There are so many dangers in our world it is hard to actually prevent them all. We do what we can to keep our families safe. Wearing seatbelts in the car, looking both ways before crossing a street and keeping working smoke detectors in the house can go a long way to preventing a tragedy. These are little things that cost nothing, but are so important. They are extremely valuable. Your Los Angeles electrician would like to help you take the safety of your home one step further with the addition of hard-wired smoke detectors and GFCI outlets. The crew at The Electric Connection can provide you with a professional tech who will get the job done quickly and neatly.

Hard-wired smoke detectors are nice to have because they are wired directly into your home’s electricity. You are not completely dependent on a battery that may have went dead the day before or is too weak to sound the alarm when smoke from a fire is detected. Your electrician in Los Angeles recommends having one on at least every floor. If your home has an attached garage, it is a good idea to have one in there as well. All of the alarms will go off if any one of the detectors picks up smoke. This can go a long way to giving your family the time to get out.

Another safety feature every home should have are the GFCI outlets in the bathroom and kitchen areas. These can quickly be installed in place of the old, standard outlets by an electrician. Los Angeles homeowners will appreciate the fact the outlets automatically trip the second there is any interruption in the circuit that often occurs when water is introduced. This can prevent accidental electrocution. Give The Electric Connection a call today and schedule your safety upgrades.
