Frequently Asked Questions

What Kind of Smoke Detectors Should I Choose?

Dual-sensor detectors that include both ionization and photoelectric technology offer strong protection. Hardwired units with battery backup are especially reliable. We’ll help you select models that work well with your home layout.

Different parts of your home may benefit from different detectors. For example, kitchen models should limit false alarms from cooking. Our team makes recommendations based on your home’s unique layout.

When Should I Replace Smoke Detectors?

Most smoke detectors need to be replaced every 10 years. As they age, their sensors lose accuracy. We also recommend testing units monthly and replacing batteries once a year. We can help with both replacements and regular maintenance.

We often recommend creating a reminder schedule so your smoke detectors stay up to date. Our team also offers inspection services to confirm everything is working correctly.

Where Should I Place Smoke Detectors?

Smoke detectors should go in every bedroom, just outside sleeping areas, and on every floor of the home—including the basement. Avoid areas near vents or windows where air currents can interfere with sensor accuracy. We handle placement with both code compliance and fire safety in mind.

By evaluating your home’s layout, we position detectors to give you the widest protection possible. Our placements follow national fire safety guidelines as well as Portage codes.

Can I Install Smoke Detectors Myself?

Battery-powered models are often simple to install. However, hardwired systems involve electrical work and should be handled by a professional. We install detectors correctly and confirm that each unit works before finishing the job.

Our team also performs sensor testing after installation. We simulate smoke conditions to confirm the detectors activate properly—something that’s hard to check without professional equipment.

What Should I Do if a Detector Goes Off?

First, check for fire or smoke. If there’s no fire, the detector may need cleaning or new batteries. If it keeps going off, we can inspect and fix any problems. Our team is ready to help with maintenance or replacements.

We explain how to tell the difference between low-battery warnings and real fire alerts. With this knowledge, you can respond more confidently and avoid unnecessary panic.
