The Best Smoke Alarm for Your Home | Requirements & Fun Facts

Описание: With hundreds of different smoke alarm models on the market choosing the right one for your home is confusing! Learn the key points for choosing the right smoke alarm and its placement for your residence.

Other information to take into consideration:

Many studies have shown children are unresponsive to the standard loud high pitched smoke alarm alert tone when they're in deep stages of sleep. I've even had a similar experience when I was a child. An alarm went off in the middle of the night and my mind wasn't awake enough to register what was happening. This situation can be VERY dangerous especially when adults are unable to guide the child safely out of the house. If you have younger people in your home I recommend installing a voice alarm in and near their bedroom(s). Studies show children will respond faster if there is a voice telling them what the situation is and what to do. There are even special smoke alarm models where you can record personalized voice message so that it automatically plays when there is smoke.

I recommend getting a smoke alarm that is Underwriters' Laboratories Listed (UL). This means the unit has been put through rigorous testing to ensure it will work properly if it is maintained according to the manufacture's instructions. Most smoke and carbon monoxide alarms you see in popular stores such as Walmart or The Home Depot are UL Listed.

Lastly, getting a little nerdy, there is a difference in the term "smoke alarm" and "smoke detector". Smoke alarms are referred to in the professional industry as a device that both detects smoke and alerts to a fire with a built-in alarm. Smoke detectors are generally used on a fire/security alarm system and they simply detect smoke and transmit a signal to a different device such as a panel.
