Co2 and Smoke Detectors

​Smoke and carbon monoxide detectors are essential safety devices that protect your home and family from fire and toxic gas exposure. Fires and smoke can spread quickly, and carbon monoxide (CO) is a silent, odorless killer, making proper detection critical. At Instant Electric, we provide smoke detector installation, carbon monoxide alarm wiring, and replacement services to ensure your home remains safe and compliant with Florida’s fire code regulations.

Smoke Detector Installation & Replacement

​

Modern smoke detectors are often hardwired into your home’s electrical system, providing a constant power source and battery backup for reliability. If your home lacks proper smoke detector wiring or your detectors are outdated, Instant Electric can help by:

​

• Installing new hardwired smoke alarms to meet safety regulations.

• Replacing expired or malfunctioning smoke detectors.

• Upgrading to interconnected smoke alarm systems for enhanced protection.

• Ensuring optimal smoke detector placement for maximum coverage.

• ​

Florida law mandates that all homes, apartments, hotels, and dormitories have functional smoke detectors. Our licensed electricians ensure your system is properly installed and code-compliant.

​

Smoke Detector Placement Requirements

​

To maximize safety, Florida fire codes and local Tampa regulations recommend installing smoke alarms in the following locations:

​

• Every level of your home (including attics and basements).

• Inside every bedroom to alert sleeping occupants.

• Hallways and common areas outside sleeping rooms.

• Near kitchens but not too close to cooking appliances to prevent false alarms.

 

Regardless of your home’s size, experts recommend a minimum of two smoke alarms for basic protection. For new constructions, smoke detectors must be UL-listed, hardwired, and equipped with a battery backup.

​

What is Carbon Monoxide & Why is Detection Important?

​

Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless gas known as the “silent killer.” Unlike carbon dioxide, CO is toxic when inhaled in high concentrations. Carbon monoxide poisoning can result from incomplete combustion of fuels, commonly found in:

​

• Gas furnaces & water heaters

• Fireplaces & wood stoves

• Gas stoves & ovens

• Generators & vehicle exhaust

• Kerosene space heaters

 

Although small amounts of CO are produced during normal fuel-burning processes, poor ventilation or malfunctioning appliances can lead to dangerous exposure. Installing carbon monoxide detectors ensures early detection and prevents life-threatening conditions.
