Fire Alarm Servicing
A fire alarm is a crucial home safety device that provides early warning in the event of a fire. Homes without functioning smoke alarms have a death rate more than twice as high compared to those with working alarms. To protect yourself and your property, it is essential to have a working fire alarm installed in your home, business, or residential space.
Signs that your fire alarm needs a repair
High-quality fire alarms are designed to last at least 10 years, with manufacturers typically offering warranties for their products. However, unexpected issues can still arise, causing your fire alarm(s) to become faulty or damaged. If this happens, it's crucial to have the fire alarm repaired immediately to avoid putting yourself and your property at risk. There are many potential reasons why a fire alarm may fail to function properly.
- Batteries have died out (25% of reported smoke alarm failures are from dead batteries).
- Dust has accumulated in the device.
- Water has seeped into the device
- The wiring connection is loose
- Alarm goes off even in the absence of fire or smoke
- There is a grounding fault
- Damage to the device
Repair or Replacement?
If your fire alarm is over ten years old, it's recommended to replace it rather than attempt repairs. Our fire protection specialists at Kent Electrical & Fire will visit your property to inspect the alarm and other systems to accurately identify the issue. If the problem can be fixed, we will provide a quote and complete the necessary repairs. However, if repair isn't feasible, we'll recommend a suitable replacement. In either case, we ensure you're satisfied with our services and that you quickly have a reliable, fully functional fire alarm protecting you.
