FAQ
The National Fire Protection Association recommends testing smoke detectors every month. There are two simple tests you can run yourself, and they will work the same for any type of smoke detector.
Here’s how to do it:
- Push the Test button on the smoke detector to see if the alarm sounds. This will let you know if the battery is working or if the electrical power is connected. If the alarm does not sound on a hardwired smoke detector, contact Mr. Electric right away to investigate the cause.
- Place a lit match or candle six inches below the smoke detector to see if the alarm will sound. If the alarm does not sound, blow out the candle or match and see if the smoke sets it off. If the smoke detector alarm is still not triggered, then you may need to have the unit replaced. Remember—just because the smoke detector has power does not mean the device is working. Be sure to check them both!
Remember to replace the batteries in each of your smoke alarms at least once every year.
In general, smoke detectors last about ten years. If your smoke detectors are approaching that age (or have already surpassed it), it’s time to have them replaced.
Several conditions can cause a hardwired smoke detector to chirp. Inspect your smoke detectors for signs of the following problems:
- The backup battery may be dying. Replace smoke detector batteries at least once every year.
- The backup battery may not be installed correctly. Check the terminal connections and make sure the battery tray is completely closed.
- Dust can accumulate around the smoke sensor, causing a false alarm. Insects inside the unit have also been known to trigger the chirp. Use a vacuum brush attachment to clean out the device.
- A high temperature or humidity level in the home can trigger the sensor. Turn on the air conditioner to bring those levels down.
- The hardwired smoke detectors might need to be reset. Turn off the appropriate circuit breaker, wait five minutes, and then flip the breaker back on.
- There could be a problem with the wiring that causes an irregular power supply to the unit. This is a troubleshooting job for a licensed electrician, like Mr. Electric.
- If the smoke detector is ten years old or more, it is probably failing and should be replaced by Mr. Electric.
