Why You Need a Professional for CO Detector Services
Carbon monoxide is an invisible, odorless gas that can become deadly within minutes of exposure. Common sources in Denver homes include gas stoves, fireplaces, furnaces, water heaters, and even running vehicles in attached garages.
A professionally installed CO detector is the only reliable way to protect your home from this silent danger. Our team understands how carbon monoxide moves through houses and knows exactly where detectors need to be placed for maximum coverage and early warning.
We install and test every CO device to ensure it’s ready to alert your family at the first sign of dangerous carbon monoxide levels. If you’re unsure whether your current CO detectors are properly placed or working correctly, Top Shelf can inspect your setup and recommend upgrades for better protection.

- Testing your detectors every month to ensure proper operation

- Upgrading smoke detectors every 10 years and CO detectors every 5-7 years
