Carbon Monoxide Detector Installation in Cresskill, NJ

Why CO Detectors Matter in Cresskill Homes

Carbon monoxide is a silent threat. You cannot see it, smell it, or taste it, yet exposure can become life threatening within minutes.

The Hidden Risk

• No odor or taste
• Symptoms include headaches, fatigue, dizziness, and nausea
• High levels can lead to unconsciousness

Common Sources in Homes

• Furnaces and boilers
• Gas stoves and ovens
• Fireplaces and wood stoves
• Water heaters
• Vehicles in attached garages
• Generators and space heaters

Even an all-electric home may need protection, especially if it has an attached garage or if gas appliances may be added later.

How Detectors Keep You Safe

A carbon monoxide detector will:

• Monitor CO levels continuously
• Sound an alarm before conditions become dangerous
• Give you time to exit and call for help

When To Replace CO Detectors

Most carbon monoxide detectors last between five and seven years. Older units become unreliable and may fail without warning. Our electricians can replace CO detectors, test existing alarms, and upgrade your home to current standards.

You should replace a CO detector if:

• The alarm is five to seven years old
• It chirps even after new batteries
• The test button stops responding
• The unit is yellowed or damaged
• You are renovating or adding new gas appliances

If you are unsure how often to replace CO detectors, we can check the date code and recommend the correct replacement schedule.
