What to Know About Smoke & Carbon Monoxide Detectors

Protecting your home and family from the hidden dangers of fire and carbon monoxide (CO) is more important than ever. These threats often go unnoticed until it's too late, making prevention a critical part of every household’s safety plan. Fire can start in seconds—whether from faulty wiring, unattended candles, or kitchen mishaps. According to SGI Canada, over 24,000 house fires occur each year in Canada, leading to hundreds of deaths and injuries. Similarly, CO, known as the "silent killer" because it has no smell or color, causes more than 300 deaths annually in Canada alone. It comes from gas appliances, fireplaces, and even vehicles running in garages. While changing batteries in detectors is essential, it's just the first step. Here are some long-term solutions to keep your home safe: - **Hard-wired smoke and CO detectors**: These provide continuous protection and are less likely to fail due to dead batteries. They’re ideal for homes where reliability matters most. - **Regular appliance inspections**: Have a professional check your heating systems, stoves, and water heaters to identify potential issues before they become dangerous. - **Strategic detector placement**: Install CO detectors on every level of your home, especially near sleeping areas and around fuel-burning appliances. - **Family education**: Teach your loved ones how to respond during an emergency. Practice evacuation plans and make sure everyone knows what to do when alarms sound. - **Ongoing maintenance**: Keep vents clear, clean chimneys regularly, and ensure all gas lines are in good condition to prevent buildup and leaks. - **Fire damage restoration planning**: In case of an emergency, having a trusted restoration company ready can save you time and stress.
