Smoke detectors are easy to forget about until they start chirping, fail a test, or reach the end of their service life. Working smoke detectors are an important part of keeping a home safe and giving people more time to respond when it matters.
Kensington Home Maintenance provides smoke detector replacement for common residential smoke detectors and smoke/CO combination detectors. If a detector is old, yellowed, chirping, damaged, or no longer testing properly, replacing it is a simple safety update.
Smoke Detector Replacement for Home Safety
Smoke detectors do not last forever. Even if they still look fine from the outside, the sensing components can become less reliable with age. As a general guideline, smoke detectors should be replaced every 10 years, or sooner if they are chirping, failing tests, or showing signs of wear.
Common reasons to replace a smoke detector include:
- The detector is 10 years old or older
- It chirps even after the battery has been changed
- It does not respond properly when tested
- It is yellowed, damaged, or outdated
- You want to replace older detectors with combination smoke/CO units
- You are updating several detectors around the home at the same time
