Smoke Alarms and Electrical Smoke Detector Installations – MWES

Michael White Electrical Services offering Smoke Alarm Installation with over 20 years of experience

Wired Smoke Alarms

One of the most important safety aspects of any property should be its mains wired smoke alarm system. After all, imagine there is a fire present and there is no way of alerting you until it’s too late? A high quality wired smoke alarm means there is no way that this risk is taken, as you are always safe in the knowledge that your hard wired smoke detector system is set up correctly.

In many cases, people try to install a hard wired smoke alarm for themselves, but if they are not fully trained in this area, mistakes can be made along the way. Is it really worth taking that chance when a company that specialise in smoke alarm installations – Michael White Electrical Services – is right on your doorstep?

When electrical smoke alarms are involved, it is important to make sure that they are installed carefully and correctly, as several hazards can appear during the process. This can include electrical shocks or falling from a height if you do not have the right equipment. At Michael White Electrical Services, we ensure that our trained and professional electricians are well skilled in installing wired smoke detectors in homes all over East and West Sussex, including Brighton, Hove, and surrounding areas.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often do smoke alarms need replacing?

Smoke alarms require minimal maintenance.

Simple things like testing them when the clocks fall back and spring forward, and using the soft brush attachment on your hoover to ensure the sensor is free from dust, could all help save you and your family’s lives should a fire break out.

It’s recommended that you replace the battery in your smoke alarm at least once a year – unless it’s a 10-year alarm. And after 10 years, you should consider having a new alarm system installed.

Why is my smoke alarm beeping or chirping?

There are several reasons why your smoke alarm might be making a noise.

For instance, it may be a case of the battery running out, alerting you that it’s time to swap it for a new one. Or it might be beeping because the batteries aren’t installed correctly, or the battery drawer has been left open slightly.

As soon as your smoke alarm system starts to chirp, reset it by pushing the button. If the problem persists – and you’re based in Portslade or nearby – don’t hesitate to contact our electricians here at Michael White Electrical Services.

What are the benefits of installing a hard-wired smoke alarm?

Hard-wired smoke alarms are simple to set up.

They run on batteries and plug into your home’s pre-existing system. This means that, as long as there’s electricity running in your home, the alarm will always alert you of fire.

Another great thing about hard-wired smoke detectors is that, if you have multiple alarms throughout your home, they will work together to maximise your safety. If one alarm goes off, every other one will too – saving valuable time in the event of a fire and allowing everyone to escape safely.

If you’d like to benefit from a hard-wired smoke alarm, don’t hesitate to get in touch. Our electricians have been installing such systems for customers in Brighton and beyond for more than 20 years. We will be more than happy to do the same for you!
