We used Incan Electric to install a new electrical panel at our property in Racine. They were prompt, knowledgeable, and reasonably priced. Although there was a small issue during the installation, they quickly resolved it to our satisfaction.

I recently had Incan Electric install outdoor lighting at my home in Oak Creek. They did a great job and left the work area clean when they were finished. I deducted a star because it took them a bit longer than initially estimated to complete the job.

I called Incan Electric to fix a faulty outlet in my home in West Allis. They came out quickly, but the repair was a bit pricier than I expected. Overall, they got the job done, but I wish the cost had been more reasonable.

Incan Electric did a good job installing a backup generator at our home in Franklin. They were punctual and professional, but there was a slight miscommunication about the final cost. Once we cleared that up, we were happy with their work.

We had Incan Electric upgrade our electrical system in our Caledonia home. They were thorough and professional, but we had a small hiccup with scheduling. In the end, the job was completed successfully, and we're happy with the outcome.

## Importance of Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Detector
They are essential safety devices that can help protect your home and family from the dangers of fire and toxic gas. These devices are designed to detect the presence of smoke or carbon monoxide in the air and sound an alarm to alert you to the danger. They are relatively inexpensive and easy to install, making them a vital part of any home's safety arsenal. Regularly testing and maintaining your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors can help ensure they are always in good working condition and ready to protect you in case of an emergency.


## How does it work?

Smoke detectors work by ionization or photoelectric. Ionization detectors contain a small amount of radioactive material that ionizes the air within the detector, creating a current. When smoke enters the detector, it confuses the current, triggering the alarm. Photoelectric detectors use a light-sensitive sensor to detect smoke. When smoke enters the detector, it scatters the light, causing the sensor to trigger the alarm.

Carbon monoxide detectors use electrochemical sensors to detect the presence of gas in the air. These sensors generate an electrical current when in the presence of carbon monoxide, activating the alarm.

## Common problems of Smoke and Carbon Detectors


### 1. Dead batteries
- Smoke and carbon monoxide detector relies on batteries to power the alarms. If the batteries are dead, the alarms will not sound.

### 2. Dust and debris
- Dust and debris can accumulate on the sensors of smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, reducing their sensitivity and making it more difficult for them to detect smoke or carbon monoxide.

### 3. False alarms
- Smoke and carbon monoxide detectors can trigger false alarms due to cooking smoke or steam from showers.

### 4. Expired detectors
- Smoke and carbon monoxide detectors have a limited lifespan, after which they may no longer function properly. 

### 5. No alarm
- If the alarm doesn't sound when you test it, it could be caused by a malfunctioning unit, poor installation, or no power supply.

## Importance of having Smoke and Carbon Detectors

The purpose is to keep your house safe. You might not be aware of a fire or dangerous gas leak without smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.

Smoke detectors can save lives by giving you and your family time to escape a fire without getting hurt.

Since carbon monoxide is a poisonous gas with no flavor, smell, or color, carbon monoxide detectors are equally essential for safety. If you don't have it, you might not notice it until it's too late.

Symptoms of carbon monoxide include headaches, nausea, and even death. You can use carbon monoxide detectors to detect the gas's presence and take preventative measures to safeguard your family and yourself.
