Why Should I Install 8th Edition Smoke Alarms?

In a home fire emergency, every second counts. Modern homes tend to be built and furnished with lighter, synthetic materials that burn hotter and faster. These homes also may feature layouts with higher ceilings and open floor plans. This may result in less time for a safe evacuation if a fire breaks out. Escape times have reduced from 10-15 minutes in the 1970’s to 1-2 minutes today (NFPA). 8^th edition smoke alarms are better at detecting fires in homes built and furnished with modern construction materials where fires can spread at a faster pace. Install 8^th edition smoke alarms and create an escape plan with your family to help be prepared.

What is the #1 Reason Why Smoke Alarms Are Disabled?

The #1 reason why people disable smoke alarms in their home is due to nuisance alarms caused by cooking or steam leaving them unprotected (NFPA). Almost 3 of every 5 home fire deaths result from fires with no smoke alarms or no working smoke alarms (NFPA) so it is important to install and maintain your home’s alarms. Installing 8^th edition alarms equipped with Precision Detection and following proper placement of at least 15 ft. away from cooking appliances will help reduce nuisance alarms.

Why Is My Smoke Alarm Beeping?

Smoke alarms can beep for to the following reasons:

Low Battery: This is the most common cause. Most smoke detectors use a chirping sound (usually a single beep every 30-60 seconds) to warn you that the batteries are running low and need to be replaced. Don't wait until the alarm is silent - replace the batteries right away to ensure your smoke alarm continues to function properly.

End of Life: Smoke alarms don't last forever. If your smoke detector is beeping constantly or in a different pattern than the low battery chirp, it may be nearing the end of its intended lifespan and should be replaced altogether.

The detector’s batteries should be replaced regularly and alarms themselves should be replaced at least every 10 years.
