Smoke Detector Installation

According to the National Fire Protection Association, you should replace your smoke detectors at least every 10 years. However, you should also regularly test and inspect your smoke detectors. If you find any indication that the smoke detectors in your home are not working properly, call Damyans Electric right away to schedule an inspection. 
   

What kind of smoke detector should I install?

Smoke detectors come in two main varieties:

1. Battery-Operated.  These smoke detectors are individual units, which means they will alarm independently in the presence of smoke. Since they run on batteries, you should check the battery life at least every six months, or up to 10 years with lithium style batteries.
2. Wired. If you install wired smoke detectors in your home, they will alarm in unison if just one detects smoke. This system provides added safety, as the whole house is alerted to the possible fire. Also, these smoke detectors come with backup battery power in the case of a power outage.

If you want information on which style of smoke detector you should install in your home, call the licensed technicians at Damyans Electric.
