What Rooms Do You Need a Fire Alarm In?

The location of your fire alarms determines their efficacy. All kitchens, for example, should have a fire alarm, as cooking mishaps are a common cause of house fires.

Here are some rooms that require a fire alarm:

  • Near bedrooms (for detection while occupants are sleeping)
  • Every level of your building (including basement/attic)
  • Kitchen (placed not too close to the stove to avoid false alarms)
  • Living areas (family rooms, living rooms for added protection)

When Do You Need Fire Alarm Replacement?

Smoke alarms don’t last forever. Their average lifespan is typically around ten years. You’ll know when you need fire alarm replacement if yours is older or around ten years old, it doesn’t respond properly to a test, or it produces sounds like chirping or squealing intermittently.

You can also opt for a replacement if you’re interested in a newer model. Some of these have advanced features like voice and visual alerts or strobes for added safety.

Hardwired Smoke Alarms vs Battery-Powered Ones: Key Differences

Hardwired fire alarms are connected directly to your building’s electrical system, which means they have a consistent power source. They typically come with a battery backup for power outages. These systems are interconnected, so when one sounds, they all do.

Battery-powered alarms operate solely on batteries. They can be a good option if you’re renting or in a temporary living situation. They rely on batteries, which need replacing around every six months, or when you hear the “chirping” sound indicating a low battery.

Since hardwired systems don’t fail in power outages, especially with a backup battery, they’re more reliable. If you prefer a more interconnected warning, perhaps for a larger building, a hardwired system is ideal.

Why Is Your Smoke Detector Beeping?

Smoke detectors beep for a variety of reasons, and not just because the battery is low, though that’s one common reason. They can also beep or chirp when the sensor is dirty or obstructed.

Some newer models also sometimes have specific beep patterns for different problems. However, if you hear a single chirp every thirty seconds or so, it just means your system has a low battery.
