FAQs
What types of smoke detectors do you install in Ocoee homes and businesses?
Reliable Technology Electrical supplies and installs the full range of UL-listed smoke detection devices specified by Florida Building Code and NFPA 72. That includes conventional battery-powered units, hard-wired detectors with battery backup, 10-year sealed-lithium models, photoelectric sensors for smoldering fires, ionization sensors for fast-flame fires, and dual-sensor or multi-criteria detectors that combine smoke and heat sensing. We also provide low-frequency and strobe units to meet ADA accessibility requirements.
How often should smoke detectors be replaced or upgraded?
The National Fire Protection Association recommends replacing every smoke detector after 10 years from the manufacture date, even if it still chirps when tested. Sensors lose sensitivity over time, and older units often lack today’s safety features such as sealed batteries, hush buttons, and wireless interconnection. If your device is close to 10 years old, missing a date label, or no longer compliant with the 2017 Florida Building Code updates, schedule a replacement with us right away.
Can you install interconnected smoke detectors so all alarms sound at once?
Yes. Interconnection is strongly encouraged by NFPA 72 and required in most new Ocoee constructions. We offer both hard-wired interconnection, which uses a dedicated signal conductor between detectors, and wireless RF interconnection for retrofit situations where running new cable is impractical. When one unit senses smoke, every detector in the network sounds simultaneously, giving occupants more time to escape.
Do you provide smart or app-enabled smoke detectors?
Absolutely. Our smart smoke detectors integrate with leading platforms such as Google Nest, Ring, Alarm.com, and HomeKit. These units send real-time alerts to your phone, enable remote silencing, and can trigger other smart devices—like turning on lights or unlocking doors—during an alarm. We handle setup, Wi-Fi configuration, mobile app pairing, and user training so you can monitor your property from anywhere.
What routine maintenance is recommended for smoke detectors?
Test every detector monthly by pressing the test button until the alarm sounds. For replaceable-battery models, install fresh batteries at least once a year. Gently vacuum the detector cover every six months to remove dust that can impair sensing. Never paint over the unit. If you hear a persistent chirp, replace the battery or the entire detector if chirping continues. Reliable Technology Electrical offers annual inspection plans that include functional testing, cleaning, battery replacement, and code-compliance verification.
