When to Call Tashlight Electric for Smoke Detector Issues?

Smoke detectors are your first line of defense in a fire emergency. However, they can’t function properly forever. Here are some situations where you should call Tashlight Electric for smoke detector issues:

• Non-functioning alarms: If your smoke detector doesn’t sound an alarm when you test it with the test button, even after replacing the batteries, it’s time to call a qualified electrician.
• False alarms: Frequent false alarms can be a nuisance and a safety concern. They might indicate a faulty detector or a problem with the wiring. Electricians can diagnose the cause and fix the issue.
• End-of-life detectors: Smoke detectors have a lifespan of around 10 years. After that, they may not function properly. Replace outdated detectors with new ones installed by a qualified electrician.
• Damaged detectors: If your smoke detector is physically damaged (cracked, melted, etc.), it needs to be replaced. Tashlight Electric can install a new one for you.
• Moving into a new home: Before moving into a new home, ensure all smoke detectors are functioning properly. If you’re unsure, call an electrician for a safety inspection.
• Renovations or construction: Renovations or construction can sometimes damage smoke detectors or wiring. Have your system inspected by an electrician after any significant changes to your property.

Smoke Detectors: Your First Line of Defense

Smoke detectors are essential for early fire detection. They sound an alarm when they sense smoke particles in the air, giving you precious time to evacuate and call emergency services. At Tashlight Electric, we install both:

• Ionization Smoke Detectors

These detectors are highly sensitive to flaming fires and work well in kitchens and laundry rooms.

• Photoelectric Smoke Detectors

These detectors are better at detecting smoldering fires, which are common in electrical fires. They are ideal for bedrooms and living areas.

We recommend installing a combination of both types of smoke detectors throughout your home or business for maximum protection.

Fire Alarm Systems: Comprehensive Fire Safety

Fire alarm systems go beyond smoke detection. These interconnected systems have various components, including smoke detectors, heat detectors, pull stations, and alarms. When one component detects a fire, the entire system activates, alerting everyone in the building and prompting immediate evacuation. Tashlight Electric installs various fire alarm systems, including:

• Conventional Fire Alarm Systems: These are cost-effective and ideal for smaller residential properties. They have a single control panel and all detectors are connected in a single circuit.
• Addressable Fire Alarm Systems: These offer a higher level of information and control. Each detector has a unique address, allowing the control panel to pinpoint the exact location of a fire source. This is ideal for larger commercial buildings where rapid response is crucial.
