Safety First With Electrical Contractors in Omaha

by | Oct 10, 2013 | Electronics and Electrical

Electrical Contractors Omaha can help make your home a safer place in some very simple ways. One of those is to install both a smoke alarm and a carbon monoxide or C02 detector that are wired into your electrical system. You can buy the kinds that just use a couple of batteries, but we don’t always remember to change those batteries. However, if you forget, then you have the assurance that the device is constantly powered by your electrical connection. With a wired smoke alarm and carbon monoxide detector, you will still need to change the batteries twice a year just to be sure, just in case the main power is out.

Electrical Contractors Omaha can install one on each floor of the house. Both alarms will be installed right outside the bedroom area. You should also be aware of the signs of carbon monoxide poisoning, because they may be mistaken for other kinds of illness like the flu or food poisoning. Victims may feel sleepy, have a headache, feel dizzy, light-headed, and weak. They may become short of breath and have chest pains or have nausea and vomiting.

Carbon monoxide detectors are a good idea for any home, even ones that don’t have a fireplace. There can be a carbon monoxide leak from any gas appliance in the home such as an oven, a gas furnace, a furnace that is both electric and gas, a charcoal or gas grill, or a car running in the garage. To prevent the build-up of carbon monoxide fumes, have your gas furnace checked every year. Don’t use a gas oven to heat the house, and in the winter, if you have to use a generator, don’t bring it into the house or garage but leave it outside to run.
