CO Detector & Smoke Detector FAQ

WHERE SHOULD I INSTALL SMOKE ALARMS?

According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), smoke detectors should be installed on every level of your home, every bedroom, and outside every sleeping area. To help avoid nuisance alarms, smoke detectors should be installed at least ten ft. away from cooking appliances. When installing a smoke alarm, place the detector on the ceiling or high on the wall. This will allow for the best result as smoke rises. When installing a smoke alarm high on the wall, it should not be placed more than 12 in. from the ceiling. You’ll also want to avoid installing smoke detectors near windows or air ducts, which could interfere with their performance.

WHY DOES MY SMOKE ALARM RANDOMLY CHIRP?

A low battery can be responsible as the smoke detector alerts you that it’s time for a replacement. It can also be caused by batteries being placed incorrectly in the alarm. Another common reason is when the battery drawer is left slightly open. Similarly, a battery pull-tab that’s still in place can be causing the disruption. The chirping can also be caused by pressing the silence button by mistake. This will cause your smoke alarm to chirp once a minute for up to 15 minutes before resetting.

HOW OFTEN SHOULD I REPLACE MY SMOKE ALARMS?

Smoke alarms should be replaced every ten years. Every smoke alarm in your home has an expiration date. It’s something that all homeowners should be aware of, as smoke and fire protection is only available with an active alarm. If you’re unsure of the time remaining on your smoke alarm, there’s an easy way to check its viability. Most smoke detectors will feature a manufacturer date printed on the back of the alarm. If it’s more than ten years old, it’s time to replace the smoke detector. The same applies to carbon monoxide alarms. It should be noted that most CO alarms expire after seven years.
