Ignoring detector maintenance or relying on outdated units puts your household at immense risk.

Frequently Asked Questions
We believe informed homeowners make safer decisions. Here are some frequently asked questions about smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.
The typical lifespan of a standalone carbon monoxide (CO) detector is approximately 5 to 7 years. Combination smoke and CO detectors often have a similar or slightly longer lifespan for the smoke alarm component, typically up to 10 years, but the CO sensor will still require replacement around the 5-7 year mark. Always refer to your specific manufacturer’s guidelines for exact expiration dates, as exceeding these limits can compromise your family’s safety. Regular battery changes are also crucial for continued operation.
Most smoke detectors have a lifespan of approximately 10 years. However, if your smoke detector is a combination unit that also includes a carbon monoxide (CO) detector, the entire unit may need to be replaced sooner, typically after 5 to 7 years, as CO sensors have a shorter effective life. Manufacturers and fire safety organizations, like the NFPA, strongly recommend replacing smoke alarms every decade, even if they appear to be working. After this period, their sensitivity can diminish, reducing their effectiveness in detecting smoke and fire. Always check the manufacturing date on the back of your unit.
For optimal safety, install carbon monoxide detectors on every level of your home, including the basement, and particularly in or around each sleeping area. A good rule of thumb is to place them at least 15-20 feet away from your furnace and at least 10 feet away from sources of humidity like bathrooms, to prevent false alarms. The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) recommends placement on each level and within 15 feet of every sleeping room. If you need professional assistance with optimal placement and installation for your specific home layout in Havertown, PA, or surrounding areas, don’t hesitate to contact Adam Home Services.
Yes, certain areas should be avoided for carbon monoxide detector installation to prevent false alarms and ensure proper function. Never install CO alarms in kitchens, garages, furnace rooms, or in any extremely dusty, dirty, or greasy areas. Additionally, avoid direct sunlight, areas with extreme temperatures (like unfinished attics or basements, crawl spaces, or porches), and locations with excessive obstructions (such as behind curtains or furniture). These conditions can interfere with the sensor’s ability to detect CO accurately. For expert guidance on proper placement and professional carbon monoxide detector installation, call Adam Home Services today.
The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) recommends a comprehensive smoke detector installation strategy for maximum home safety. This includes installing smoke alarms inside every bedroom, outside each separate sleeping area, and on every level of the home, including the basement. For multi-story homes, a detector should be installed at the top of the first-to-second floor staircase, and interconnected smoke alarms are highly recommended. This ensures that when one alarm sounds, all alarms throughout the house are triggered, providing earlier warning to all occupants. Adam Home Services’ certified electricians can help assess your home and install the appropriate number of smoke detectors in the right locations, ensuring compliance with local codes in Havertown, PA, and surrounding counties.
If your smoke alarm continues to chirp or beep after you’ve removed and replaced the batteries, it often indicates one of a few things: The unit itself may have reached its end-of-life and needs to be replaced entirely (typically after 10 years). The alarm might still be processing and clearing an error, and may require a hard reset by holding down the test button for 15-20 seconds. Or, there could be a persistent electrical issue or dust accumulation affecting its sensor. If the beeping persists or you’re unsure, it’s always best to call a professional electrician from Adam Home Services to diagnose the problem and ensure your home’s safety.
