Frequently Asked Questions

A generator should have enough watts to power your most critical household appliances and equipment, such as a refrigerator, freezer, lighting, well pumps, furnace fan, and air conditioner.

A generator with 5000-7500 watts can be sufficient to run the most critical equipment, with 7500+ watts more capable of running all equipment simultaneously.

Emergency Lighting

A building’s electricity will inevitably cut out at some point– perhaps due to a fire or disaster, but most likely simply because of a power outage. You will need emergency lighting with a battery power source in these cases. Emergency lighting allows occupants to exit a building during a power outage safely. The National Building Code of Canada requires emergency lighting systems to automatically provide lighting to commercial, institutional, medical, and industrial buildings. Safety is paramount. Not only can Amptec help building owners make facilities safer, but we can also make sure that you meet legal standards for emergency and exit lights.

Emergency Generators

A power outage can bring your business or home to a grinding halt. It can result in lost digital information and spoiled food, and it can even pose a serious health risk if someone in your home relies on electrical medical equipment. In such cases, it’s vital to have an emergency generator that is up to date and that complies with standards established by Alberta Building Code. The purpose is to keep the power running until the electricity turns back on.

Carbon Monoxide Detectors

Carbon monoxide is known as the “silent killer.” It’s a colourless, odourless gas that can render a person unconscious and is quickly fatal in large doses; in smaller doses for prolonged periods, it can result in gradual but severe health consequences. Moreover, it can adversely affect the well-being of those suffering from health conditions and respiratory diseases. For this reason, it is vital to ensure that the carbon emission levels in your home are within the safe bracket. By installing reliable carbon monoxide detectors in Edmonton, we can help you ensure the carbon levels are under control.

Carbon monoxide poisoning can be due to faulty furnaces, wood-burning stoves, propane-fueled equipment, or vehicle exhaust fumes. Since we can’t smell it, it’s essential to have a detector for your home, garage or parkade. For homes near industrial premises, carbon detectors can help check the harmful carbon ions in the environment. Our technicians will certify that the CO alarms are installed and operating according to Edmonton’s local building codes. Since there are many variables to consider, such as the location and different models, consider hiring a qualified professional who can install and inspect the carbon monoxide detectors.

You can also look out for signs to check carbon monoxide emissions.

Do you see dark greyish or brown-yellow stains near your leaking appliance? If yes, then it can be a possible sign of carbon monoxide.

Does the air inside your home always smell funny, as if something is burning or overheating? It could indicate that the carbon monoxide levels in your home are unsafe.

Do you see soot, fumes or smoke from your fireplace or chimney? These are other indications for you to check for carbon monoxide levels in your home.

You can also call the experts at Amptec Fire & Security to guide you through checking for carbon monoxide levels and assisting you with reducing the emissions by an alternative placement of your appliances.
