We offer various types of smoke alarms, including photoelectric, which is better at detecting smoldering fires; ionization, which is more responsive to flaming fires; and dual-sensor smoke alarms that combine both technologies for comprehensive detection.

The number of smoke alarms required depends on the size and layout of your building. Generally, it is recommended to have at least one smoke alarm on every floor, in every bedroom, and in areas like the kitchen and living room.

Smoke alarms should be installed on ceilings or high on walls. Keep them at least 10 feet from cooking appliances to minimize false alarms and away from windows, doors, and ducts.

It is recommended to test smoke alarms at least once a month by pressing the test button. Replace batteries at least once a year unless they are 10-year batteries, and replace the smoke alarms themselves every 10 years.

Frequent false alarms can be caused by placing the smoke alarm too close to the kitchen or bathroom. Consider relocating the alarm to avoid steam and cooking fumes. If false alarms persist, the unit may need cleaning or may be malfunctioning and should be checked by a professional.

Yes, interconnecting smoke alarms is possible and means that when one alarm detects smoke, all connected alarms will sound. This is particularly beneficial in larger homes or buildings to ensure that everyone is alerted simultaneously, no matter where they are in the building.
