FAQs

Why is it important to install smoke detectors in my home?

Smoke detectors are essential for early fire detection, providing critical time to evacuate safely. They significantly reduce the risk of injury or death in the event of a fire by alerting you promptly, even while you're sleeping.

How often should I test my smoke detectors?

It's recommended to test your smoke detectors at least once a month. Regular testing ensures they are functioning properly and will alert you in case of a fire. You can test them by pressing the test button until the alarm sounds.

How frequently should I replace the batteries in my smoke detectors?

Battery replacement should occur at least once a year. However, it's crucial to replace the batteries immediately if the detector starts 'chirping', signaling a low battery. For units with non-replaceable 10-year batteries, replace the entire detector every 10 years.

What is the difference between ionization and photoelectric smoke detectors?

Ionization smoke detectors are quicker at detecting flaming fires with smaller combustion particles, while photoelectric detectors are better at sensing smoldering fires that produce larger particles. For optimal safety, it's recommended to have both types installed or opt for dual-sensor alarms.

Where should smoke detectors be installed in my home?

Smoke detectors should be installed inside each bedroom, outside each sleeping area, and on every level of your home, including the basement. In larger homes, extra units may be necessary. Ensure they are placed on the ceiling or high on the wall and away from kitchen areas to prevent false alarms.

How can I maintain my smoke detectors to ensure they operate effectively?

To maintain smoke detectors, clean them regularly by gently vacuuming with a soft brush attachment to remove dust and debris. Regularly test the alarms, replace batteries annually, and replace the entire unit every 10 years. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions for specific maintenance guidelines.

Connor did good work and made sure the job was done before leaving, he even went and got the parts and stayed late so that we didn't have to wait for the next day for the repair to be complete.
