Real Reviews from Our Customers

We have used Sentry Electric several times and have always been very pleased with the quality of work, professionalism and pricing. Most recently Steve came to our home to work on our daughter’s fairy bedroom installing some new lights and reworking outlets. The work was done quickly and cleanly and our daughter is over the moon with the results. We will be using Sentry Electric’s services for all our electrical needs in the future.”

- Cymon K.

I had a relatively straightforward problem with my outdoor outlets not staying on and flipping their central GFCI switch often and then eventually just not coming back on. The guys who helped me (I believe it was Steven and Reagan, apologies if I’m misspelling the names) not only got things back up and running with a new GFCI switch, but explained to me why the strange wiring in my house was likely done the way it was, how I can keep the outlets from flipping that switch so much (hint: don’t have an extension cord plugged in outside year-round where water can get in it), why GFCI switches might fail constantly after being flipped enough times, and what I could do with the outlets themselves if I ever wanted to make a more permanent change to the way they are being flipped at a central point.”

- Robert W.

“I received terrific service today from Sentry Electric. Joshua and Wyatt were very courteous and professional. I had a dryer outlet and relay box with wiring that had gone south. They gave me an estimate, explained the work scope thoroughly and did an EXCELLENT job on the new installation!! They also completely cleaned up after the install which I appreciated. I would definitely recommend Sentry Electric and will use them again for my future needs.”

- Carol S.

“Vincent is always friendly and thorough, and I appreciate his willingness to answer our questions. Sentry has always treated us with the highest level of professionalism, and we certainly recommend their services.”

Smoke Detector FAQs: Your Safety Questions Answered

Smoke detectors are a vital part of any home’s safety plan. Here are some common questions we address:

The number of smoke detectors needed depends on the size and layout of your home. You should have at least one smoke detector on every level, including the basement and inside each bedroom. Our team can help you decide how many units you need and where they should be installed.

Ionization smoke detectors are generally more responsive to flaming fires, while photoelectric detectors are better at detecting smoldering fires. We recommend installing both types for comprehensive protection.

Smoke detectors should be replaced every ten years, even if they work fine. The sensors inside can degrade over time, reducing their effectiveness.

Most smoke detectors have a test button. Press and hold the button until the alarm sounds. It’s important to test your smoke detectors monthly to ensure they’re working properly.
