Smoke Alarms

Properly installed and maintained, smoke alarms are one of the best and least expensive ways to provide an early warning when a fire begins. Smoke alarms save lives, prevent injuries and minimize property damage by alerting residents early to a fire hazard.

There are two types of sensors available — Photoelectric and Ionization. Photoelectric Sensors detect smoldering, slow moving fires while Ionization Sensors detect fast moving fires with flames. Smoke Detectors that have both sensors are always a good choice to ensure maximum safety. Installers should check with local code officials to make sure you are in compliance with local regulations.
