    4 Benefits of Smoke & CO Detection in Your Home

    Decreased Risk Of Fire Damage

    You can avoid damage to your property by installing a reliable smoke detector in your property. With a smoke detector, you can respond promptly to a fire outbreak and put it off before it gets out of control.

    Remote Control

    A central monitoring system will alert you of a problem in your home even when you’re not there or when the security alarm is not activated. The system will contact you, ensure that everything is safe, and contact first responders immediately.

    Makes Your Household Safer

    Having a reliable smoke detector installed in your home or business means the difference between getting out safely and getting injured or a fatal accident. Smoke detectors sound an alarm whenever there’s a fire threat on your property, newer models will alert your phone.

    Early Warningsof Carbon Monoxide Levels

    CO detectors can detect trace amounts of gas. They are also loud. The piercing alarm can be heard throughout a home and can wake anyone sleeping. If carbon monoxide levels increase, the alarm can provide ample warning and give everyone enough time to escape.

    CO Detector & Smoke Detector FAQ

    WHERE SHOULD I INSTALL SMOKE ALARMS?

    According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), smoke detectors should be installed on every level of your home, every bedroom, and outside every sleeping area. To help avoid nuisance alarms, smoke detectors should be installed at least ten ft. away from cooking appliances. When installing a smoke alarm, place the detector on the ceiling or high on the wall. This will allow for the best result as smoke rises. When installing a smoke alarm high on the wall, it should not be placed more than 12 in. from the ceiling. You’ll also want to avoid installing smoke detectors near windows or air ducts, which could interfere with their performance.

    WHY DOES MY SMOKE ALARM RANDOMLY CHIRP?

    A low battery can be responsible as the smoke detector alerts you that it’s time for a replacement. It can also be caused by batteries being placed incorrectly in the alarm. Another common reason is when the battery drawer is left slightly open. Similarly, a battery pull-tab that’s still in place can be causing the disruption. The chirping can also be caused by pressing the silence button by mistake. This will cause your smoke alarm to chirp once a minute for up to 15 minutes before resetting.

    HOW OFTEN SHOULD I REPLACE MY SMOKE ALARMS?

    Smoke alarms should be replaced every ten years. Every smoke alarm in your home has an expiration date. It’s something that all homeowners should be aware of, as smoke and fire protection is only available with an active alarm. If you’re unsure of the time remaining on your smoke alarm, there’s an easy way to check its viability. Most smoke detectors will feature a manufacturer date printed on the back of the alarm. If it’s more than ten years old, it’s time to replace the smoke detector. The same applies to carbon monoxide alarms. It should be noted that most CO alarms expire after seven years.
