Smoke Detector Replacement in Kirby, TX

Is your smoke detector making that notorious chirping sound? While this is the sign of trouble that most people complain about, there are many warning signs that can indicate your smoke detector is not prepared for when you need it most. We’ll share some of these red flags later on this page.

There is no knowing when you might need your smoke detector, but you should know the reliable electricians at Mr. Electric are always ready to help. Call or message us at any time of the day to get in touch.

Signs your smoke detector is in trouble

The sound of frequent chirping or beeping from the smoke detector is notorious, but there are some other warning signs that are more subtle. Property owners should be familiar with all of these in order to guarantee a functional unit:

Frequent Chirping or Beeping: This usually indicates a low battery but can be due to sensor issues as well.
False Alarms: Smoke and humidity can trigger a false alarm, but dust buildup and a malfunctioning sensor can also be culprits.
No Sound During Test: The test button should trigger an alarm; if not, then the battery, wiring, or the detector itself may be faulty.
Yellowing or Damage: Discoloration, cracks, or wear can signal age and reduced effectiveness.

Finally, it’s worth noting that smoke detectors over 10 years old are a cause for concern even if they may seem to be working. Sensors become less reliable over time and it’s better to be safe than sorry. We typically advise a smoke detector replacement after a decade of service.

Hire professionals for the installation

A smoke detector installation should NOT be taken on as a DIY project. For one, it typically involves electrical work. More importantly, a faulty installation can make your property vulnerable to uncontrollable fires – and your property insurance company may reject insurance claims if they find out you did not hire a professional for the installation.

Our Customers Love our Services

John was on time, explained the issue I was having, offered me a couple of options, and then repaired the switch that was giving me problems, following my preferences of the choices he had given me. He was pleasant, professional, and did a great job. Would not hesitate to use Mr. Electric again!

Sue Trautner

Austin, electrician and his teammate we’re great! Both were punctual, courteous, and very informative in explaining the situation and their recommendations to replace a bad breaker in our panel. There was NO frivolous attempt up-sale to items we didn’t need and they were straight to the point honest in their recommendation. In the end, I would described the customer service Austin and his teammate provided me as, AWESOME! Being a new home owner, I am glad I have found this company and will be using them any future electrical needs!

Mark Flores

Outstanding communication and very professional service. I would highly recommend Mr. Electric. Received both e-mails and texts on appointment to include a photo and short bio of the actual electrician (Brad Mason) who would be doing the work. Wish all home service providers did the same. Brad was on time (actually a few minutes early). He installed 30AMP breaker and associated RV plug in our garage. To avoid any sheetrock repairs it was necessary for him to drop the line to the house electric panel through a wall with foam insulation, with very limited head/body clearance for him to work. No mess left behind from the actual plug installation on another wall.

Rick from Mr. Electric arrived when expected and quickly diagnosed the problem. He recommended a solution and gave us a proposal for solving the problem. We asked when he could do the work and how long would it take. He said he could do the job that day and it would take 4 or 5 hours. The price was reasonable, and we told him to get started. He did a very good job, neat and within the estimated time. The invoice amount for the job was was the same as the proposal amount. We are planning on having Mr. Electric and hopefully Rick do more work in the near future to upgrade our home's 50+ year old electrical system. Photo of our new circuit breaker panel.
