FAQs

What are smoke detectors and how do they work?

Smoke detectors are safety devices used to detect the presence of smoke, typically as an indicator of fire. They work by using sensors, such as photoelectric or ionization technology, that sense particles in the air and trigger an alarm when smoke exceeds a set threshold. This rapid notification can give occupants vital time to evacuate or address the situation.

What types of smoke detectors are available?

There are mainly two types of smoke detectors: ionization and photoelectric. Ionization detectors respond quickly to flaming fires with smaller combustion particles, while photoelectric detectors are more responsive to smoldering fires that produce larger smoke particles. Dual-sensor smoke detectors combine both technologies, providing broader protection against different types of fire.

When should smoke detectors be replaced?

It is recommended to replace smoke detectors every 10 years, regardless of their performance. Over time, the sensors within the devices can degrade, reducing their responsiveness. Additionally, regular maintenance checks, including testing the alarm and checking battery life, will ensure that your smoke detectors remain in optimal condition.

Where should smoke detectors be installed?

Smoke detectors should be installed in a range of key locations throughout your home or business. These include inside every sleeping area, outside each separate sleeping area, and on every level of the building, including the basement. They should be placed in locations where cooking fumes or dust are less likely to trigger false alarms, but still provide optimal coverage in case of an emergency.

How should smoke detectors be maintained and tested?

Regular maintenance involves cleaning and testing the unit monthly to ensure it is free from dust and debris that might impair its operation. Replace the batteries at least once a year, or as soon as you hear a low-battery warning. Additionally, follow the manufacturer's guidelines for routine checks and replace the entire unit if it has been in use for longer than the recommended period, generally around 10 years.

Why is using quality smoke detectors important for electrical safety in Kodak installations?

High-quality smoke detectors are essential for protecting life and property, especially in environments like Kodak installations where sensitive electronics and valuable imagery are stored. Quality detectors offer reliable early warning, which can prevent extensive damage and give occupants sufficient time to react. Moreover, they help in meeting local safety codes and regulations, ensuring both compliance and the safety of personnel and assets.

Jessie the Electrician and David the plumber were amazing. David went out of his way to try and help me fix my problem. When there was no solution other than a new countertop he made sure I was taken care of. Chris came out and quickly helped me so that I can begin using my kitchen again.

First of all let me say that every interaction I have had with HEP technicians has been exemplary. This ranges from replacing a hot water heater to general plumbing to general electrical work. Today’s kudos go to Rick (electrician) and Randy (HVAC). Not only did they know what they were talking about (not a given in today’s world) but I felt like they were family before they left. On top of that Allen came back out at 6:30 to write up a quote. One stop shop with high quality. It can’t get better than that.

David Nicholson was the HEP employee that did my electrical inspection today. He called ahead of time and gave me a time of arrival. He arrived on time, introduced himself, and was very professional and courteous . He explained what the inspection would cover and ask if I had any questions or concerns. HEP should be proud to have such an awesome employee.
