Charleston County Smoke Detector Installation

Charleston County homeowners have options when installing a smoke detector, and here’s what you should consider.

  • Ionization Smoke Alarms: These are best at detecting fast-flaming fires, which spread quickly and produce little smoke. They contain a small amount of radioactive material that ionizes the air inside the detector. When smoke disrupts this process, the alarm sounds.
  • Photoelectric Smoke Alarms: These are more effective at detecting slow, smoldering fires that produce a lot of smoke. They use a light beam and sensor; when smoke scatters the light, the alarm is triggered.
  • Combination Smoke Alarms: These devices use ionization and photoelectric sensors to protect against fast-flaming and slow-smoldering fires. Some also include carbon monoxide detection for added safety.

For the best protection, consider installing ionization and photoelectric alarms or using combination units in key areas of your home.
