Melbourne, FL Smoke Detector Installation FAQs
Where can I have a smoke detector installed?
In general, smoke detectors get installed high on your ceiling, but there can be some modifications based on the location. Our local electricians are very familiar with the requirements for location and power sourcing and will walk you through your options when we arrive.
How can I test my smoke detector?
It’s important that you regularly test that your device is working. If your unit has a test button, labeled thusly, you can press it for a few seconds after which allowed beeping should happen. If there’s no beeping, you might need to call our team for a Melbourne, FL smoke detector installation service.
If, instead, your unit has different lights, pay attention to what they indicate. Usually a steady green light indicates your smoke detectors working just fine but a flashing green light means it’s relying entirely on the battery rather than power from your home. A flashing red light means it’s working but there could be an issue.
