Smoke detectors should be replaced once every 8 to 10 years or sooner if there is any indication that the smoke detector is not working properly. If you are in need of new smoke detectors or aren’t sure if yours are functioning correctly, contact Streb Electric for assistance.
There are two main types of smoke detectors:
– Battery-operated smoke detectors are individual units that go off independently in the presence of smoke. These types of smoke detectors require battery changes at least once every 6 months for regular style batteries, or up to 10 years for lithium style batteries.
– Wired smoke detectors are connected units that will go off in unison when any one of the detectors is triggered. This alerts the whole house to the presence of a fire for improved safety. Battery backups are included in wired smoke detectors to ensure that they remain operational if the power goes out.
Wired smoke detectors must be installed by a professional electrician for best results, and the price will vary based upon the size and layout of your home. Streb Electric offers affordable smoke detector installation service in parts of Cuyahoga, Lake, and Geauga Counties and can provide you with a quote on the cost of a wired system.
Very satisfied with all aspects of this service. All expectations were exceeded. I can highly recommend Streb Electric.
This is the most professional electric company ever. I am incredibly pleased with every part of the activity, from scheduling, to professionalism, to providing the best results to every part of the experience. I will never use anyone else.
Great experience! Friendly when I called, upfront about how pricing works. Scheduled their electrician for the next day and they called when something opened up today!! Friendly technicians arrived, totally professional. Put on their booties as its a rainy day; very considerate. Ended up knocking out a couple of things while they were here and they had all the tools right with them. Wow was that easy!
