Where there's smoke, there's fire. Sure, people usually say that as a metaphor – but we're talking literally here. Every second counts when a fire breaks out in your home, and the difference between safely escaping and facing tragedy often comes down to one thing: working smoke detectors that give you an early heads-up.
A smoke detector installation is non-negotiable in any living or work space. They're not optional extras or nice-to-have conveniences. In fact, building codes and regulations in Portsmouth and across the country require these devices in multiple areas of homes and businesses.
But smoke detectors aren't "set-it-and-forget-it" devices. They demand regular maintenance, the occasional repair, and eventually, complete replacement. If you’re looking for a certified electrician to service your detector(s), then contact Mr. Electric to hire a local pro.
Smoke detectors employ sensitive sensors to continuously monitor the air for signs of smoke. Over time, those sensors degrade and become less reliable. Moreover, accumulated dust inside the unit affects the detector’s capability. Batteries wear out, electrical connections can become loose or corroded, and so on.
These are just some of the reasons why the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) recommends testing smoke detectors monthly and a smoke detector replacement every 10 years. An old smoke detector might look fine on the outside, but it could be too weak to detect smoke quickly enough to save your life.

Sometimes smoke detectors need more than fresh batteries or a cleaning. If your detector keeps going off for no reason, for instance, it might be positioned too close to where steam and cooking fumes trigger false alarms. Have an electrician relocate it to a better spot that follows building code requirements.
Of course, it’s time to call for a smoke detector repair if the unit is not beeping at all, too. Loose connections cause intermittent failures, and outdated wiring might not provide stable power. An electrician can make sure the underlying electrical system supports your lifesaving devices.
If you have interconnected devices and the test button doesn’t activate them all in synchrony, then what’s the point of interconnection? Call Mr. Electric for a smoke detector repair in Portsmouth to restore that critical safety feature.
A smoke detector installation in Portsmouth isn’t going to break the bank, but everyone prefers a quick repair over a replacement. Many times, all you need is a repair. Other times, a replacement makes more sense.

Not all threats come with warning. Carbon monoxide, for instance, is a deadly gas that is colorless and odorless. This gas comes from furnaces, water heaters, fireplaces, and other fuel-burning appliances, and it claims hundreds of lives a year.
So, how do you know it’s there? With a carbon monoxide detector installation of course. Like smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors should be installed by certified and licensed professionals. The pros at Mr. Electric are happy to help.
Breon and P.J. we're very courteous and professional. Breon did point out an issue with my plan and what needed to be done to do the job to code. I understood and we quickly agreed on the new plan and additional costs. The job was done correctly and looks amazing. Highly recommend!!!
We called Mr. Electric one day blindly because of the big electrical short in the house. They sent us the technician, Ethan, the next day. What a nice and honest young man! I highly recommend this place to anybody looking for an electrician, especially if you’re cold calling. And make sure you ask for Ethan! What a fine young man!
Mr. Electric was prompt and professional from my initial call through service completion. Breon was the on-site electrician. He completed a property wide electrical inspection upon arrival and discussed results, potential fixes and associated costs. He installed a GFCI breaker and repaired outlet issues quickly and professionally while being very respectful of our home. Well done.
I was selling my home and only had a few days to complete the work. Thankfully Mr. Electric had some availability and got me scheduled quickly. Before the tech arrived, the company sent a nice bio and photo of the person who would be showing up. He arrived right on time and was kind enough to wear shoe covers (a lot of people don’t do this and it drives me crazy). Breon was such a pleasure to have in my home. He was kind, patient, and very knowledgable. We had a bit of hiccup and he was a bit stressed, but it turned out to be an easy fix and once everything was complete, he did a great job of cleaning up after himself. I would recommend this company, and specifically Breon, to anyone who needs electrical work done correctly, safely, and responsibly priced.
