Smoke detectors can save lives, as long as they are properly installed by a licensed electrician in Los Angeles. Apart from being properly installed, they must also be maintained. With a working smoke detector, it can lower the number of fire deaths and injuries. As soon as there is a fire in your home, smoke can spread quickly. With smoke detectors, they will warn you so you will have time to get out of your house or building.
An Electrician in Los Angeles Can Enhance the Safety of Your Home
Installation and repair of smoke detectors can reduce the casualties in accidents related to fire by more than half. However, you must hire a professional, licensed electrician to install or repair it.
When it comes to choosing the best smoke detector, our team at USA Repairs, Inc. will recommend the most suitable detector. It is a vital step. Our team has in-depth knowledge about the types of smoke detectors that you need and the number of detectors that your house requires.
This detector must be properly installed ASAP to avoid the risk of living in a place with a high risk of fire accidents. If you have a smoke detector in your house but it is older than 10 years old, you might need to have it repaired or inspected. In most cases, a smoke detector must be replaced if it is over 10 years old.
Apart from installation and repair, we also maintain your smoke detector. We will test it regularly to ensure that it will emit a sound when it detects smoke. Our team can offer you a maintenance schedule to ensure that this device will work as expected all the time.
Some smoke detectors have a self-testing feature. However, we do recommend that you test it manually. Most detectors have a test button. Push it to ensure that it is working well.
Do not lower the volume of the alarm. Instead, ensure that it is at the maximum volume so that those individuals living outside your house can also hear it.
Leave it to our Pros!
If you do not want to test the smoke detector on your own, you may contact our electricians to have it tested for you. We offer smoke detector installation, testing, replacement, and repair.
We recommend installing it in every sleeping room. And make sure that the room outside the sleeping area has an alarm as well. Each level of your house must have a smoke detector. And every detector in your house must be interconnected. In that case, when it sounds, every detector will alarm.
As for testing, it is recommended you do it once a month. The good thing is that most new smoke detectors are so advanced that they can easily respond to several fire conditions while mitigating false alarms.
As mentioned earlier, if the detector is more than 10 years old, you must replace it or have it repaired. Our electrician in Los Angeles will test it out and may recommend either replacement or repair. Call us today to schedule an appointment: (800) 708-2190.
