Across the U.S., smoke and carbon monoxide lead to countless preventable injuries and deaths annually. The danger lies in how invisible they are—smoke spreads quickly while carbon monoxide is odorless and undetectable without the right alarms. Relying on outdated or poorly placed detectors can leave your family vulnerable when seconds matter most.
In San Francisco, older homes and apartments often lack properly installed or interconnected detectors. Some properties still depend on battery-operated units that are easy to forget and fail without warning. A professionally installed system provides dependable, 24/7 monitoring, ensuring your household is alerted at the first sign of danger.
Our detectors meet the latest California regulations for fire and CO protection. Whether you need hardwired smoke detectors, interconnected carbon monoxide alarms, or a combination system, we’ll design a setup tailored to your property.
Investing in professional installation means more than compliance—it means peace of mind. You’ll know your detectors are positioned correctly, tested thoroughly, and ready to protect the people who matter most.
