3 Signs You Need New Smoke Detectors
Do you know if your smoke alarms are working? Are you confident they’ve been placed in the correct areas of your home or business? Here are three common signs that you may need to update wiring, replace, or move your smoke detectors:
- Your smoke alarm has turned yellow: That yellow color isn’t due to age or dirt; older smoke alarms turn yellow because they contain bromine, a flame retardant that can turn alarms yellow over time. If your smoke alarm is yellow, that’s a reliable sign it’s past its prime. Most smoke alarms need to be replaced after 10 years.
- It chirps frequently: That little chirp can be challenging to find when you’re in a house or business with several smoke alarms! Chirps may indicate that your battery is low and needs replacing. However, if your alarm is chirping even after you’ve replaced your battery, it’s time to call us.
- Your alarm never goes off: Sometimes, we create smoky situations in the kitchen or fireplace and our smoke alarms go off when we don’t need them to. But if you’ve noticed that your smoke alarm remains silent when it should go off, it’s time for a professional to inspect it. (Note: A possible culprit for a silent smoke alarm is improper placement.) Our experts can inspect your smoke detectors and adjust their placement or replace them as needed.

Smoke Detector Wiring Can Be Complex
Greenville commercial properties are required to install a hardwired smoke detector on every floor. In new residential properties, smoke alarms must be AC-powered and interconnected. These are just two examples of complicated electrical work often involved in smoke detector replacement. When you need to replace, upgrade, rewire, or move smoke detectors in your home or business, you can trust the licensed and insured team at Roby Services to get the job done right.

Depending on the size of the building, commercial properties may require dozens of hard-wired alarms. Your home requires smoke detectors on every floor and in every bedroom. When you add up all the smoke detectors you need, the scope of work can feel overwhelming. This is why Roby Services specializes in professional smoke detector replacement and wiring.
