Smoke & Carbon Monoxide Detectors

Smoke and carbon monoxide detectors are a basic line of defense in any home or business, giving early warning of fire or dangerous gas buildup. In Brooklyn, NY, Parka Electric installs and wires these code-required devices as a standard part of every safety inspection, making sure they're properly connected to your home's electrical system rather than relying on battery power alone.

What's Involved

  • Hardwired Connection — Detectors wired directly into household circuits for reliable, consistent power.
  • Placement & Coverage — Units positioned according to code requirements for bedrooms, hallways, and common areas.
  • Panel Compatibility — Checked against your circuit breaker panel to confirm safe, correct wiring.

When to Consider This

  • New Construction or Renovation — Detector wiring added or updated alongside new code-compliant wire and cable.
  • Older Homes — Outdated or missing detectors brought up to current code standards.
  • Routine Safety Inspections — Detector function and placement reviewed as part of a broader electrical safety check.
