  • Do you know if the right areas around your home have smoke detectors installed? Have you verified that these detectors work properly? Mr. Electric of Houston Midtown is always happy to help you safeguard your property by inspecting, installing, and replacing these vital devices. If you’re unsure if your smoke detectors are where you need them and functioning correctly, we recommend checking them with the following steps:

    • Test all your detectors at least monthly.
    • Each bedroom in your home must have a smoke detector outside the door.
    • Install connected monitors to ensure they all alert you if smoke activates one of them.
    • If people on your property have hearing issues, install detectors with strobe lights to alert them.
    • Verify that your property has the appropriate number of devices.
    • Have at least one device on each floor of your home or building.
    • Cautiously install smoke detectors near your kitchen since cooking smoke can set them off and cause a false alarm.
    • Always have an electrician install your smoke detectors and test their performance to ensure they function correctly.

How to Tell When You Need a Smoke Detector Replacement

The only way to ensure your family is safe from fires is to have properly working smoke detectors in mind. With this in mind, you must always replace your smoke detectors before they stop working entirely. According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), smoke detectors should be replaced every 10 years. Furthermore, if you keep experiencing false alarms from your smoke detectors, there’s probably an issue with the sensor. An electrician can inspect your devices to verify their age or check their sensors, and we’ll gladly replace them whenever they meet the replacement criteria.

Essential Facts About Testing Your Detectors

It’s essential to test your smoke detectors regularly for your home or building’s safety and the welfare of its occupants. Mr. Electric of Houston Midtown has a few crucial tips for you to follow whenever you test your smoke detectors:

Spread the Word

Always ensure all people in your home or building are aware of the test before you carry it out.

Test the Alarm

You can trigger the alarm by pressing the test button. The device should produce a high-pitched sound to alert you. We also recommend replacing the batteries in your detectors and removing dust and debris. Replacing the batteries is especially prudent if nobody has changed them within the last six months.

Check the Hearing Distance

While testing a detector, have someone in your household or building position themselves at the farthest point away from it. This position lets the person verify if they can hear the alarm throughout the whole house and if you need to have an electrician install more devices.
