Replacing Faulty Smoke Alarms
If your smoke alarm constantly triggers without a reason, it could be faulty and should be checked immediately. A test button that doesn’t activate the alarm is another clear sign that something isn’t working properly.
If the LED light is dim or not working, that may indicate a fault. Chirping noises that continue even after changing the battery often suggest the unit needs replacing.
Smoke alarms also have a limited lifespan which is usually around 10 years. If your smoke alarm is out of date, it’s time for a new one. You can count on us to deliver prompt, non-disruptive service.
How often should smoke alarms be replaced?
Smoke alarms should be replaced every 10 years from the date of manufacture. Over time, internal sensors degrade, making the alarm less effective at detecting smoke. Even if the unit appears to function normally, it may not respond properly in an emergency once it passes the recommended replacement date.
Are hardwired smoke alarms better than battery-operated ones?
Hardwired smoke alarms offer greater reliability because they are connected to the home’s electrical system and usually include a battery backup. This setup ensures continuous operation, even during power outages. Many regulations now require hardwired alarms in new homes or renovations to enhance fire safety and interconnect multiple alarms.
