In a place like New Orleans—where historic homes and modern remodels sit side by side—it’s easy to forget that behind the walls, safety systems have to keep up with the times. One of the most important upgrades you can make? Properly installed smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. Whether you're living in a shotgun house near Mid-City or a renovated two-story in Metairie, these devices aren’t optional—they’re essential. They don’t just chirp when something’s wrong. When installed right, they save lives.
Modern building codes require smoke detectors in every bedroom and hallway, and carbon monoxide detectors anywhere there’s a gas appliance, fireplace, or attached garage. But it’s not just about checking boxes. A detector is only as good as the wiring behind it. We install hardwired smoke and CO detectors with battery backup, interconnected so that when one sounds, they all go off. That means no second-guessing where the danger is coming from.
Professionally installed smoke and CO detectors are your home's first line of defense, giving you and your family precious seconds to escape in the event of a fire or carbon monoxide leak. When installed by an expert, detectors are placed in optimal locations to maximize early detection — not just where it seems convenient.
Building codes and safety regulations change, and DIY installations often miss critical requirements. Our professional installations ensure your detectors meet local codes, are hardwired when needed, and include battery backups for uninterrupted protection — giving you true peace of mind.
A professional setup can connect your detectors to smart systems, alarms, or even your home security service. This means alerts can sound throughout your home — not just in one room — and even send notifications to your phone, keeping you protected whether you're home or away.
You won’t see your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors doing their job every day—and that’s a good thing. But that quiet presence is exactly why they need to be installed correctly.
Poor placement, dead batteries, or disconnected wiring can turn life-saving equipment into nothing more than a plastic box on the ceiling. When you hire a licensed electrician who knows New Orleans and Metairie homes inside and out, you’re investing in protection that’s actually dependable.
We use UL-listed devices, ensure everything is up to National Electrical Code (NEC) standards, and we don’t leave until every detector is tested and ready.
