How Can I Tell When to Replace a Smoke Detector?

To keep your family safe from fires, it’s essential to have fully functioning smoke detectors in your home. This means replacing them before they completely fail. The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) recommends replacing smoke detectors every 10 years. Additionally, if your smoke detectors frequently go off without cause, there may be a problem with the sensor. An electrician can examine your devices to determine their age or assess any sensor issues. Furthermore, our talented and friendly electricians are here to help replace them whenever they meet the criteria for replacement.

  • Regularly testing smoke detectors is vital to ensure the safety of your home or building and the well-being of everyone inside. At Mr. Electric of The Coastal Empire, we’ve put together some important reminders to keep in mind when checking your smoke detectors:

    Spread Awareness

    Make sure everyone in your home or building is informed before conducting the test.

    Test Your Alarm

    Press the test button to activate the alarm. A loud, high-pitched noise should sound as a warning. It’s also a good idea to clean the detectors by removing dust and replace the batteries regularly. If the batteries haven’t been changed in the past six months, it’s especially important to replace them now.

    Verify the Hearing Distance

    When checking a detector, ask someone in your home or building to stand at the farthest spot from it. This spot helps the person in that location confirm whether the alarm can be heard throughout the space and if additional devices might be needed, requiring an electrician's assistance.
