Every Calgary homeowner wants their family and home to be safe, but dangers like smoke and carbon monoxide can strike silently. Smoke and carbon monoxide alarms are your first line of defense, alerting you to fire or toxic gas before it’s too late. At GP Electric, we specialize in keeping Calgary homes protected with expert alarm solutions tailored to your needs.


Smoke alarms catch fires early, giving you time to evacuate, while carbon monoxide alarms detect this deadly, odorless gas that can leak from furnaces or fireplaces—common risks during Calgary’s harsh winters. Placement matters: alarms need to be strategically positioned near sleeping areas, living spaces, and basements. Our skilled technicians at GP Electric ensure your alarms are installed where they’ll work best, following local safety codes to keep you compliant and secure.


We don’t just install—we guide you. With options like ionization alarms for quick fires or photoelectric ones for smoldering threats, plus hardwired or battery-powered carbon monoxide detectors, choosing can feel overwhelming. GP Electric simplifies it, assessing your home’s layout and recommending the right fit. Our team brings years of experience across Calgary neighborhoods, from Mount Royal to Tuscany, ensuring your system matches your lifestyle.


Beyond installation, maintenance is key. Alarms can fail if not tested or if batteries die—especially in Calgary’s cold snaps. GP Electric offers full-service support, from routine checks to swift repairs, so your alarms stay reliable year-round. We take pride in catching issues before they become problems, giving you one less thing to worry about.


Why go professional? Peace of mind. A poorly placed or faulty alarm could cost you more than money—it could cost lives. With GP Electric, you get precision, expertise, and a commitment to your safety. We’re not here to sell you a product; we’re here to protect your home with solutions built for Calgary’s unique challenges.


Ready to enhance your home’s safety? GP Electric is your local expert for smoke and carbon monoxide alarm services in Calgary. Reach out today—let us help you choose, install, and maintain the perfect system for your home.

Frequently Asked Questions About Smoke & Carbon Monoxide Alarms

  • Why do I need both smoke and carbon monoxide alarms?

    Smoke alarms detect fires by sensing smoke, while carbon monoxide (CO) alarms warn you about a silent, deadly gas produced by malfunctioning appliances like heaters or stoves. Having both ensures your home is protected from two distinct dangers—fire and CO poisoning—which are critical for your family’s safety.

  • How often should I replace my smoke and CO alarms?

    GO Electric offers highly competitive pricing, ensuring that you receive top-quality electrical services at affordable rates.






  • Where should I place smoke and CO alarms in my home?

    Install smoke alarms inside every bedroom, just outside sleeping areas, and on every level of your home, including the basement. For CO alarms, place them near bedrooms and in living areas, but avoid kitchens, bathrooms, or garages where false triggers are common. Always check the manufacturer’s instructions for precise placement.

  • What’s the difference between ionization and photoelectric smoke alarms?

    Ionization smoke alarms are best at detecting fast, flaming fires (like from paper or grease), while photoelectric alarms excel at sensing slow, smoldering fires (like from upholstery). For the best coverage, consider dual-sensor alarms that combine both technologies.
