• Purpose: Prevents electrical fires by detecting dangerous "arcing" (sparks) caused by damaged or loose wiring.
• Location: Installed in the main electrical panel; required for most living areas (bedrooms, dens, etc.). Learn More

• Purpose: Protects people from lethal electric shocks by cutting power when it detects a "leak" to ground.
• Location: Anywhere moisture is present—kitchens, bathrooms, garages, basements, and outdoors.

• Purpose: Safeguards expensive appliances and sensitive electronics from power spikes caused by lightning or utility issues.
• Location: Mounted directly to your main electrical panel.

• Purpose: Prevents children from sticking objects like paperclips or keys into the outlet. They feature built-in shutters that only open when a two-prong plug is inserted evenly.
• Location: Required by modern code for all wall outlets in residential units.

• Maintenance: Should be tested monthly and replaced every 10 years.
• The Pro Standard: Interconnected alarms are best—if one sounds in the basement, they all sound throughout the house. Call us to run a test or if you have any questions  

• Purpose: Detects "the silent killer," an odorless, colorless gas produced by fuel-burning appliances (furnaces, stoves, fireplaces).
• Location: Required on every level of the home and near sleeping areas. 

•  Dual-Function Breakers are the modern "all-in-one" solution for home safety. These advanced devices combine GFCI (shock protection) and AFCI (fire prevention) into a single breaker. By installing these, you provide the highest level of protection for your family and property while ensuring your home meets the latest electrical codes . 

• Purpose: Ensures that if a fault occurs, the electricity has a safe path back to the ground rather than through a person or a flammable material.
• Check: Ensure your home has a visible ground rod and that your metal plumbing pipes are properly bonded

• Purpose: Prevents wires from overheating. Using a 15-amp breaker on a wire only rated for 10 amps is a major fire hazard.
• Pro Tip: A professional inspection ensures your breakers are correctly matched to the wire gauge in your walls.  

 Many older homes in the area were built before these safety technologies existed. If your electrical panel is more than 20 years old, or you don't see "Test" buttons on your outlets in the kitchen and bath, it’s time for a safety upgrade.
