Replacing or Installing Smoke Detectors

Simply put, functioning smoke detectors really do save lives. According to the National Fire Protection Association, approximately 1,450 fire deaths occur annually as a result of a home having no smoke detectors or faltering ones. Your family’s safety is too important to risk by not having properly installed smoke detectors. We want to restore your peace of mind by installing reliable smoke detectors which will detect the first hint of smoke. 

As electrical professionals and family men ourselves, we are devoted to outfitting your house or business properly in case of an emergency. If you are unsure about how well your smoke detectors function or if your home lacks smoke detectors, contact Gray Electric right away so we can safeguard your family and employees.

With your safety in mind, we work together with various Fire Alarm suppliers in the area to offer products that fit the needs of your project. Our qualified electricians will provide installation, programming, and testing of Fire Alarm systems and Rescue Assistance systems for all types of buildings.

Hard Wired Smoke Detectors

Hard-wired smoke detectors are designed to connect directly to the electrical system. They contain back-up batteries as an additional safety precaution but are powered by the main electrical circuit. So even if you forget to replace the batteries, the smoke alarm will continue to work. Some states now require hard-wired smoke detectors in new home builds. Your Gray Electric electrician will be able to tell you whether or not your home already uses this type of system.

Interconnected Smoke Detectors

Interconnected smoke detectors are another great option. These systems actually communicate with one another. When one alarm senses smoke or fire, all of the alarms will be activated— alerting everyone in the home to possible danger. These alarms will also tell you exactly where the smoke is being detected. They can either be interconnected wirelessly or via a hardwire installation.

Both the NFPA and Consumer Product Safety Commission have acknowledged that overall, interconnected smoke detectors tend to be safer. This, of course, is due to their ability to quickly alert all occupants to a potential fire hazard. This can be a critical piece of technology, especially when it comes to larger or multi-level homes.  If a fire starts in one area of the home, everyone will know that it is time to get out immediately!

Whether you choose to go with a hard-wired system or an interconnected system, your smoke detector installation should be completed by a qualified electrician. A professional will ensure that the job is done right the first time in accordance with State and local regulations and standards.
