FAQs
What makes your cutting-edge electrical smoke detectors different from traditional battery-powered units?
Our detectors are hard-wired directly into your home’s electrical system and include a built-in lithium backup battery, so you get 24/7 protection even during a power outage. They also feature advanced photoelectric/ionization dual-sensor technology for quicker detection of both slow-smoldering and fast-flaming fires, self-diagnostics that run every 60 seconds, and wireless interconnection that allows all alarms in the home to sound simultaneously for faster occupant notification.
Are your smoke detectors compliant with Oakdale and California building codes?
Yes. All models meet or exceed the latest UL 217 standards, are listed by the California State Fire Marshal, and satisfy Oakdale’s municipal code requirements, including the mandate for interconnected alarms with 10-year sealed backup batteries in all sleeping areas and on every level of the dwelling.
Do I need a professional electrician to install these detectors, or can I do it myself?
Because the units are hard-wired to 120 V circuits, California law requires installation by a licensed C-10 electrical contractor. Professional installation ensures proper breaker connection, correct interconnect wiring, and full function testing, which protects your warranty and guarantees city inspection approval in Oakdale.
How often do the detectors need maintenance or replacement?
The self-diagnostic feature alerts you through voice and app notifications if sensors are obstructed or the unit malfunctions. We recommend vacuuming the vents twice a year and performing a monthly push-button or app test. Like all smoke alarms, the sensing chamber degrades over time, so the entire unit should be replaced every 10 years, regardless of remaining battery life.
Can these smoke detectors be integrated with my smart-home system?
Absolutely. The detectors use Wi-Fi and Zigbee protocols and are compatible with Amazon Alexa, Google Home, and SmartThings. Once paired through our free OakSafe app, you can receive mobile alerts, silence nuisance alarms remotely (if safe to do so), and generate compliance reports for insurance purposes.
What happens if there’s a nuisance alarm from cooking or steam?
Our detectors include an Intelligent Drift-Compensation algorithm and a sealed micro-mesh screen that reduce false alarms. If one does occur, you can silence it with a 10-foot, 60-second hush button on the unit, a wall-mounted remote switch, or via the OakSafe mobile app. The alarm will automatically reset to full sensitivity after the air clears, ensuring continuous protection.
