FAQs
Why should I upgrade to cutting-edge smoke detectors instead of keeping my older battery units?
Next-generation detectors use photoelectric and/or dual-sensor technology that responds faster to both smouldering and flaming fires, greatly reducing false alarms. Many models feature built-in carbon-monoxide sensing, self-diagnostics, end-of-life alerts, and app-based notifications, so you’ll know immediately—whether you’re home or not—if there’s a danger in your Thorn Hill property.
What smoke-detection technologies do you install in Thorn Hill?
We supply and install Wi-Fi–enabled photoelectric, ionisation, dual-sensor, and air-sampling (aspirating) detectors. Air-sampling systems continuously draw in air through pipes and can detect smoke at an earlier stage than point detectors, making them ideal for high-value homes, server rooms, and heritage properties.
How often should my smoke detectors be tested or replaced?
Test every detector monthly using the test button. Clean the vents with a vacuum brush twice a year. Replace batteries in battery-backup units annually (or as soon as the low-battery chirp sounds). Per manufacturer and Ontario Fire Code guidelines, replace the entire detector every 10 years—advanced models will alert you when they reach end-of-life.
Can you integrate new detectors with my existing smart-home or security system?
Yes. We configure detectors to interface with Alexa, Google Home, Apple HomeKit, and most professional alarm panels. When smoke or CO is detected, you can receive push alerts, trigger lighting pathways for safe evacuation, or automatically notify a monitoring station.
Do your products meet local regulations and insurance requirements?
All devices we install are UL/ULC listed and comply with Ontario Fire Code, CAN/ULC-S531, and BNQ 122-M91 standards. We provide an installation certificate that many insurers request for premium discounts or policy compliance in Thorn Hill.
What ongoing services do you offer after installation, and what do they cost?
We offer annual inspection and testing plans starting at $99 per residence, which include cleaning, battery replacement, firmware updates, and a compliance report for your records. Optional 24/7 remote monitoring begins at $14.95 per month; this service dispatches emergency responders automatically if an alarm is verified.
