Smoke Detector Maintenance

Too often, smoke detectors are neglected or assumed to be working because the test button makes a beep. But that button only tests the electronics—not the actual smoke sensor. Our detailed maintenance ensures every part of your smoke detector is doing its job.

​

✅ Battery Replacement

We replace the batteries in every unit using high-quality, long-lasting batteries. Even if yours are still working, old batteries can leak or fail without warning. It’s just not worth the risk.

​

✅ Canned Smoke Testing

We go beyond the button test. Using canned smoke, we simulate real smoke conditions to confirm that your detector’s sensor is responsive. This is the same method used by professionals in fire prevention and commercial property inspections.

​

✅ Detector Placement Review

Smoke detectors must be installed in key areas to provide maximum protection. We’ll inspect current locations and make recommendations if additional units are needed—especially near kitchens, bedrooms, hallways, and utility areas.

​

✅ Unit Age Check

Most smoke detectors should be replaced every 8–10 years, even if they seem to be working. We’ll check the manufacturing date on your units and let you know if it's time for a replacement.

​

✅ Interconnected Systems

If your home has a system where smoke detectors are wired to communicate with each other, we’ll make sure interconnectivity is functioning properly, so that one alarm triggers all others in the event of danger.
