Where there is smoke

Electrical Tip of the Day:  Smoke detectors are an important part of any electrical system.  Ideally they should be powered by 120 volts AC, have a battery back up system, and be interlinked.   Smoke detectors should be located withing 4′ of each bedroom door, in or near stairwells, in your mechanical space, in your attic, in your garage, and in your basement / crawl space.  If you have questions about fire safety your local fire department can be consulted at no charge to do a walk thru and help you out.

    Great tip! Being that Hays and Sons sees multitudes of fires in a given year having the proper coverage for smoke detectors is critical for potentially saving a life. Having them hard wired and interlinked is also a must for preventing a true catastrophe. Artisian Electric can and will make certain your smoke detectors are safely wired and functioning to possibly save your life or the life of a loved one.
