1. Smoke Detector Repair – Immediate Fixes for Malfunctions

If your smoke detector is malfunctioning or just not responding when it should, our team of technicians can quickly diagnose and repair the issue. Some common problems include:

QUESTIONS / ANSWERS

FAQs:

Smoke detectors can give false alarms due to a variety of factors, including dust buildup, low battery, or improper installation. If this happens frequently, it might be time to check the sensor or even replace the unit. We can inspect the issue and replace faulty parts if necessary.

It’s recommended that smoke detectors undergo a full inspection at least once a year. If you’re in a commercial property, we suggest more frequent inspections. This ensures your system is always in top working order and complies with local regulations.

Smart smoke detectors provide real-time alerts to your phone, even when you’re not home. They integrate with other security systems, offering enhanced control. However, they must be installed correctly and maintained regularly, just like traditional units.

While it’s possible to replace the batteries or perform basic maintenance, we highly recommend professional assistance for installation and repairs. Proper installation and calibration ensure the detectors work effectively, especially when it comes to compliance with local fire safety codes.

If your detector fails an inspection, we’ll identify the issue—whether it’s a faulty unit, incorrect placement, or failure to comply with regulations—and provide a solution. If necessary, we’ll replace outdated units with newer models or upgrade your system to ensure compliance with Ottawa’s fire codes.
