FAQs

How often should smoke detector batteries be replaced in Louisville?

In Louisville, it's recommended to replace the batteries in your smoke detectors at least once a year. Some newer models come with a 10-year sealed battery, but these units should still be tested regularly to ensure proper function.

Where should smoke detectors be installed in the home?

Smoke detectors should be installed inside each bedroom, outside each sleeping area, and on every level of the home, including the basement. For the best protection, interconnect all smoke alarms so that when one sounds, they all sound.

What are the different types of smoke detectors available?

There are two main types of smoke detectors: ionization and photoelectric. Ionization smoke detectors are generally more responsive to flaming fires, while photoelectric smoke detectors are typically more responsive to smoldering fires. For comprehensive protection, it’s advisable to use a combination of both types or dual-sensor alarms.

How do I know if my smoke detector is working properly?

To ensure your smoke detector is working properly, test it each month. Most models have a test button that you can press which should emit a loud siren if functioning correctly. If the alarm doesn’t sound, replace the batteries (if applicable) or the unit itself if it's beyond its lifespan.

When should a smoke detector be replaced?

Smoke detectors should generally be replaced every 10 years from the date of manufacture. Look at the back of the detector for a manufacturing date and replace the unit 10 years from that date.

What should I do if my smoke detector goes off unexpectedly?

If your smoke detector goes off unexpectedly, first check for any signs of smoke or fire. If there are none, it may be a false alarm due to dust, steam, or cooking fumes. Clean the detector and ensure it is installed in the correct location. If false alarms continue, it may be time to replace the detector. Always err on the side of caution and ensure it's not a sign of a real fire.

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.
