Fire Alarm Servicing
A fire alarm is an essential safety device for your home that provides an early alert in the event of a fire. Research indicates that homes lacking functional smoke alarms have a death rate that is over twice as high compared to those equipped with working alarms. To safeguard yourself and your belongings, it is vital to have an operational fire alarm installed in your residence, business, or living area.
Indications That Your Fire Alarm Requires Repair
Quality fire alarms are engineered to last a minimum of 10 years, with manufacturers typically providing warranties for their products. Nevertheless, unforeseen issues may still occur, leading to your fire alarm(s) becoming defective or damaged. When this occurs, it is imperative to repair the fire alarm promptly to avoid jeopardizing your safety and property. Several factors can contribute to a fire alarm's malfunction.
- Dead batteries (25% of reported smoke alarm failures result from depleted batteries).
- Dust buildup inside the device.
- Water infiltration in the device.
- Loose wiring connections.
- The alarm triggers without any fire or smoke present.
- Grounding issues.
- Physical damage to the device.
Should You Repair or Replace?
If your fire alarm is older than ten years, it’s advisable to replace it instead of trying to repair it. Our fire protection experts at London Electrical & Fire will come to your location to assess the alarm and other systems to accurately determine the issue. If it can be repaired, we will provide an estimate and carry out the necessary fixes. However, if repair isn’t a viable option, we’ll suggest an appropriate replacement.
