There are many steps homeowners take to keep their homes and family members safe, including simple things like locking the doors, keeping sharp objects in high-up locations, and ensuring everyone in the home knows some of the basics of fire safety and an agreed-upon escape route. But what if a fire broke out in an unoccupied area of the home and no one was around to notice? What if your family members were asleep?
Having smoke detectors in the home is an important step toward protecting the people you love. We recommend calling in professionals to install them for you, so that you can feel confident the job is done right. Let our experts in Schererville do the work.

If you already have smoke detectors in place in your home, it’s important that you test every smoke alarm in the house once a month. All you have to do is press the button that reads "test." An alarm beep should go off that alerts you that everything is working fine. If not, it’s time to change the battery, but you can find one of these at a local store. However, if a battery doesn’t solve the problem, it’s likely time for a new smoke alarm. In fact, you may want to consider changing out your smoke alarms every 15 years or so, in order to prevent them from failing when you really need them or when you’re too busy to notice. A trained technician is the best person to handle the installation task for you.
So why can’t you just throw some batteries into a store–bought smoke detector and mount it onto the wall? Well, there are a few reasons we recommend against this and strongly suggest you hire technicians for smoke detector installation. First and foremost, you want to make sure the job is done right, and wiring a smoke detector into an electrical system isn’t always easy.
Secondly, your local HVAC technicians also know all of the local codes concerning smoke detectors. In less time than you could complete the research and measurements, a quality technician could install the fixture for you so that you don’t have to worry about it. You’ll know that your smoke detectors are in an optimal location so that you and your family can evacuate fast as soon as smoke starts to fill your home.
