Smoke Detector FAQs: Your Safety Questions Answered
Smoke detectors are a vital part of any home’s safety plan. Here are some common questions we address:
The number of smoke detectors needed depends on the size and layout of your home. You should have at least one smoke detector on every level, including the basement and inside each bedroom. Our team can help you decide how many units you need and where they should be installed.
Ionization smoke detectors are generally more responsive to flaming fires, while photoelectric detectors are better at detecting smoldering fires. We recommend installing both types for comprehensive protection.
Smoke detectors should be replaced every ten years, even if they work fine. The sensors inside can degrade over time, reducing their effectiveness.
Most smoke detectors have a test button. Press and hold the button until the alarm sounds. It’s important to test your smoke detectors monthly to ensure they’re working properly.
