How long do smoke detectors last?

Smoke detectors typically last for around 8-10 years, although this can vary depending on a number of factors such as the model, manufacturer, and usage.

Some manufacturers may recommend replacing your smoke detectors every 5-7 years, while others may suggest a longer lifespan of up to 10 years. It’s important to check the manufacturer’s recommendations for your specific smoke detector model.

In addition to the manufacturer’s recommended lifespan, you should also replace your smoke detectors if they become damaged or stop working properly. You can test your smoke detectors regularly to ensure they are functioning correctly, but if they fail to respond to the test, emit false alarms, or show other signs of malfunction, it’s time to replace them.

It’s important to keep your smoke detectors in good working order to ensure that they can alert you to a fire and help keep you and your family safe. Regularly testing and replacing your smoke detectors is a simple but effective way to ensure that they are always functioning correctly.
