Protect Your Family with Working Smoke and CO Detectors

Carbon monoxide may be silent, but we won’t be when your safety is at risk! Whether you’re in Grand Ledge, Portland, Lansing, or another nearby city, we'll ensure your detector is properly installed and functioning as it should.

These detectors should be installed on every level of your home, but away from drafty windows, humid bathrooms, or heating appliances. Moisture, wind, and heat can interfere and cause inaccurate readings.
Finding the perfect place to install each smoke detector can be overwhelming, and not an area that has a lot of room for error. Aire Serv of Mid Michigan’s expert service professionals are more than qualified to install new models and replace old ones - your home’s safety is in capable hands.

When it comes to smoke detector batteries, Grand Ledge residents and those in the rest of Eaton County should form a habit of replacing them at least once a year and checking them monthly. Once you hear the “beep,” you’re good to go.
Furnace maintenance is a big part of practicing Grand Ledge carbon monoxide safety. We may need them to survive those cold January nights, but part of being a homeowner is adhering to proper HVAC maintenance and safety practices.

Furnaces are among the most common sources of residential carbon monoxide leaks, so addressing small problems before they become larger, potentially life-threatening issues, is essential for proper CO safety and furnace maintenance.

Could Your Furnace Be Producing Carbon Monoxide?

It's easy to focus on staying warm during winter, but the safest furnace is one that's professionally maintained and paired with functioning smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.

In Grand Ledge, carbon monoxide safety is no joke, especially when we rely so heavily on furnaces and other fuel-burning systems in the winter. If not maintained properly, furnaces can leak carbon monoxide through:

Cracked heat exchangers
Clogged exhaust vents
Faulty burners
Blocked air filters
