Will You Know If A Fire Breaks Out In Your Home?

Smoke Detectors have saved thousands of lives. Though often ignored, smoke detectors are one of most important appliances in your home. Having smoke detectors installed correctly can truly be a matter of “life and death.” For this reason, modern building standards require smoke detectors throughout the house. For residential homes in Georgia, smoke detectors are required in every bedroom, hallway, and basement.

What Our Customers Say

Our electrician was knowledgeable, friendly, on-time, clean work area, and reasonably priced. Brought several indoor and outdoor outlets up to code and brought our smoke detector system up to code for home sale. Wouldn't hesitate to call them again.

Smoke Detector Installation

I worked with Phil (initial estimate) and Jose (completed work and final walkthrough) to get my electrical panel replaced, replace and rewire all outlets and light switches in my home, installed outlets/switches in new locations, upgraded my dryer outlet to a 4-prong, and replaced and wired all smoke detectors. This was a hefty job, and the pricing was reasonable for the quality of work and customer service received. With safety as my primary concern, Phil patiently walked me through the electrical issues in my home and helped me understand the amount of work needed for the repairs. Jose completed the work on schedule, kindly kept me informed throughout the process, and made sure to answer all of my questions. The quality of his work was impeccable, and he only cut minimal holes in the drywall when needed in inconspicuous spots, always covering them up with a plate to avoid leaving an open hole. He always left his work area clean and wore shoe covers in the house. I’d definitely work with this company again for my future electrical needs. Highly recommend!

Smoke Detector Installation Outlet and Light Installation

Wayne did a great job replacing all of our smoke detectors for us - they were all over 10 years old, battery operated and were not up to code. He had to add electrical wiring and do a ton of work to get everything done but he did it in one day with a positive attitude and very little inconvenience to us. He was professional and polite and clearly knows what he is doing. I have peace of mind now that everything is working great!

Is Your Home Protected?

The most important safety feature of modern smoke detectors is that they are linked together so that when one goes off, they all go off. This means a fire in the basement will sound all of the smoke alarms upstairs.

Many homes were built before this method became standard and only have stand-alone battery-powered smoke detectors. Unfortunately, a smoke detector is only effective if someone hears it.

In addition to being looped together, modern smoke detectors are tied into your home’s electrical system rather than just running on batteries all the time. They still contain 9-volt batteries, but only for use during power outages. This significantly increases the life of the smoke detector and the odds that the detector will work when you need it. Smoke detectors work mainly through photoelectric sensors or ionization.

Both methods detect smoke through sensors located inside the unit. Excess dirt and dust can ruin smoke detectors, so it is important to keep them clean. Also, we recommend having your smoke detectors checked regularly.

If the detector is damaged, dirty, or more than ten years old, it should be replaced.

Are my smoke detectors linked?

To check if your smoke detectors are linked, press the test button on one unit and listen for whether the others sound too — if they all go off together, your home has interconnected protection. Interconnection is important because, as fire safety standards from the National Fire Protection Association note, all alarms should sound simultaneously when any one detects smoke, so a fire in the basement can still wake people sleeping upstairs. Many older Atlanta area homes only have stand-alone battery units that won't trigger each other. If your test shows they're not linked, we can install hardwired, interconnected smoke detectors throughout your home
