What’s included
- Install plug-in and battery-operated CO detectors in bedrooms and hallways
- Mount hardwired or interconnected CO alarm units
- Place detectors at code-recommended heights and locations
- Install combination smoke and CO units as upgrades
- Test every unit after installation

How it works
Determine placement
We identify the code-required and recommended locations — near sleeping areas, on every level and near attached garages.
Mount and connect
We install the detector at the correct height, connect wiring for hardwired units and test the power source.
Test the alarm
We press the test button on every unit and confirm the audible alarm is loud and clear.
Problems we fix
- CO detectors installed too low — CO is similar in weight to air and distributes evenly, so placement matters less than for smoke, but units still need to be unobstructed
- Expired detectors with electrochemical sensors past their 5–7 year service life
- No detector near an attached garage, which is a common source of CO intrusion
- Plug-in detectors in outlets that aren't energized after renovation work
Carbon Monoxide Detector Install in Charleston — FAQ
How long do CO detectors last?
Electrochemical CO sensors typically last 5–7 years regardless of battery life. The detector itself will signal end-of-life and needs to be replaced, not just re-batteried.
Where should CO detectors be placed?
On every level of the home, within 10 feet of every sleeping area and near any attached garage or fuel-burning appliance. We follow current safety guidelines.
Can I combine smoke and CO detection in one unit?
Yes. Combination detectors are convenient and we recommend them when replacing outdated individual units.
Carbon Monoxide Detector Install across Charleston
Charleston's humid subtropical climate, salt air and active storm season are tough on homes — swollen doors, rusting hardware, mildew-prone caulk and storm-loosened trim are all common. Downtown's historic houses add original plaster walls and tight, detailed millwork, while West Ashley and the islands bring newer builds with their own quirks. Our pros are comfortable with both.
