Is Your Smoke Alarm Secretly Planning to KILL YOU?
âWhen Good Smoke Alarms Go BadâŚâ
Believe it or not, the smoke alarm youâre relying on to SAVE YOUR LIFE in the event of a FIRE ⌠could be silently âsetting you upâ for a life-threatening (or fatal) disaster!
Thatâs because smoke alarms are only as good as their ABILITY TO DETECT SMOKE, POWER SOURCE and PROPER INSTALLATION!
If you have a smoke alarm that wasnât properly installed, you might not know that!
And youâll only find out AFTER itâs TOO LATE!
Pressing the Test Button Does NOT Mean Your Smoke Alarm Works
The fact is, you canât always trust the âbatteryâ test. Sure, the battery might be working. But it does not mean the smoke alarm itself really working, it is only testing the battery and the alarm side!
In many homes and apartment buildings, the answer is NO. The smoke alarm is over 10 years old, improper wiring, or faulty (cheap) connectors were used. And now, you might be at risk without even knowing it!
Statistics show that over 60% of all Ontario house fires from 1995 to 2004 were in homes with smoke alarms that either had no batteries at all⌠had dead batteries that were no longer working and hadnât been tested⌠or they had batteries that were installed incorrectly. Proper smoke alarm installation and replacement could have saved many lives and millions of dollars in property damage.
Beware of Recalled, Defective and Old Smoke Alarms!
Smoke alarms should really be changed every eight to ten years, says both the Office of the Fire Marshal, the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and the smoke alarm manufacturers themselves. (And smoke/carbon monoxide combo units need to be replaced every 5-7 years!) Regardless of what type, brand, or style of smoke alarm you’ve got in your house; they ALL have a shelf life and need replacing! Smoke alarm replacement should be done when your smoke alarms get to ten years old, there is a “30 % chance of alarm failure.” * This failure is the reason why 51% of home-fire deaths happen between 11 p.m. to 7 a.m.**: Everyone is sleeping; their smoke alarms are not warning them to the danger, so theyâre not able to notice additional signs of a fire⌠before itâs too late.Age isn’t the only reason smoke alarms malfunction there are several brands that have been recalled as a result of poor construction.
