FAQs
How often should smoke detectors in Ten Mile homes be inspected or tested?
The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) recommends testing every detector at least once a month and having a qualified electrician perform a full inspection annually. In Ten Mile, our maintenance service combines a visual check, functionality test, and sensitivity verification to make sure each unit meets Tennessee state fire-code requirements.
What specific maintenance tasks do your technicians perform on smoke detectors?
During a scheduled visit, our licensed electricians will: • Test the alarm sounder and built-in indicator lights • Verify power supply integrity (battery or hard-wired) • Check and clean sensing chambers to remove dust or cobwebs • Measure detector sensitivity with specialized equipment • Confirm correct placement and mounting height • Record the service date on each unit and issue a detailed report for your records
Do you replace batteries during routine maintenance?
Yes. For battery-powered or battery-backup models, we automatically install fresh, high-quality lithium batteries at no extra labor charge. We also dispose of old batteries in an environmentally responsible manner. If your detectors are hard-wired with sealed 10-year batteries, we note the manufacture date and recommend replacement when they approach end-of-life.
Can you upgrade my existing smoke detectors to hard-wired or interconnected units?
Absolutely. Many Ten Mile homeowners choose to convert stand-alone, battery-only alarms to hard-wired, interconnected detectors for enhanced safety. Our team can run new 120-volt lines, install junction boxes, and connect alarms so that when one unit sounds, they all sound. We can also add carbon-monoxide or combination CO/smoke alarms during the same visit.
Are your smoke detector services compliant with Tennessee and local Ten Mile regulations?
Yes. We follow NFPA 72 (National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code), the 2018 International Residential Code as adopted by Tennessee, and any Roane/McMinn County amendments that apply to Ten Mile properties. All replacement devices we install are UL-listed, and we provide a compliance certificate you can present to insurers or local inspectors if needed.
How quickly can you schedule a smoke detector maintenance visit in Ten Mile, and what does it cost?
We offer next-day appointments Monday through Saturday for Ten Mile residents. Standard pricing starts at $89 for up to three detectors, with each additional unit only $12. This fee includes battery replacement, testing, cleaning, and a written inspection report. Emergency same-day service is also available for a modest surcharge.
