Book OnlineEffective smoke detection depends on having the right type of detector in the right location throughout your home. Prostar handles:
Carbon monoxide is colorless and odorless, and at dangerous concentrations it acts quickly. Homes with gas appliances, furnaces, water heaters, fireplaces, or attached garages carry real CO risk, and the only reliable protection is a properly installed and functioning detector. Prostar installs CO detectors in the right locations for your home’s specific layout and appliance configuration, ensuring early warning coverage where it matters most.
A detector that chirps constantly, triggers false alarms, or fails to respond during testing isn’t protecting your home. Prostar diagnoses and resolves common detector issues including:
We come prepared to resolve most detector problems in a single visit.

Battery-powered detectors work independently, which means only the detector nearest to the source activates when a fire or CO event occurs. In a larger home, a family member on the opposite end of the house may not hear a single alarm in time. Hardwired interconnected systems solve this by linking every detector so all of them sound simultaneously when any one is triggered. Prostar installs hardwired smoke and CO detector systems throughout Wilson, NC, providing whole-home coverage and significantly faster notification throughout the house.
Even properly installed detectors need attention to stay reliable:
Prostar also provides professional maintenance visits if you’d rather have us handle inspection and testing on a regular schedule.
North Carolina code requires smoke alarms inside every bedroom, outside each sleeping area, and on every level of the home including the basement. Prostar can assess your current coverage and install any additional units needed to meet code and provide complete protection.
CO detectors should be installed on every level of the home and near sleeping areas so they can wake occupants during nighttime events. They should be positioned within range of fuel-burning appliances but not directly next to them, as normal operation can cause nuisance alarms. Prostar places CO detectors based on your home’s specific layout and appliance locations.
Chirping usually means low battery, dust buildup on the sensor, or a unit that has reached end of life. A chirping detector shouldn’t be ignored or silenced indefinitely. Prostar can determine the specific cause and resolve it.
Smoke detectors have a recommended service life of 10 years. CO detectors typically last 5 to 7 years. After these points, sensor technology degrades even if the unit still appears to function. Prostar can check the manufacture dates on your existing units during a service visit.
Battery-powered units can be self-installed in appropriate locations. Hardwired interconnected systems require a licensed electrician for proper wiring and code compliance. Prostar installs both types and ensures placement meets current safety standards for your specific home.
Dual-function combination alarms are code-compliant and perform well in most residential applications. Separate dedicated units may be preferable in certain locations or configurations. Prostar can help you determine which approach provides the best coverage for your specific home layout.
Yes. Each year, carbon monoxide kills more than 200 Americans and sends nearly 5,000 more to emergency rooms for treatment, reports the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). Where does it come from? When carbon-based fuels such as gas, oil, kerosene or wood burn, they produce gases. When fuel combustion or burning isn’t complete, carbon monoxide enters the air. The CPSC advises that carbon monoxide detectors are the only way to alert yourself to the presence of toxic gas in your home. If you wake in the night with a headache — and especially if another member of the family complains of a headache or is difficult to arouse — get out of the house fast and seek medical help. We recommend carbon monoxide detectors be installed in your home!
Smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors that are old, improperly placed, or not maintained offer a false sense of security.
