Indicators of a Faulty Alarm
Reliable alarms are vital for protecting lives and property. Knowing the warning signs can help you identify when smoke detectors in Perth are no longer functioning properly. Here are five signs to look for:
- Frequent Chirping: Constant beeping even after battery replacement suggests a fault.
- No Response: Pressing the test button fails to trigger the alarm.
- False Alarms: The detector activates without smoke or fire present.
- Discolouration: Yellowing or visible damage indicates ageing components.
- Expired Date: The unit has passed its recommended ten-year lifespan.
Recognising these signs ensures your detectors are replaced before they fail when needed most. Call us at Quik Fire Electrical today to upgrade and maintain dependable smoke detectors in Perth.
Frequently Asked Questions
How often should smoke detectors be tested?
Smoke detectors should be tested monthly by pressing the test button. This ensures the alarm is functioning correctly. Batteries should be replaced yearly unless fitted with a long-life unit. Regular testing guarantees detectors remain operational and provides peace of mind that they’ll activate when needed during a fire.
Where should smoke detectors be installed?
Detectors should be installed in hallways leading to bedrooms, on every level of a property, and near exit paths. Additional units may be needed in larger homes or buildings. Correct placement ensures occupants receive early warning no matter where they are, increasing safety during both day and night emergencies.
Are photoelectric smoke detectors better than ionisation models?
Photoelectric smoke detectors are generally preferred because they detect smouldering fires earlier and are less prone to nuisance alarms. Ionisation models respond better to fast-flaming fires but are being phased out in many regions. Several Australian states now legally require photoelectric detectors for improved safety and broader fire detection coverage.
