Benefits of Smoke Detectors

Read More
Read Less

Thousands of people sustain serious injuries or death because of fires, and installing smoke detectors reduces the risk of injuries during a fire. Smoke detectors should be installed on every level of the home, including in the kitchen, bedrooms, basement, and patio.

Benefits of smoke detectors include:

  • Help everyone evacuate safely
  • Decrease risk of fire damage
  • 24/7 protection
  • Smart detectors can send out alerts

Smoke alarms work around the clock to detect gases, smoke, and rapid increase in temperature, and once the sensor is triggered, a loud horn will sound to alert everyone in the home. Smart smoke detectors can send alerts to the fire department and emergency contacts through their app immediately after the sensor is triggered.

There are two types of smoke detectors commonly used in homes, including an ionization alarm that ionizes the air between two electrically charged plates and activates the alarm with smoke that disrupts the flow of ions. Photoelectric alarms use a light source and sensor that triggers when smoke reflects the light onto the sensor. We can install each type of alarm and combination alarms that use both technologies for the best protection. Laughlin Electric wants to keep our community safe with the best smoke and CO detectors installation in Santa Barbara, CA.

Why Use CO Detectors

CO stands for carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless gas that can cause severe illness and death at high levels. CO may enter your home through improperly installed, poorly maintained, or unauthorized use of fuel-burning appliances, including fireplaces, stoves, or idling cars in garages. As a general rule, there should be one carbon monoxide alarm on each floor and more alarms in areas like a kitchen or garage where appliances could be leaking.

Carbon monoxide is lighter than air and will sink to the ground when released. We will install your detector about five feet above the floor on a wall, but not right next to a fireplace or appliance.

CO detectors can save lives, and it’s vital to notice the symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning, including:

  • Dull headache
  • Dizziness
  • Nausea & vomiting
  • Confusion
  • Blurred vision
  • Shortness of breath

These symptoms are likely to appear earlier in children, the elderly, and those who are already ill. Elderly members in your home are more susceptible to long-term effects caused by this emergency. You can prevent poisoning by using CO detectors, opening the garage before starting your car, using gas appliances as recommended, and keeping appliances and engines properly vented.

Don’t be at risk for emergencies without a smoke and CO detector in Santa Barbara, CA that gives you and your family more time to evacuate. Laughlin Electric has electrical solutions that lower the risk of severe injury or death during times of need.

    Everyone at Laughlin Electric went above and beyond the call of duty. I had an emergency electrical situation and they were there immediately and stayed until absolutely everything was completed., even an expedited permit from the city. I would highly recommend them to anyone.

    We recently had Bob’s team install some LED lights at my office. There must have been over 40 lights that required an update. Team Laughlin did an amazing job with the install. The whole office was happy with the work. Thank you!

    If you are like me, you place a very high value on great service. Like me, you might also feel customer service levels from all types of businesses have plummeted since the pandemic. Not so with Laughlin Electric who from first contact to job completion exhibited the highest levels of service, communication, expertise and professionalism. Dan and Cody came to my house to take on a few projects, including hanging my flat screen on the wall. This included disappearing all related wiring. I had no idea how this could be done, but the highly skilled duo quickly conceived of a plan and got to work. Nearing completion, a vexing internet connectivity problem arose. It seemed insurmountable, and I thought the fiber company would have to come the next day to repair. But with resourcefulness, resolve and genius troubling shooting the team got everything to work perfectly. The entire experience reassured me that there are still great companies with great employees who really take care of their customers. I couldn't be happier.

    Gabby customer service girl was fanstic on the phone and was able to get a electrican within less than two hours. Lucas was able to localize the issue. He also consulted with the Bob the owner who also assisted to identify a major electrical problem and remained to provide additional contacts since the problem appeared to be generated from the source. I will be contacting PGE within a day to arrange repairs.

    I recently had Laughlin work on my new house. Well, new to me… it’s a hundred years old. Cody and Dan spent a week replacing knob-and-tube wiring, modernizing all the outlets, replacing and adding light fixtures, expanding the breaker box, and making sure the system is safe and up to date. Cody even managed to get the original doorbell functioning. A great job and great guys, and I’m really happy with how well it went. Thanks!

    Cody did a great, very efficient job installing a Bidet. He was able to advise me on pros and cons of various light fixtures. So glad I have someone I can trust to go to in the future.

    Easy to work with and prompt. I reached out about installing an EV outlet/charger on a Tuesday and was fully installed by Friday morning. Cody helped us find the right option to meet our needs and after talking it through got straight to work on the install. Felt like we were in good hands to get the job done correctly!

    Cody came to house to perform maintenance on our Cummings backup generator. Very polite and after brief site inspection submitted bid. Fair price was accepted and he did work same day. All went well and would highly recommend his company LAUGLIN ELECTRIC to anyone!
