Hardwired smoke detectors are the more dependable option since they are connected to a constant power supply and have batteries as a backup. They are also interconnected, meaning that when smoke is detected, all alarms will sound, which is not the case with battery-operated smoke alarms. Battery-operated smoke alarms require regular battery changes, and weak batteries may affect the functioning of the alarm.
Smoke alarms typically don’t come with an expiry date, but they will likely have a manufacturer’s date printed on them. Generally, smoke alarms should be replaced every ten years from the manufacturer’s date as the sensitivity to detect smoke lessens as time passes. If your smoke alarm has built-in carbon monoxide detection, we recommend replacement within five to seven years.
Importance of Fire Alarms
A fire alarm system consists of central control and indicating equipment with detectors, manual call points, and sounders connected to it. If smoke or heat is detected or someone breaks the glass unit, an alarm sounder would warn the building occupants to evacuate. Correctly maintained fire alarm systems are useful and life-saving devices.
Signs Your Alarm System May Need Repair
Because batteries die and systems will show some wear and tear over time, you should test your fire alarm system at least once a month and replace batteries twice yearly. There are sometimes warning signs that your fire alarm may require a repair or replacement. Watch for:
Abnormal lights or sounds from the fire alarm system (short beeps)
Noticeable damages to your fire alarm system
False alarms or frequent activations
