Smoke Alarm Installations
Helping keep homes compliant
Smoke detectors are essential in a fire emergency and must be replaced every 10 years.
The installation of smoke alarms in every home is not just a safety measure but also a legal requirement for all properties.
Our service begins with an assessment of your property to determine the optimal placement and number of smoke alarms needed to provide adequate coverage and meet the standards. This ensures that every room, especially sleeping areas and hallways leading to exit points, are well-equipped to alert residents at the first sign of smoke.
Maintenance is also a critical aspect of our smoke alarm service. Smoke alarms should be tested regularly (every 12 months) and maintained to ensure they remain in good working order.
MCG Electrical provides ongoing maintenance services, including routine checks and the replacement of batteries or the entire unit when necessary. We also educate homeowners on how to test and maintain their smoke alarms to ensure continuous protection.
