Smoke Alarms

Working smoke alarms save lives. Make sure yours are properly installed and maintained. 

Top Tips

• Test your smoke alarms monthly by pressing the "Test" button on the alarm.
• It is best to use interconnected smoke alarms so that when one smoke alarm sounds, they all sound.
• Ensure smoke alarms are installed in every bedroom, outside all sleeping areas and on every floor including the basement. 
• Change batteries at least once a year or when the low battery chirp sounds. 
• Replace smoke alarms when they are 10 years old or stop responding when tested. 

Types of Alarms

The two most common types of smoke alarms are ionization and photoelectric alarms.

• Ionization - An ionization smoke alarm is more responsive to flaming fires and a photoelectric smoke alarm is more responsive to smoldering fires. 
• Photoelectric - Photoelectric smoke alarms are the best type of alarms to be installed near the kitchen and bathrooms to reduce nuisance alarms.
