Types of Smoke Detectors

There are several types of smoke detectors available, and they all have different features and benefits. The type you choose to install in your home should depend on your living situation and your budget. 

Two types of smoke detectors you may want to consider are: 

• Battery-Operated Smoke Detectors: These detectors are very easy to install and are powered by a battery. These are a good choice for renters who may not want to deal with installing a wired smoke detector or for homeowners who want to install a smoke detector in a vacation home where it may not be in use most of the time. They may also be used for additions or renovations.
• Wired Smoke Detectors: These smoke detectors are powered by a building’s electrical system and have a much longer lifespan than battery-operated smoke detectors. They are a good choice for homes with children and pets since they are not a tripping hazard. Hardwired smoke detectors will also include battery backups, just in case there is a loss of power.

Smoke detectors should be installed and maintained by a licensed electrician. Improper installation can lead to smoke detectors that don’t work when you need them to or a potential safety hazard in your home. An electrician can ensure that your smoke detectors are installed correctly and meet all current code requirements.

Benefits of Replacing Old Smoke Detectors

Smoke detectors typically have a lifespan of up to 10 years. After 10 years, they are prone to malfunction. They can also decrease a home’s resale value. By replacing your old smoke detectors, you can ensure that your home is safer and more secure. You may want to consider upgrading to a newer model that has better features, such as silence mode, battery life, and dimming features to reduce the risk of false alarms.
