Importance of smoke detectors
If you don’t know much about smoke detectors, then you’re in the right place since it’s our expertise here at Mr. Switch Electrical Service..
Smoke alarm placement in home
Locate the areas where you should install smoke alarms. Don’t choose a place near a window or doorway, ceiling fan, or air conditioner, as the smoke will easily escape the smoke alarms. It is recommended to place smoke alarms inside bedrooms, in passages or blocked corners.
Smoke alarm placement on ceiling
As we all know, smoke always rises high. Accordingly, the alarms should be mounted on the ceiling. If somehow ceiling installation of the smoke alarms is not possible, then it is best to affix them to the top part of the wall. Try not to install it too close to the joint between the wall and ceiling or similar dead air spaces.
Photoelectric Smoke Alarms
Photoelectric smoke detectors function with light, and trigger an alarm whenever they feel a lack of light from the source. This technology allows it to detect smoke coming from a mattress on fire or any such slightly burning object. This is why photoelectric smoke alarms should not be placed in the kitchen or dining room where it can catch the smoke from cooking food or perhaps the heat of the fireplace and trigger the alarm instantly.
