Smoke Alarm Installation
Having a smoke alarm can make all the difference between escaping unharmed or getting trapped inside. Sparky Near You’s professional electricians install a high-quality smoke alarm system in your home to ensure that you and your loved ones are safe.
Why do we need Smoke Alarms?
Inhaling toxic fire-gases is deadlier and likelier than getting harmed directly by contacting flames. Smoke alarms can help you detect smoke promptly and you are more likely to survive the tragedy.
Smoke also causes intense irritation to the eyes, obscuring vision. A combination of this and the poisons in the smoke, such as Carbon monoxide, can cause a victim to become disoriented, impairing judgement and creating panic. It becomes difficult to escape once you are enveloped by the smoke.
Where to Install Smoke Alarms?
It’s recommended to install smoke alarms in all bedrooms and living spaces, including hallways and stairways.
Avoid installing smoke alarms near the kitchen or bathroom. Place it between the living and sleeping areas ideally.
Smoke Alarms Installation
Our top priority is ensuring the safety of what matters you the most – your family, business, and assets. Our qualified and professional electricians ensure proper and safe installation of smoke alarms.
Selection of Location
The ideal location for a smoke alarm detector is on the ceiling. Our electricians identify and install the smoke alarms at appropriate locations.
Installation of Remodelling Boxes
The wiring for a new alarm requires a remodelling box. Electrical boxes usually fit into drywall as remodelling boxes. Smoke detector wiring begins with this step.
Install the Cables into the Boxes
Run the cables from a housebreaker panel to the smoke detector panel. In the remodelling box, you must pull out 10 inches of NM cable. In this way, we will ensure that cables are installed into the remodelling boxes where remodelling box knockouts are attached to the cables.
Attaching the Smoke Detector (Mounting Plate)
Make sure the connection is secure on all sides. It's now time to replace a smoke detector. Our professional will connect the NM (Non Metallic) cable to the Beaker panel and twist the alarm until it locks in place.
Type of Smoke Alarm
Smoke alarms can be hard-wired or battery-powered. The hard-wired smoke alarms connect directly to the AC circuit. Smoke alarms come with a hush feature that temporarily silences them.
Smoke alarms that run on batteries are standalone devices that don't require electrical wiring. Ten years is the maximum battery life for lithium-ion models.
Secure Boxes
Securing the boxes process is below.
1. Plug the wires into the remodelling box from the back.
2. Incorporate the remodelling box into the drywall hole.
3. Secure the box to the wall by screwing down the clamping tabs carefully.
4. Use a ground screw or the box's internal clamp to attach the copper wires (ground wires) to the remodelling box.
