Carbon Monoxide Precautions
At Randy’s Electric, we are concerned for the safety of your home and family. With all the tragic events in the news about carbon monoxide and fires, we want to help you to upgrade your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors to the most safe available. The law in Minnesota states that there must be a carbon monoxide detector placed outside of each legal bedroom, within 10 feet. At Randy’s Electric, we want to interconnect them with your smoke detectors, so that if one goes off, they will all sound. This gives your family the time you need to deal with the problem.
If we replace at least two smoke detectors in your home, we will upgrade one of them to a smoke/carbon monoxide detector for FREE! Please ask our Minneapolis electrician about it when he is at your home.
PLEASE NOTE – We have seen quite a few failures of smoke detectors that are almost new! The manufacturers say they are only good for 8 years, and C/O detectors start losing sensing ability I n as little as two years! Have a professional, drug-free background checked licesnsed electrician evaluate you system so you and your family are safe.
Just last winter I received a call at 9 pm ( I always answer the phone) from a client we have done lots for work for. She said “My best friend is here in my kitchen and told me to call you right now!” Okay…Then she said “Her house just burned down!” Here’s what happened. This couple believed in smoke detectors and had battery ones installed everywhere. They were watching TV in the evening and smelled a burning smell. So they started looking around and traced it to the door to the basement. They opened the door and had flames and smoke rush into the room. Then they could hear the smoke detectors! So we went over and interconnected my client’s smoke and CO detectors so when one senses trouble, all the detectors go off. Wherever you are you can hear it. PLEASE-your home and your family depend on hearing the alarms ASAP! We have a few options for doing this in every home. Call us today and get on the schedule! 763.560.5600
