Smoke Detector Services in Framingham

Smoke detectors are an essential part of home safety. When a smoke detector is properly installed and working correctly, it can alert you to a small fire before it spreads, giving you time to get out of the building or protect some of your belongings. Linares Electric can install new smoke detectors for your home and ensure they are working correctly.

We can also replace your old smoke detectors if they are outdated or not working properly. Sometimes all a smoke detector needs is a new battery, and others have features that can alert you via your smartphone. Whatever your needs are, Linares Electric can install the perfect smoke detector to provide peace of mind.

Upgrade to a Modern Smoke Detector

In the past, smoke detectors were only designed to detect smoke from fires. Now, there are smoke detectors that can alert you if there is carbon monoxide and a variety of other safety issues, even when you are away from your home. With WiFi and remote capabilities, you can trust that your property is being monitored around the clock. 

Some of the types of smoke detectors we can install include, but are not limited to:

• Battery-operated smoke detectors
• Hard-wired smoke detectors
• Smoke detectors with carbon monoxide detectors
• Smoke/carbon monoxide detectors with voice evacuation system
• Duct smoke detectors
• Smoke detectors for commercial buildings

Protecting Your Home from Smoke & Fire

A smoke detector can help protect you and your loved ones from the devastating effects of a fire. Every year, thousands of homes are damaged due to cooking activities gone awry, malfunctioning heat sources or electrical elements, smoking, and other issues. Having the right smoke detector installed can alert you to the problem before it gets out of hand, giving you time to get safely out of the building and call 911. In many cases, early detection can even help save personal property, keepsakes, pets, and other invaluable and irreplaceable possessions.

Because the National Fire Protection Association estimates that almost two-thirds of home fire deaths are due to smoke inhalation before the fire is put out, it is especially important to ensure your smoke detectors are working correctly. If you ever change your batteries and your smoke detector still does not work, contact us immediately. We can inspect your smoke detector and determine if it needs to be replaced.

Smoke Detector Maintenance

In order to ensure your smoke detectors are working properly, you should test them once a month. First, make sure the batteries are not dead. Second, make sure the alarm is not silenced. Third, make sure the alarm is not malfunctioning. Finally, make sure the alarm is actually working. To do this, you should test each detector individually.

To test your smoke detector, you should:

• Change the batteries
• Make sure the alarm is not silenced
• Move the smoke detector around to different angles
• See if the alarm sounds in other parts of the house
• See if the smoke detector is functioning properly

If your smoke detector does not seem to be working, call us immediately at (508) 466-5528 or contact us online. We will work efficiently to ensure your safety.
