Fire Alarm Servicing
Fire alarms are crucial for protecting lives and property, providing an early warning system in the event of a fire. Statistics indicate that the risk of fatality is over twice as high in homes without working smoke alarms compared to those with fully functional devices. Ensure the safety of your home, business, or residential space by guaranteeing your fire alarm system is correctly installed and regularly maintained.
When Does Your Fire Alarm Need Attention?
Although fire alarms typically last up to 10 years, faults can occur due to unforeseen circumstances. It’s important to act quickly to ensure the system continues to function reliably. Common causes of fire alarm failures include:
- Expired or depleted batteries (responsible for 25% of alarm failures).
- Dust build-up affecting the sensor.
- Water damage impacting the device.
- Loose or disconnected wiring.
- False alarms triggered in the absence of smoke or fire.
- Electrical grounding issues.
- Physical damage to the unit.
If you notice any of these problems, don’t delay in addressing them to ensure maximum safety.
