Smoke & Carbon Monoxide Detector Installation in Cincinnati & Northern Kentucky

At Apollo Home, we want to keep families safe from unforeseen and sometimes invisible dangers. We help homeowners in the Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky communities by installing smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors.

Smoke Detectors

Smoke detectors are essential fire safety equipment. According to the Cincinnati Fire Department, smoke detectors should be placed in every bedroom, outside each sleeping area, every 30 feet, and on every level of the home. If you need help determining if all the areas of your house are properly covered, be sure to call us.

It’s important to replace devices that are over ten years old. We can install or replace any model of photoelectric or ionization smoke detectors. Photoelectric detectors are more sensitive to flaming fires, while ionization detectors are best at detecting smoldering fires. For the best protection, use both types of alarms.

Make sure to check your batteries! A good tradition is to swap in new batteries during the time change each year. If your power goes out, but smoke is present, batteries will help save lives!

Carbon Monoxide Detectors

Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless, and poisonous gas. Carbon monoxide poisoning is the leading cause of poisoning in the United States. Exposure causes confusion, flu-like symptoms, potential brain damage, and in serious cases, death. Carbon monoxide is heavier than air, so it stays low. Because they are closer to the floor, pets and small children exhibit symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning first. Luckily, there are ways to prevent and detect carbon monoxide leaks.

The Cincinnati fire department highly recommends carbon monoxide alarms be installed in a central location outside each sleeping area and on every level of the home. We can link all of your carbon monoxide alarms together so that when one sounds, they all sound at the same time. Be sure to give us a call to let us install carbon monoxide detectors throughout your home in Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky.

Test your carbon monoxide detectors once a month. If your alarm sounds, move to a fresh air location before calling emergency services.
