Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I choose professional smoke detector installation over DIY?
Professional installation ensures that your smoke detectors are installed according to safety codes and best practices, making them more reliable. Our team can install interconnected hardwired detectors, which offer enhanced safety as all alarms sound simultaneously if one detects smoke. This level of protection is difficult to achieve with DIY battery-operated detectors.
How often do I need to replace my smoke detectors?
Smoke detectors generally need to be replaced every ten years to ensure they remain functional. Over time, sensors can degrade, leading to reduced responsiveness. If your smoke detectors are more than ten years old, it’s a good idea to replace them to maintain optimal safety for your home.
What are the benefits of installing hardwired smoke detectors?
Hardwired smoke detectors are more reliable than battery-operated ones because they are directly connected to your home’s electrical system. They often come with battery backup for additional safety and can be interconnected, ensuring that if one detector triggers an alarm, all of them will sound, providing more comprehensive alert coverage throughout your home.
What are the signs that I need to replace my smoke detectors?
You should replace your smoke detectors if they do not respond to testing, continue to chirp even after changing the battery, have yellowed casing, have been recalled, or are over ten years old. Additionally, if your smoke detector sounds an alarm when it shouldn’t, it may be malfunctioning and require replacement.
Where should smoke detectors be installed in my home?
Smoke detectors should be installed in every bedroom, outside each sleeping area, and on every level of the home, including the basement. Our technicians are knowledgeable about where to place detectors for maximum effectiveness, ensuring that your family is alerted promptly in case of a fire or smoke.
