FAQs
What types of smoke detectors do you offer in Harrison?
We carry a full range of state-of-the-art smoke detection devices, including photoelectric, ionization, and dual-sensor units, as well as combination smoke/CO alarms. All models are hard-wired with battery backup for uninterrupted protection and are UL-listed for residential or light-commercial use.
How do your state-of-the-art detectors differ from traditional smoke alarms?
Our newest detectors feature micro-processor–driven sensors that analyze particulate size and density to reduce false alarms while speeding up legitimate fire detection. Many models include self-diagnostics, voice alerts, end-of-life notifications, and wireless interconnection, so when one unit sounds, every unit in the building sounds as well.
Are the detectors compliant with Harrison and state building codes?
Yes. All products meet or exceed NFPA 72 standards and are fully compliant with New York/New Jersey Residential Code, including the requirement for hard-wired power with battery backup and unit replacement every 10 years. We also stock models that satisfy specific multi-family occupancy rules enforced by the Harrison Building Department.
Can these electrical smoke detectors integrate with smart-home or security systems?
Absolutely. Most of our premium units support Zigbee, Z-Wave, or Wi-Fi connectivity, allowing seamless integration with platforms like Google Home, Amazon Alexa, Apple HomeKit, and professional security panels. Integration enables remote alerts, real-time status checks, and automatic system actions such as unlocking smart locks or activating indoor lights during an alarm.
How often should the detectors be tested and maintained?
We recommend pressing the test button on each unit once a month and performing a full functional test (including simulated smoke) twice a year. Batteries in the backup compartment should be changed annually, even if the low-battery chirp has not sounded. Vacuum the unit’s vents every six months to remove dust, and replace the entire detector after 10 years or immediately if it fails any test.
Do you provide professional installation in Harrison, and what should I expect?
Yes. Our licensed electricians handle everything from site assessment and code compliance to wiring and final inspection. A standard single-family installation (3–6 detectors) typically takes 2–3 hours and starts at about $275, including materials. We schedule within 48 hours of your call, pull any required permits, and provide a signed compliance certificate for your insurance or closing documents.
