Frequently Asked Questions
What are the smoke detector laws in Oregon?
Oregon law requires working smoke alarms in all residential properties. When selling a home, they must be ionization alarms with a 10-year battery or hardwired alarms with battery backup, placed in specific locations.
Why should my smoke detectors be interconnected?
Interconnected alarms communicate with each other. If a fire starts in the basement and triggers that alarm, the alarms in your bedrooms will sound simultaneously, giving you more time to escape.
How often should smoke detectors be replaced?
Smoke and carbon monoxide detectors have a lifespan of 10 years. After 10 years, the sensors degrade and they must be completely replaced, not just the batteries.
Do you install smart smoke detectors like Nest Protect?
Yes, we can install and hardwire smart smoke and CO detectors that send alerts directly to your phone.
Are your smoke detector installations code-compliant?
Yes. We install interconnected, hardwired smoke and combination smoke/CO alarms to current NEC and Oregon code — one in each bedroom, outside sleeping areas, and on every floor including the basement. Battery backup is standard. Call (971) 306-8484.
