Different Types of Smoke Detectors in Langford, British Columbia

Smoke detector installation starts with choosing the right make and model for your needs. You will first need to choose between a hardwired or battery-operated model. We recommend hardwired smoke detectors because they draw power from your home’s electrical grid and actually use a battery backup for extra reliability.

Another advantage of hardwired models is that if one detector goes off, they all do. This means that everyone in the house gets ample warning that there’s smoke.

The next choice to make is to decide on which type of smoke detector to get. There are a few types:

Ionization smoke alarm: These have a current that passes through two electrodes. If smoke interferes with this transmission, the alarm sounds. They respond quickly but may also have false positives.

Photoelectric smoke alarm: These pass a beam from an LED light to a sensor. If smoke breaks the beam, the alarm sounds. These detectors are less likely to react to steam but may need more smoke to break the beam than the ionization model does.

Combination smoke alarm: Can’t decide between the two? A combination model brings you the best of both worlds.
