Smart homes devices can add safety, peace of mind, and convenience to your home. Plus, you can even install it yourself! Smart home devices, which may include switches, plugs, and light bulbs, can be activated by either installing an app on your phone, or by using a home device, such as Google Home or Amazon Dot.

Here at Totally Electric, we want you to always feel safe in your home. One of the most significant safety features of your house is your smoke detector, or “smoke”. Many people aren’t aware that smokes expire. A regular smoke will last about eight to ten years, and a carbon monoxide smoke will last between five and seven years. Before you panic wondering how old your smoke detector is, almost all smokes have an expiration date on them.
