Let Our Contractors Help Protect Your Family From Smoke & Fire
To safeguard your family in a fire, it’s crucial to have correctly positioned smoke detectors and perform regular checks. Smoke detectors should be strategically placed on each residence floor, in every bedroom, and within 15 feet of bedroom doors. For enhanced safety, remember to:
Press the “test” button on your smoke detector to check if it’s working properly. A high-pitched sound should indicate that it is functioning correctly. If you have already replaced the battery and no sound is heard, the smoke detector is likely defective, or there might be an issue with the connection. Our skilled electricians in Burlington are here to diagnose the problem and provide the optimal solution. Reach out to us for assistance.
