Smoke Detector Installation for Older Homes
Why Install Smoke Detectors?
Why install Smoke Detectors in Older Homes?
The average home in Central Massachusetts is over 59 years old, many with outdated electrical systems like knob-and-tube or aluminum wiring, which can increase fire risks and may not support modern smoke detectors. Older homes often lack hardwired, interconnected smoke alarms, relying instead on battery-powered units that can fail if batteries die or aren’t replaced regularly.
Upgrading to a hardwired, interconnected smoke detector system ensures:
- Immediate alerts in every room: If one alarm detects smoke, all alarms sound.
- Reliable protection: No risk of dead batteries or missing replacements.
- Code compliance: Meets NFPA and local fire safety regulations.
- Safer sleeping areas: Properly placed alarms provide faster fire warnings.
