Smoke Detector Installation

Expert installation of hardwired, interconnected smoke detector units for full-home coverage. Ensures proper placement, code compliance, and reliable protection for Des Moines area homes. Starting at $150.

CO Detector Installation

Professional carbon monoxide detector installation to protect your household from this invisible, odorless gas. We ensure correct sensor placement near sleeping areas and fuel-burning appliances for maximum safety.

Hardwired Interconnected Systems

Full-home hardwired alarm systems where every detector communicates with the others. When one sounds, they all sound—ensuring every family member is alerted no matter where they are in the house.

Electrical Safety Evaluation

Complimentary safety evaluation included with every service call. Our Digital Voltage Analyzer detects overloaded circuits and hidden risks, ensuring your home's electrical system can safely support your new detectors.

Arc Fault Breaker Installation

Pair your detector installation with AFCI breaker upgrades for comprehensive fire prevention. Arc fault breakers detect dangerous wiring conditions that standard breakers miss—especially important in older Des Moines homes.

Panel Safety Check

Before or after detector installation, our technicians inspect your electrical panel to confirm it meets current safety standards and can safely support hardwired alarm systems throughout your home.
