Smoke Detectors
 
Homeowner Use and Maintenance Guidelines

Read the manufacturer's manual for detailed information on the care of your smoke detectors. Your smoke detectors are wired together so that if one goes off in one part of the house, the others should sound as well.
 
Batteries

If your smoke detector is making a "chirping" sound, you need to change the batteries, not just in the one that is chirping but also in ALL of the smoke detectors in your home. The batteries serve as a back up should the power go out.
 
Cleaning

For your safety, clean each smoke detector monthly to prevent a false alarm or lack of response in a fire. After cleaning, push the test button to confirm the alarm is working.
 
GOODIER BUILDERS Limited Warranty

GOODIER BUILDERS does not represent that the smoke detectors will provide the protection for which they are installed or intended. We will test smoke detectors during the orientation to confirm that they are working and to familiarize you with the alarm. You are responsible for further safety precautions.
