Our Residential Experts Will Keep You Safe

Many homes built before 1970 often need to have additional circuits installed for new appliances. Those homes may have knob and tube wiring systems. Knob and tube wiring systems have rubber and cloth covered wires which deteriorate and become brittle with age resulting in a fire and safety hazard. To help safeguard your electronic devices from electrical surges, E & S Electric, Inc. recommends installing a whole house surge suppressor unit.

The Importance of Smoke Detectors

Smoke alarms save lives. Smoke alarms that are properly installed and maintained play a vital role in reducing fire deaths and injuries. With smoke spreading quickly, it's critical to have functioning detectors that give you time to escape. Contact E&S Electric to install or replace your smoke detectors today!

Facts and figures about smoke alarms:



• In 2014-2018, smoke alarms sounded in more than half (54%) of the home fires reported to U.S. fire departments.
• Almost three of every five home fire deaths resulted from fires in homes with no smoke alarms (41%) or no working smoke alarms (16%).
• The death rate per 1,000 reported home fires was more than twice as high in homes that did not have any working smoke alarms compared to the rate in homes with working smoke alarms (13.0 deaths vs. 5.8 deaths per 1,000 fires).
• In fires in which the smoke alarms were present but did not operate, two of every five (41%) of the smoke alarms had missing or disconnected batteries.
• Dead batteries caused one-quarter (26%) of the smoke alarm failures.
