FAQs

How often should smoke detector batteries be replaced?

It is recommended to replace smoke detector batteries at least once a year. However, it is also advisable to test your smoke detectors monthly to ensure they are working correctly, and to replace batteries immediately if the low-battery warning chirps.

What is the lifespan of a smoke detector?

The average lifespan of a smoke detector is 8-10 years. After this period, the entire smoke detector unit should be replaced to ensure optimal functionality and safety.

Should I have both ionization and photoelectric smoke detectors in my home?

Yes, it is highly recommended to have both ionization and photoelectric smoke detectors, or dual-sensor alarms, in your home. Ionization detectors are more responsive to flaming fires, whereas photoelectric detectors are better at detecting smoldering fires, providing comprehensive coverage.

Where should smoke detectors be installed in my home?

Smoke detectors should be installed on every level of your home, including the basement, inside each bedroom, and outside each sleeping area. They should be placed high on walls or ceilings, as smoke rises, and away from drafts or dead-air spaces where smoke might not reach.

Are there any maintenance tips for smoke detectors?

Yes, besides changing the batteries annually and testing the units monthly, you should also keep smoke detectors clean by gently vacuuming them with a soft brush attachment. Avoid using water or cleaning solvents. Additionally, regularly check the manufacturing date to ensure the unit has not exceeded its lifespan.

What types of smoke detectors are available?

There are primarily three types of smoke detectors: ionization alarms, photoelectric alarms, and dual-sensor alarms. Ionization alarms are best at detecting fast, flaming fires, while photoelectric alarms are better for smoldering, smoky fires. Dual-sensor alarms combine both technologies for more comprehensive protection.

My HVAC system went down on a late Saturday night and i called HEP right away. They were calm and friendly on the phone, which allowed for us to get a tech out to my home. Justin came to my house at 7pm and did not leave until the problem was solved in every aspect of my issue at 11:30pm. I currently have a pregnant wife and he understood we needed to get air moving again. We worked late into the night to make sure we could have cool flowing air for the night. Once the job was completed for the day, he came back a second day to install new wiring within the home for the thermostat to the HVAC. He found and fixed previous issues from the prior homeowner and left my home better than how he found it. I am extremely appreciative of Justin and if you call HEP around the Knoxville area, I will request him in a heartbeat if I ever have any more issues and I think you should to. Thank you, Justin for your help and expertise.
