From Duvid Neuman/Dave’s Electrical Services:
Install Combination Smoke / Carbon Monoxide detectors. Get the ones that talk to each other. Test detectors weekly. Change batteries twice yearly Install one in each bedroom or sleeping area, in halls outside the bedrooms and one on each floor. it is a relatively inexpensive and save lives. I want to reiterate: TEST REGULARY and CHANGE BATTERIES TWICE YEARLY.
Have a licensed electrician check your electrical system including switches, receptacles, and appliance cord ends. Be cautious of using space heaters and any electric warming / cooking appliance. Have the electrical distribution [panel boxes, fuse boxes] inspected as well.
