San Francisco Smoke Detectors Installation Service
In over half the houses we go into, our San Francisco electricians find the smoke detectors or fire alarms have been deactivated, are missing a battery, or the battery connection has been unplugged. Portable smoke detectors with just a regular battery are a problem, as are the ionization smoke detectors which contain radioactive material.
Good smoke detectors come with a 10-year lithium-ion battery. In fact, The San Francisco fire codes now require sealed 10-year lithium ion batteries even in AC powered smoke alarms. With photo electric smoke alarms, you'll also have less trouble with tenants abusing or getting rid of the units. Brookline Electric Co. installs new smoke detector units in San Francisco which are photo-electric. They are not as sensitive to shower steam, cooking odors or tobacco smoke, as are ionization smoke alarms minimizing the number of irritating false alarms. Our smoke detectors offer several other advanced features:
- 10-year lithium-ion battery
- LED light sensors
- Non-radioactive
- Combination Smoke Detector & CO Alarms available
- Hush button which allows alarm to be silenced for 15 or 20 minutes
Smoke Alarm Safety Requirements For Building Owners
If you own a residential building in San Francisco, the new safety code requirements for tenants affect you. The requirements are for buildings with more than three units. Owners need to provide residential tenants a notice posted in common areas which include updated information on fire safety and smoke alarm requirements and fire safety related information. You'll also need to file and post a Statement of Compliance form for annual fire alarm testing and the owner's contact information at the building entry. You can contact the San Francisco Fire Department for details.Smoke Alarm Installation Requirements
New safety codes require the installation of smoke and CO alarms in the bedrooms of each floor if there is a gas or oil burning appliance in the building or an attached garage. Smoke alarms should always be installed outside bedrooms unless the room is converted to other uses besides sleeping. Smoke and CO alarms should NOT be installed near fuel-burning appliances. On levels without bedrooms, install alarms in the living areas and near the stairway to the upper level. Basements should also be fitted with a smoke alarm. Regulations require them to be installed at least 10 feet from a cooking appliance and 3 feet from bathroom doors.About Carbon Monoxide Alarms
CO poisoning can occur from a number of sources, but especially from fuel-burning appliances like gas furnaces, boilers, stoves, and water heaters. San Francisco Fire Code requires that they are installed in dwelling units and sleeping units where there are fuel-burning appliances, fireplaces, forced air furnace or in building with an attached private garage.Our San Francisco Smoke Detector Contractor Provides
