FAQs
What types of smoke detectors do you offer for residential and commercial properties in Pikeville?
We stock a full range of UL-listed photoelectric, ionization, and dual-sensor smoke detectors, including hard-wired, battery-operated, and 10-year sealed lithium models. For commercial customers, we also carry addressable devices that integrate with most fire alarm control panels. All units come with loud 85-dB sounders and optional voice evacuation, strobe, or CO detection features to meet varied occupancy requirements in Pikeville homes, offices, healthcare facilities, and industrial sites.
Are your smoke detectors compliant with Kentucky and local Pikeville building and fire codes?
Yes. Every detector we sell complies with NFPA 72, the Kentucky State Fire Code (815 KAR 10:060), and the City of Pikeville’s amendments for new construction and remodels. Our team stays current with code updates, so whether you need interconnected 120-V units with battery backup for a single-family dwelling or low-frequency sounders for sleeping areas in apartments, we guide you to products that pass inspection the first time.
How often should I test, clean, and replace my smoke detectors?
Test each detector at least once a month by pressing the test button until the alarm sounds. Vacuum the detector’s vents every six months to remove dust common in Eastern Kentucky’s coal-rich environment, which can reduce sensitivity. Replace 9-V batteries every 6–12 months (or when the low-battery chirp sounds). Entire detector units should be replaced every 10 years, per NFPA recommendations, or sooner if they fail a weekly test. Our models have end-of-life indicators that alert you when it’s time for replacement.
Do you provide professional installation and interconnection services in Pikeville and surrounding areas?
Absolutely. Our licensed electricians install and interlink smoke detectors throughout Pike County, Floyd County, and Letcher County. We handle wiring, conduit, and breaker labeling, verify detector placement per code (within 12 inches of the ceiling, outside every sleeping area, and on each floor), and perform a final system test with you present. Same-day service is available for most residential jobs, and we can coordinate with general contractors for new builds or renovations.
Can your smart smoke detectors integrate with my existing security or home-automation system?
Yes. We carry Wi-Fi, Z-Wave, and Zigbee-enabled detectors that integrate seamlessly with leading platforms such as Ring, Alarm.com, Honeywell Home, and SmartThings. Once connected, you can receive real-time mobile alerts, silence nuisance alarms remotely, and trigger automations like unlocking smart locks or shutting down HVAC systems during an event. Our technicians can program these features for you and ensure your network settings meet manufacturer security guidelines.
What warranty and ongoing support do you provide for smoke detector purchases?
All residential units include a 10-year limited manufacturer’s warranty; commercial addressable devices carry 5 years. We supplement this with a 2-year labor warranty on every professional installation. Customers receive free annual email reminders for testing and battery replacement, priority phone support 24/7, and discounted upgrade pricing when your detectors near end-of-life. If a unit fails under warranty, we process the RMA and install a replacement at no additional charge within Pikeville city limits.
