Selecting the Best Type of Smoke Detector for Your Hazlet, NJ, Home
There are three types of smoke detectors available: ionization, photoelectric, and dual-sensor systems.
Ionization smoke detectors: These can quickly respond to flaming fires. Smoke entering the ionization changer will set off the alarm by disrupting the flow of ions.
Photoelectric smoke detectors: These are designed to react best to smoldering fires. When light becomes reflected in the sensor (caused by the smoke), the alarm is triggered.
Dual-sensor smoke detectors: These utilize both ionization and photoelectric technology, offering greater protection in the event of a fire. It is the recommended choice for the majority of homes.
Testing and Maintaining Your Smoke Detector
In order to ensure the continued safe operation of your smoke detector, it’s recommended to have your device tested once a month. All that’s needed is to push the “test” button, and the alarm should go off. If it doesn’t, the batteries may need replacing. If you still fail to hear the alarm, there may be faulty wiring that will need a professional inspection. Our Hazlet, NJ, electricians can help.
Smoke detectors should also be replaced every ten years to ensure the continued safety of your home and uninterrupted protection.
