FAQs

What are the key features of Reliance smoke detectors?

Reliance smoke detectors are designed with advanced sensing technology to quickly detect smoke and alert you during an emergency. They feature durable construction, easy installation, and battery backup to ensure continuous operation even during power outages. Additionally, some models offer additional features such as interconnected alarms for enhanced home safety.

How do I install a Reliance smoke detector?

Installation is straightforward. First, read the user manual to determine the best placement—typically on ceilings or high on walls where smoke is likely to accumulate. Use the provided mounting bracket and hardware to secure the device. It is important to avoid areas near windows, bathrooms, or kitchens where false alarms might occur. After mounting, insert the battery (or connect to your electrical system if it is a hardwired model) and perform a test by pressing the test button.

How often should I test and maintain my smoke detectors?

It is recommended to test your smoke detectors at least once a month by pressing the test button to ensure they are functioning properly. Additionally, batteries should be replaced at least once a year if your device is battery-powered, or sooner if you notice any signs of device failure. Regular cleaning to remove dust or debris is also important for maintaining optimal performance.

What types of smoke detectors are available at Reliance?

Reliance offers a range of smoke detectors including ionization detectors and photoelectric detectors. Ionization smoke detectors are generally more responsive to fast-flaming fires, while photoelectric detectors excel in detecting smoldering fires. Some models come with dual-sensor technology, combining both detection methods to provide comprehensive protection.

How do smoke detectors help in preventing fire-related injuries and damage?

Smoke detectors serve as an early warning system by detecting smoke and initiating a loud alarm to alert occupants of a potential fire. This early detection provides crucial extra time for evacuation and calling emergency services. Regularly maintained detectors have proven to significantly reduce the risk of injury or death by allowing quicker response times during a fire emergency.

When should I consider replacing my Reliance smoke detector?

Most manufacturers, including Reliance, recommend replacing smoke detectors every 10 years from the date of manufacture. Even if the device appears to be working well, the sensor's sensitivity can deteriorate over time. If you encounter frequent false alarms, physical damage, or notice that the alarm does not sound during testing, it may be time for a replacement.

What our customers say

Hep has done a lot of things at our house...windows, doors, A/C, electrical...never disappointed with the service or quality of work!

HEP has been wonderful. I created an electrical problem which when I call HEP they sent out a tech who fixed it and then looked at my heating unit. I have known for sometime that the unit needed to be replaced. Doug was kind enough to evaluate the current system and at his suggestion I asked for a salesman to meet with me. He was kind enough to get the salesman here the same day and I purchased a unit that they are installing now. It has been like clockwork, each piece of the puzzle coming together. HEP you have a great team that knows how to work in sync. Thank you so much.

David Nicholson was the HEP employee that did my electrical inspection today. He called ahead of time and gave me a time of arrival. He arrived on time, introduced himself, and was very professional and courteous . He explained what the inspection would cover and ask if I had any questions or concerns. HEP should be proud to have such an awesome employee.

Our eleven-year-old heating and air conditioning system failed early in the Summer. We called HEP and after some discussion with their advisors we decided to invest in a state-of-the-art HVAC system manufactured by Trane and sold through HEP. It was installed quickly and efficiently and without delay by HEP service men. Part of the attraction was the Warranty offered by HEP which included a three-year-maintenance-and inspection-agreement on all household plumbing and electrical equipment, as well as a full ten-year-parts-and-labor Warranty on the HVAC system itself. Subsequently, we required service on our hot-tub and HEP's response ( from serviceman Richie) was quick, professional, and reasonable. We found him to be courteous and helpful. The problem turned out to be minor and we were only charged accordingly and fairly. We intend to continue to be HEP customers for all of our plumbing, electrical, and HVAC needs for the foreseeable future.
