What's different about smoke & co detector installation in Naples
Gas appliances, attached garages and generator use during hurricane outages make carbon monoxide alarms near bedrooms important. Renovations under permit typically require hardwired, interconnected alarms. Permits come from the City of Naples' building department or Collier County. Replace alarms by the date printed on the back, since salt air and humidity can shorten their life.
Many homes were rebuilt or renovated after Ian, often with panels and equipment raised above flood level. Older homes may still have original panels, and large waterfront homes often have pools, docks and boat lifts with their own circuits.
