FAQs
Why are smoke detectors essential for my Rockwood home or business?
Smoke detectors provide an early warning of fire, allowing you and your family—or employees and customers—to evacuate safely before flames and toxic smoke spread. In Ontario, the Fire Code requires every dwelling unit to have working smoke alarms on every storey and outside all sleeping areas. Properly installed and maintained smoke detectors dramatically reduce fire-related injuries and fatalities.
How often should smoke detectors be replaced or upgraded?
Most manufacturers and the Ontario Fire Marshal recommend replacing smoke detectors every 10 years, even if they still pass the test button. The internal sensing chamber can degrade over time, reducing reliability. If your alarms are older than a decade, chirping frequently, yellowed, or have been painted over, it’s time to schedule a replacement with HEP Electrical.
What types of smoke detectors does HEP Electrical install in Rockwood?
We supply and install photoelectric, ionisation, and dual-sensor smoke detectors, as well as CO/smoke combination units. For larger homes or commercial spaces we also install hard-wired or wireless interconnected alarms so that when one device sounds, all units activate simultaneously. All products we use are ULC-listed, meet CSA standards, and comply with Ontario Building Code requirements.
Can HEP Electrical integrate smoke detectors with my existing smart-home or security system?
Yes. We install smart Wi-Fi and Z-Wave smoke alarms that send mobile alerts, provide voice notifications, and interface with platforms such as Google Home, Alexa, and most professionally monitored security panels. During your on-site assessment we verify compatibility, configure the devices, and show you how to monitor them from your phone or control panel.
Do you provide testing, maintenance, and inspection services?
Absolutely. HEP Electrical offers annual or semi-annual smoke alarm inspections that include functional testing, battery replacement (if applicable), detector cleaning, and documentation for insurance or fire-code compliance. For rental properties, we can create a maintenance schedule that satisfies the Landlord and Tenant Board’s requirements and protects you from liability.
What does smoke detector installation cost in Rockwood?
Pricing depends on the number of detectors, whether wiring is needed, and if you choose basic, interconnected, or smart units. As a guideline, standalone battery-powered alarms start around $65 installed, while hard-wired interconnected or smart models range from $120–$220 each. We provide free, no-obligation quotes that include hardware, labour, permits (if required), and a 1-year workmanship warranty.
