FAQs
Do you provide 24/7 emergency service for smoke detector problems in Lynchburg?
Yes. Our round-the-clock Performance Electrical team is on call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Whether your hard-wired smoke alarm is beeping continuously, you’re experiencing false alarms, or you need an immediate replacement after a lightning surge, a licensed technician can be dispatched anywhere in the greater Lynchburg area—usually within an hour of your call.
What types of smoke detectors can you install or service?
We install, replace, and maintain all common types, including ionization, photoelectric, dual-sensor, and combination smoke/CO detectors. Options include battery-only units, 120-volt hard-wired models with battery backup, and interconnected smart detectors that integrate with security or home-automation systems.
How often should smoke detectors be tested and replaced?
National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) guidelines—and the City of Lynchburg fire code—recommend testing each unit once a month and replacing the entire detector every 10 years. Backup batteries (even in hard-wired units) should be changed at least once a year or immediately when a low-battery chirp is heard.
Can you upgrade my existing hard-wired detectors to meet current Virginia code?
Absolutely. We begin with a free on-site evaluation, verify circuit integrity, and check placement requirements (inside every bedroom and on each level, including basements). We’ll remove outdated devices, install new code-compliant interconnected units with sealed 10-year lithium backups, label breakers, and provide the documentation required for home inspections or insurance purposes.
What is the average cost for smoke detector installation or replacement?
Pricing depends on quantity, type, and accessibility. In Lynchburg, a single standard hard-wired replacement typically ranges from $95–$140, including the device. Whole-house packages (5–8 interconnected smart detectors) usually fall between $650–$1,100. We offer free estimates, transparent pricing, and discounts for military, seniors, and first responders.
Do you offer maintenance plans for landlords or commercial properties?
Yes. Our Annual Life-Safety Maintenance Plan covers multifamily, retail, and office spaces. It includes documented semi-annual detector testing, battery replacement, cleaning to remove dust/paint overspray, and priority 2-hour response for any alarm issues—all in compliance with NFPA 72 and Virginia Statewide Fire Prevention Code.
