Smoke Detector Replacement
When was the last time you replaced smoke detectors in your home? If it has been over a decade, it might be time for new ones. The average lifespan of carbon monoxide detectors is usually 8-10 years with proper care. Once they exceed this range, they become less sensitive and inefficient. Fortunately, there are telltale signs you can look out for, ensuring you schedule timely smoke detector replacement services. At Q Electric, we understand the peace of mind a functioning system provides, and address underlying issues quickly to keep your home safe. Here are some of the indicators you need a smoke detector replacement.
Age Of The Smoke Detector
As stated, smoke detectors usually have a lifespan of 8–10 years. Over time, the internal sensors become less sensitive, which compromises their ability to detect smoke or carbon monoxide effectively. If you can’t recall when you installed your detectors, check the manufacturing date printed on the back of the unit. A unit that’s older than a decade requires an upgrade to ensure optimal functionality. Even if your system functions as expected, age can affect efficiency, causing malfunctions and recurring smoke detector repair services.
