Capulin is plains country: big sky, steady wind, and summer storms that arrive quickly. Wind-blown dust works into outdoor equipment, hail damages exterior fixtures, and lightning surges are a regular cause of failed electronics.

Electric service in Union County is typically provided by your local utility or rural electric cooperative. For work on the service entrance or meter, we arrange the disconnect and reconnect with them so you do not have to.

Smoke Detector Wiring FAQs for Capulin

Are hardwired smoke detectors better?

Yes. They run on house power with a battery backup, and when interconnected, every alarm sounds together, which gives more warning.

Every ten years. The manufacture date is printed on the back.

Can you add hardwired alarms to an older Capulin home?

Yes. We run the interconnect wiring through the attic, or use wirelessly interconnected alarms where running cable is not practical.

All of Capulin and the surrounding Union County communities, including Des Moines, Folsom, and Raton.
