Smoke Alarms Help Save Lives
Homes can burn to the ground in less than 15 minutes.
Early warning alarms like interconnected photoelectric smoke alarms can give you and your family the best chance of escape.
Photoelectric Alarms
A smoldering fire is the most common and high-risk fire in the home. Fire Tek® Photoelectric smoke alarms reliably detect smoke from such fires, before it becomes flaming and potentially impossible to escape.

Interconnected Smoke Alarms
The Fire Tek® smoke alarms can be interconnected wired or wirelessly. This ensures if one alarm detects smoke, all alarms activate. Providing greater warning if far away from detecting alarm in larger homes or bedrooms.

Every Month
Test your smoke alarm using the test/hush button and check the batteries with mains power switched off. Clean the alarm by removing dust and insects.

Every Three Months
Vacuum smoke alarms. Spray insect repellent on a cloth and wipe the ceiling around the smoke alarm. Test the smoke alarm after cleaning.

Every Year
Replace the back-up battery annually. Choose a recurring date that’s easy to remember (birthdays, end/start of daylight saving).

Every 10 Years
All smoke alarms have a limited service life of 10 years. After that period, the entire smoke alarm unit must be replaced with a new one.
