Protect Your Home with Expert Smoke Detector Installation in Tampa
Smoke and carbon monoxide detectors are not only a code requirement for many buildings in Tampa, but they are one of your best defenses against fire damage and injury. According to the National Fire Protection Agency, 59% of fire fatalities happened in homes without a smoke detector, or with a broken smoke detector.
Why is this figure so high?
Two key reasons:
- People often overlook the importance of smoke detectors if they don’t already have them and
- More often, people with smoke detectors fail to realize that they need replaced regularly and that a discolored smoke detector actually means it isn’t working anymore, not that the sun has damaged the casing
At Service Minds Mister Sparky, our Tampa, FL licensed electricians can handle a home safety inspection and make sure your smoke detector installation meets code, and keeps you safe.
It is important to note, too, that carbon dioxide detectors are mandatory for some types of buildings in Tampa, but smoke detectors are mandatory for all types of buildings.
Tips for Smoke Detector Installation in Tampa, FL
- According to the National Fire Protection Agency, smoke detectors must be replaced every five years.
- You also want battery backups in case the power goes out.
- Consider an interconnected system if you have multiple floors; these will trigger all of the smoke detectors when a single one goes off.
- Test your smoke detector every month by using the test button; if it fails, call Service Minds Mister Sparky in Tampa.
- Consider a dual smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector.
- Remember that Florida code requires smoke detectors be on every floor, in every bedroom, and in living spaces.
