HOW FIRE ALARMS WORK

Most fire alarms are designed to detect smoke when something inside your home starts to burn. They operate 24/7 and sound an alarm as soon as it detects any signs of fire. There are also fire alarms that operate by detecting temperature variations in the environment. These are often called heat sensors, and they are usually used alongside with other fire detecting systems. Many of these devices can be linked to home monitoring systems to notify you, fire fighters and monitoring stations in case of an emergency. This can greatly contribute to the overall security of your property.

CARBON MONOXIDE READERS

Different than fire and smoke alarms, carbon monoxide readers are not necessarily designed to protect your home against fire. These readers are built to detect alarming levels of carbon monoxide, which is a colourless, odourless, yet toxic gas that can be emitted by faulty fuel burning appliances, such as furnaces and fireplaces. To allow you to take prompt action and prevent intoxication, Guardian Security Solutions counts on effective and reliable carbon monoxide readers that will sound if excessive levels are detected. These devices can provide you with enhanced safety and peace of mind.

  • Why Is My Smoke Alarm Beeping Every Minute?
    It can be very irritating when your smoke alarm is beeping constantly. A smoke alarm chirping is meant to indicate a low battery. A battery-powered smoke alarm will chirp for at least 30 days before completely losing power. However, you’ll probably want to change the battery well before then. Meanwhile, some smoke alarms are powered by AC (alternating current). These alarms will beep incessantly until the battery is changed. A smoke alarm will have approved batteries listed on the back or in the user’s manual. If you change the batteries and it’s still chirping, there may be other causes.
  • How Often Should I Replace a Smoke Alarm?
    Smoke alarms don’t last forever. Every smoke alarm has an expiration date, after which it is less effective. In general, you should be replacing your smoke alarms every ten years. If you’re unsure of how much time is left on your smoke alarms, maybe you just moved into a house, there is an easy way to check. Most models will have the manufacturing date printed on the back. The same also applies to carbon monoxide alarms.

    If there is no smoke and you’ve changed the batteries and your alarm is still making noise, the problem may be one of the following: The sensor chamber or cover may be dirty or dusty. Your alarm may look clean, but dirt and grime can build up inside the cover, even in newly built homes. You should clean your alarm regularly with a vacuum and a soft brush attachment.

You can also be proactive about preventing this problem by spraying insect repellant around the smoke detector.
