Good to Know
> 🎯 **While I'm there:** I can check all your smoke alarms, test they're working, and advise if any need replacing. Most people have no idea their upstairs alarm hasn't worked in three years until there's an actual fire. **Alarm older than 10 years?** The sensors wear out even if the battery's fine. Modern alarms are cheap and last 10 years with sealed batteries - never need changing. Worth considering an upgrade. **Older Exeter properties?** Period houses with high ceilings or limited loft access can be awkward for alarm fitting. If you need new alarms installed in better positions, I can advise on the best spots. **Rented property?** Landlords are legally required to have working smoke alarms. If you're a landlord checking compliance, I can test all alarms and replace batteries as part of a safety check.
Frequently Asked Questions about Smoke alarm battery change in Tiverton
Can't I just change the battery myself?
Course you can, if you can reach it and you've got the right battery. But high ceilings, wobbly ladders, or being elderly means it's not always that simple. I've got proper steps and access equipment. Plus I can test it's actually working while I'm there.
What if I don't know what battery it needs?
I'll check when I'm there - most are 9V batteries but some newer ones use different types. I carry common batteries with me, or if it's something unusual I'll grab it on the way.
Can you do multiple alarms while you're here?
Absolutely - that's usually what happens. If you've got three or four alarms round the house, I'll do them all in one visit. Much more sensible than paying for me to come back separately for each one.
How will I know it's actually working?
I'll press the test button before I leave - you'll hear it loud and clear. That's the whole point of getting it done properly - knowing your family's actually protected.
My alarm's ancient - should I just replace it?
If it's more than 10 years old, yeah probably. Even with fresh batteries, the sensors wear out. I can advise when I'm there whether it needs replacing rather than just a battery.
