Smoke Detector & Carbon Monoxide Detector Installation in Orange County, CA
Smoke and carbon monoxide detectors aren’t flashy upgrades—but they are the most important safety devices in your home or business. When they work properly, they save lives.

That’s why homeowners and businesses across Orange County trust O’Hagan Electric for professional smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector installation. We install modern, code-compliant systems designed to provide reliable, early warnings—so you can sleep better knowing your property and everyone inside it is protected.
