Customer Spotlight: Exceptional Service & Peace of Mind
Our customers trust us to keep their homes safe and their systems up to date. Here is what one homeowner had to say about their recent installation:
"I had 5 smoke detectors & 2 smoke detector carbon monoxide combo units installed this morning. Reason for service was I had 1 chirping. I have 9 foot ceilings & don't chance getting on ladder. Brian arrived ontime & explained the unit I had was outdated & basically went bad - it wasn't just a bad battery. The old units have 10 year life span if that. He told me about the new units that don't require batteries & I won't have to worry about maintenance for about 10 years. I thought why wait until others go bad & wake me up in middle of night! So I was thrilled he told me about these so he had them & installed this morning! Outstanding customer service & onsite service. Great communication, on time, professional & friendly too! Excellent service! I know who to call in future. Thank you Brian and AAA Home Services!"
Important Smoke Alarm Facts & Safety Tips
According to the
National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), the risk of dying in reported home structure fires is 55% lower in homes with working smoke alarms. To keep your household safe, keep these facts in mind:
Optimal Placement for Protection
- Every Level: Install smoke alarms on every level of the home, including the basement.
- Sleeping Areas: Alarms should be installed inside every bedroom and outside each separate sleeping area.
- Interconnection is Key: For the best protection, all smoke alarms should be interconnected. When one smoke alarm sounds, they all sound.
- High Ground: Since smoke rises, alarms should be installed high on walls or on the ceiling. If mounting on a wall, keep them within 12 inches of the ceiling.
Maintenance and Replacement
- The 10-Year Rule: Smoke alarms should be replaced every 10 years. If your units are older than a decade, they may not function reliably in an emergency.
- Monthly Testing: Test your smoke alarms at least once a month by pressing the test button.
- Avoid False Alarms: To minimize "nuisance" alarms, smoke detectors should be installed at least 10 feet (3 meters) from cooking appliances.
