Frequently Asked Questions About Smoke Detector Services

Do I need to replace my smoke detectors?

Depending on what type of smoke detectors you have, you should expect them to last eight to 10 years before they need to be replaced. Some types of smoke detectors, such as combination smoke/carbon monoxide detectors, should be replaced sooner — as early as half that for some models, so make sure you look into the specifics of your device. Of course, if a smoke detector starts misbehaving consistently before that, you should replace it to make sure you’re safe and fully compliant with code.

How do I know what kind of smoke detector to get?

The type of smoke detector recommended will depend on what types of fires you can anticipate needing to detect. A good detector for a smoky, slower-burning fire without false positives might fail to detect more aggressive or low-smoke detectors in time — but the latter might prove unnecessarily susceptible to false positives in certain environments. You should look into recommendations on a room-by-room and situation-by-situation basis if you want truly accurate detector coverage.

How many smoke detectors should I have?

The number of smoke detectors you should have, or at least the bare minimum, can usually be determined by building and fire codes governing your property. It’s important to pay close attention to the fine details of such codes, as the rules can be surprisingly specific about unique circumstances that might warrant an additional detector to meet safety standards.

Can smoke detectors detect gas?

No standard smoke detector can detect a gas leak. A combination smoke and CO detector can detect carbon monoxide, a byproduct of combusting gas and other fuels, but can’t detect fuels such as natural gas or propane. Natural gas detectors exist but are more commonly found in combination with CO detectors, not smoke detectors.

What makes smoke detectors too sensitive?

For most smoke detectors, excessive sensitivity can indicate a problem with the sensor. Low battery, being too old, and manufacturing defects can all result in excessive sensitivity. A typical smoke detector works by detecting the absence of light on a sensor — which is more likely to happen if the sensor is losing function, the light isn’t bright due to a low battery, etc.
