Smoke Detector Installation & Repair
When Was the Last Time You Tested Your Smoke Alarm?
A working smoke alarm is reliable fire detection mechanism in your home—yet, many homeowners neglect regular testing, putting their safety at risk. Only functioning smoke alarms save lives, and ensuring yours is in proper working order is a simple yet critical task.
Essential Smoke Alarm Maintenance
-
Testing: Press the TEST button on your smoke alarm to confirm it is operational. If the siren does not activate, the unit may be faulty and requires immediate attention.
-
Battery Replacement: A persistent chirping sound indicates a depleted battery—replace it without delay to maintain protection.
-
Regular Cleaning: Dust and debris can trigger false alarms or impair functionality. Gently clean your smoke alarm twice a year to ensure reliable operation.
