Protect your family from the invisible danger you can’t smell, see, or hear.
Carbon monoxide (CO) is a silent, deadly gas, and it only takes one malfunctioning appliance or blocked flue to create a dangerous situation. At BTE Electric, we professionally install carbon monoxide detectors in homes across Mid-Michigan and Traverse City, ensuring your detectors are in the right locations, properly wired, and code-compliant.
