Different Types of Smoke Detectors Snyder Air Conditioning, Plumbing & Electric Can Install In Your Jacksonville, FL Home

When installing smoke detectors in your Jacksonville, FL home, you will want to choose the best type of detector for you and your family’s needs. Smoke detectors vary in both their sources of power and their method of smoke detection. Each type of smoke detector has its benefits and downsides, depending on what the homeowner is looking for.There are two main types of smoke detectors that differ in their power sources:

  • Hardwired Smoke Detectors

    A hardwired smoke detector draws its power from your Jacksonville, FL home’s electrical grid during normal usage, and also has backup battery power in the event of a power outage. These batteries rarely run out, but require frequent tests to ensure that they don’t need to be replaced. Hardwired smoke detectors tend to be favored due to their ability to communicate with the other smoke detectors in the household. If one were to detect smoke in the basement, the other smoke detectors would also sound the alarm, providing your family with more time to get out of the house or put out the fire.

  • Ionization

    These smoke detectors have a continuous current running between two electrodes, and when this current is interrupted by smoke, the alarm sounds. Ionization detectors respond more quickly to flaming fires, but they tend to sound off false alarms if they are placed too close to kitchen appliances or showers, where steam may trigger the alarm.

  • Battery-Powered Smoke Detectors

    These smoke detectors are powered solely by batteries, which need to be tested and replaced regularly. Most battery-powered detectors aren’t connected to a network and will only sound an alarm when directly exposed to smoke or flames. Battery-powered smoke detectors have simpler installation than hardwired smoke detectors, and can be placed anywhere in a home without too much effort.

  • Photoelectric

    This type of detector works by using a small LED light and a light sensor. When the air is clear of smoke, the LED light can shine straight ahead and the light sensor doesn’t detect it, but in a smoky room, the LED light will be scattered, and the sensor will sound the alarm. Photoelectric detectors respond more quickly to smoldering fires that produce a lot of smoke.

Neither type of smoke detection is better than the other, and the experts at Snyder Air Conditioning, Plumbing & Electric may recommend using a combination of ionization and photoelectric in your home for optimal smoke detection. Regardless of the type of smoke detector you have installed in your Jacksonville, FL home, you need to test them on a regular basis to ensure that they are in good working condition.

Why Having Snyder Air Conditioning, Plumbing & Electric Install Smoke and CO Detectors in Your Jacksonville, FL Home is Important

Without proper detection systems in place, smoke and carbon monoxide can lead to devastating consequences. Properly functioning smoke detectors can provide you and your family with valuable time to either vacate your Jacksonville, FL home or put out a potential fire. Most local laws require smoke detectors to be installed in every building that humans inhabit, and for good reason! You can avoid burns, smoke inhalation, other fire-related injuries, or even death with Snyder Air Conditioning, Plumbing & Electric properly installing and maintaining your smoke detectors.

Carbon monoxide detectors are just as important as smoke detectors. Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colorless, tasteless, odorless gas, making it impossible for humans to detect without assistance from a carbon monoxide detector. It can be deadly for anyone living in a building with a carbon monoxide leak, as they may die as a result of carbon monoxide poisoning. It’s important to have carbon monoxide detectors installed throughout your Jacksonville, FL home, so any potential hazards are detected right away. You should also be aware of the symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning:

  • Dizziness
  • Headache
  • Nausea
  • Light-headedness
  • Sleepiness
  • Fatigue or weakness
  • Irregular breathing
  • Vomiting
  • Shortness of breath
  • Confusion
  • Chest pain

If you or your family experience any of the above symptoms, or feel like they have the flu without a fever, leave your home immediately and call emergency services.

Are you ready to ensure the safety of you and your family? Contact the professionals at Snyder Air Conditioning, Plumbing & Electric today to install or replace your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors by calling (904) 478-8976.

Opt for Snyder Air Conditioning, Plumbing & Electric Installed Carbon Monoxide Detectors Instead of Plug-ins

Carbon monoxide detectors come in different models, just like smoke detectors. One common model is a plug-in carbon monoxide detector that fits into the electrical outlets of your Jacksonville, FL home, which can be found in many stores and pharmacies. Although these models are convenient, they are not the safest choice for your family. Most standard electrical outlets are near the floor, which makes them inadequate when it comes to CO detection. Carbon monoxide, like most gasses, rises to fill the room that it is in, meaning that carbon monoxide detectors near the floor may not detect higher levels of CO until it is too late.

Just like smoke detectors, Snyder Air Conditioning, Plumbing & Electric can install either battery-powered or hardwired carbon monoxide detectors on the walls of your home, where they will be more effective at keeping you and your family safe. Some Jacksonville, FL homeowners even choose to install combination smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, so that they will be prepared for either a fire or carbon monoxide leak at all times.

Can I install my own smoke and carbon monoxide detectors?

Although many stores sell smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors, it is best to have a certified electrician install smoke detectors in your home. Having a Snyder Air Conditioning, Plumbing & Electric professional install your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors will ensure everything is done correctly and up to code. You can probably replace battery-powered detectors on your own, but you should call the professionals at Snyder Air Conditioning, Plumbing & Electric to replace hardwired ones. Unsure of which type of detector you have? Give us a call at (904) 478-8976!

How long do smoke and carbon monoxide detectors last?

A battery-powered smoke detector or a hardwired smoke detector can last up to 10 years, at which time you should replace the whole unit. Carbon monoxide detectors typically last between five and seven years. Consult your manufacturer’s manual to determine the recommendation for your specific models.

How many smoke and carbon monoxide detectors does my Jacksonville, FL home need?

Snyder Air Conditioning, Plumbing & Electric recommends having at least one smoke and carbon monoxide detector on every level of the home—including basements—as well as one in every bedroom, and outside of each sleeping area. Larger homes may need extra detectors.

Customer Reviews

Couldn’t have been better.

-Kay Thomas

After a bit of miscommunication with the dispatcher yesterday, a manager was awesome enough to clear it up and get me a same-day appointment. The technician called me first and let me know he would be arriving in about 25 minutes. He arrived on time Which I really appreciate because I have four dogs that I need to have contained and away from all work areas so it takes me a little bit to wrangle everybody up and put them in a room that isn’t being used. He was very polite, respectful, and even though he was professional and knowledgeable, he spoke to me in “Laymans terms”that I was able to understand what exactly was going on and the possible cause of my problem. After telling me what was wrong, he explained what he needed to do to fix it and how much it was gonna cost. He was to the point and got to work quickly and finished the job quickly. I would trust him again with my repairs and maintenance.
