Why do my alarms 'go off' when there is no smoke present?
This is the main question we always get asked, and we totally understand the frustration a nuisance smoke alarm can be, especial at 2am in the morning!!! BUGS & INSECTS! Over many years of working with smoke detectors in Queensland, we see this all too often. Attending a nuisance smoke alarm service call will usually mean a contaminated alarm. We often find smoke detectors riddled with insects, bugs and dust, and it is obvious that this is the main cause for false alarms. Regular cleaning with the vacuum can mitigate against the build-up of any dust or insects that may have found their way into the smoke alarms When our electricians install new smoke alarms, we ensure insect surface spray is applied to the surfaces beneath and surrounding the alarm location, preventing any bug or insect migration into the alarm in the short term. We always highly recommend that all of our customers engage the services of a professional pest control company and have regular treatments completed on the property help keep insects and bugs at bay. What is a photoelectric smoke alarm?
Photoelectric smoke alarms respond faster to most fire types than ionisation smoke alarms, can detect smoldering fires and are less likely to react to a false alarm. Why do they need to be interconnected?
Interconnected smoke alarms installed in bedrooms give you and your family the best chance of escaping a fire unharmed. If one goes off, they all go off! In a fire, interconnected smoke alarms will all activate. This will warn you no matter where you are in the house. Interconnection with other alarms can be achieved by either a hardwired interconnect using cabling between the alarms, or by using a wireless frequency to provide a signal between each alarm. What are the current smoke alarm regulations?
