Alarm Replacement

Hard wired smoke and carbon monoxide alarms connect directly to your home's electrical system, ensuring continuous power without the need to replace batteries frequently. In addition to a steady power source, most hard wired alarms have a battery backup to keep them operational during power outages.

One key advantage of hard wired alarms is their interconnectivity. When one alarm senses smoke or carbon monoxide, all connected alarms throughout the house will sound simultaneously, enhancing early warning and increasing your family’s chances of a safe escape.

Replacement of hard wired alarms typically requires professional assistance to ensure proper wiring and compliance with local building codes. Equity Home Improvement LLC offers expert installation services to help you safeguard your Central Ohio home with reliable, code-compliant smoke and carbon monoxide detection systems.

Cooktop Replacement

Replacing your cook-top stove is a job that requires careful consideration of a couple of different factors. The main thing to be aware of is the power that a cooktop requires. Cooktops have their own dedicated circuit and can require up to 20 amps of electricity. Matching the power requirements of your new cooktop to the power provided from this dedicated circuit is crucial both to safety and for avoiding costly repairs. The other factor to consider is the size of your new cooktop compared to the available space. As products are constantly changing, it is pretty likely that some modifications will need to be made in order to install your new cook-top safely and correctly.

Range Hood Installation

A home’s Range Hood is essential for maintaining effective ventilation in your kitchen.

Older models may be less energy-efficient, noisier, and lack modern features such as improved lighting or quieter fans. Upgrading to a new range hood enhances air circulation, reduces health risks associated with trapped pollutants, and can improve the overall look and value of your kitchen. Additionally, a new unit ensures compliance with current safety standards and building codes. Contact Equity Home Improvement today for a free estimate or to schedule an in-home consultation.

Did You Know?

Every home with a combustion furnace produces carbon monoxide: a colorless, odorless, poisonous gas. Due to its invisible and undetectable nature (without specialized equipment), carbon monoxide poses a serious health risk. It's essential to install carbon monoxide detectors throughout your home, especially near sleeping areas, to ensure early detection and prevent potential poisoning. Regular maintenance of your furnace by qualified professionals can also help minimize carbon monoxide production and keep your home safe.

If left in disrepair, it will create an environment in your attic that is attractive to insects and suitable for mold growth.
