FAQs

How often should smoke detectors be tested?

It's recommended to test smoke detectors once a month to ensure they are working properly. This can be done by pressing the test button on the unit. Regular testing helps ensure that the alarm sounds in the event of a fire.

What is the lifespan of a smoke detector?

Most smoke detectors have a lifespan of about 10 years. After this period, the sensors may not work as effectively regardless of battery replacements. It's important to replace the entire unit after 10 years to maintain optimal safety.

How often should I replace the batteries in my smoke detector?

Batteries in smoke detectors should be replaced at least once a year. However, you should also replace the batteries immediately if the detector signals a low battery, usually indicated by a chirping sound.

Are there different types of smoke detectors?

Yes, there are two primary types of smoke detectors: ionization and photoelectric. Ionization detectors are generally better at detecting fast, flaming fires, whereas photoelectric detectors are more responsive to smoldering fires. It's often recommended to have a combination of both types in your home for comprehensive coverage.

Can smoke detectors detect carbon monoxide?

Standard smoke detectors do not detect carbon monoxide (CO). However, there are combination detectors available that can detect both smoke and CO. It's advisable to install both smoke detectors and CO detectors in your home for maximum safety.

Where is the best place to install smoke detectors in my home?

Smoke detectors should be installed on every level of your home, including the basement. They should be placed inside each bedroom and outside each sleeping area. Additionally, it's best to install them on the ceiling or high on the wall due to the fact that smoke rises.

What our customers say

Robert Christian was the tech guy that came out to see what was going on with our AC unit. He was very polite, right on time, super helpful and offered great service and advice. Robert Camp and his partner were referred to come by and give me an estimate for electrical services. They were so nice and friendly. I had a great time dealing with them and getting a little better understanding about the project from them as well.
