1. Lightning and Surge Protection
Kansas is notorious for having unpredictable weather, especially when it comes to severe thunderstorms.

We offer safety inspections, code corrections, and free estimates depending on your needs. Trust the professionals at Young Electric to help make sure everything is properly protected when the next storm strikes.
2. Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Detectors
When it comes to smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, you want to be proactive, not reactive. Just having them in the home isn’t enough. Did you know there are basic code requirements that must be met to make them as safe as possible? That’s right, if your home was built after 1976, your smoke alarm should be powered from your electrical panel, while still supplemented by individual battery power. Additionally, it is important that they are all interconnected so all alarms sound if one senses smoke. Along with efficient smoke alarms, it is important to utilize carbon monoxide detectors. Installation of these near water heaters and furnaces provides enhanced protection for you and your family. We all know how important smoke and carbon monoxide detectors are, let the experts at Young Electric make sure everything is up to code and installed properly, just in case the unthinkable happens.
