Safety for you and your family
Smoke alarms are one of the most important safety devices in your home, but many people don’t realise they don’t last forever. In fact, most smoke alarms are designed to be replaced every 10 years. A good rule of thumb is to check the colour of the plastic casing — if it has started to yellow with age, the alarm is likely overdue for replacement and may not work properly when you need it most.
Modern smoke alarms have also come a long way. Newer options can interconnect throughout your home, meaning if one alarm goes off, they all sound to alert everyone in the house. There are also photoelectric alarms designed to reduce nuisance alarms from steam, helping avoid those frustrating false alarms when someone’s had a hot shower.
If you’re unsure about the age or condition of your smoke alarms, give us a call and book a free smoke alarm inspection. We’re more than happy to help and encourage you to reach out, as we want to make sure you and your home are safe.
