
Ionisation detects fast, flaming fires. Photoelectric detects slow, smouldering fires. We default to dual-sensor units.
If you have an attached garage, yes. Cars idling in attached garages produce CO that migrates into homes.
Battery-only units, yes. Hardwired units require a licensed electrician for code compliance and insurance.
When one detector senses smoke, every detector in your home alarms simultaneously.
If your detectors are over a decade old, or you don't know how old they are, the uncertainty itself is the issue worth addressing. Reach Electric Service Professionals for a straight assessment.
