Smoke & CO Detectors

When it comes to protecting your home and family, there’s no room for compromise. Smoke and carbon monoxide (CO) detectors are critical to your home’s safety plan, providing early warnings of potential hazards. At Air Tech of Katy, we offer professional installation and maintenance services to ensure your detectors are equipped with the latest technology and properly positioned to keep your loved ones safe.

The Importance of Smoke & CO Detectors
Smoke and carbon monoxide detectors are your first line of defense against two major home safety threats: fire and carbon monoxide poisoning. These devices are designed to detect smoke or CO early, giving you valuable time to act.

• Smoke Detectors: These devices alert you to smoke, often the first indicator of a fire. Early detection is essential for safely evacuating and reducing damage. Modern smoke detectors are highly sensitive and can detect even minimal amounts of smoke.
• Carbon Monoxide Detectors: CO is a dangerous, colorless, and odorless gas that can be deadly at high concentrations. It can accumulate due to malfunctioning appliances like furnaces or stoves. CO detectors provide the necessary warning to prevent poisoning.

Types of Smoke & CO Detectors
Air Tech of Katy offers a range of advanced detectors to suit your needs:

• Ionization Smoke Detectors: Ideal for detecting fast-flaming fires with smaller smoke particles.
• Photoelectric Smoke Detectors: Best for smoldering fires that produce larger smoke particles.
• Dual-Sensor Smoke Detectors: Combines ionization and photoelectric technologies for maximum coverage.
• Combination Smoke and CO Detectors: Simplifies your safety system with devices that detect both smoke and carbon monoxide.
• Smart Detectors: These Wi-Fi-enabled devices provide remote alerts, battery status updates, and advanced monitoring via your smartphone.

Where to Install Smoke & CO Detectors
Proper placement ensures your detectors provide optimal protection:

• Smoke Detectors: Install in every bedroom, outside sleeping areas, and on every home level. Place them high on walls or ceilings, avoiding drafty areas like windows or ducts.
• CO Detectors: Install on every level of your home, particularly near bedrooms and potential CO sources like the furnace room, garage, or kitchen. Mount them at eye level or higher for effective detection.

Maintenance and Testing
Regular maintenance keeps your detectors functioning properly:

• Test Monthly: Press the test button to ensure the alarm works.
• Replace Batteries Annually: Replace when the device indicates low battery or during daylight saving time changes.
• Replace Devices as Needed: Smoke detectors should be replaced every 10 years, and CO detectors every 5–7 years, depending on the manufacturer’s recommendations.
