Options & equipment
We integrate monitored smoke, heat, and CO detectors into new or existing alarm panels, and can also add standalone monitored units in homes that don't want a full burglar alarm system — some customers choose life-safety monitoring only.
Local considerations in Sterling Heights & Macomb County
Michigan's cold winters mean most Sterling Heights homes run gas furnaces and water heaters for 5–6 months a year, which is precisely when carbon monoxide risk rises — a cracked heat exchanger or blocked flue during heavy snow can allow CO buildup with no smell or visible warning. Monitored CO detection catches this whether you're home, asleep, or away.
Attached garages, common throughout Sterling Heights subdivisions, are also a frequent CO source (a car left running, or a snowblower/generator used too close to the house door) — we typically recommend a CO detector near the garage entry door in addition to bedroom-level coverage.
What it costs
Adding monitored smoke/CO detection to an existing alarm system typically runs $80–$180 per sensor installed. Standalone monitored fire/CO-only setups (no burglar alarm) typically start around $300–$600 installed, plus monitoring.

Frequently asked questions
Does fire/CO monitoring cost extra?
It's usually a small add-on to standard monitoring plans rather than a separate service — ask for exact pricing during your quote.
Will this replace my existing smoke alarms?
Not necessarily — we can often integrate with hardwired smoke alarms already in your home rather than replacing every unit.
How fast is dispatch for a fire or CO alert?
Unlike burglar alarms, fire and CO signals are typically dispatched immediately without a call-first verification delay, given the life-safety risk.
Do rental properties need CO detectors in Michigan?
Michigan law requires carbon monoxide alarms in most rental dwellings with fuel-burning appliances or attached garages — we can help confirm your specific compliance needs.
