Smoke Detector Wiring for Lewiston homes and businesses
Up north, power can be out for a while when a storm rolls through. In Lewiston and the rest of Montmorency County, wells, septic pumps and furnaces all depend on electricity, so reliability matters more than it does in town. We keep that in mind whenever we take on smoke detector wiring, and we are happy to talk about backup power while we are there.
Why interconnected alarms matter
A fire that starts in the basement may not trigger an upstairs alarm until smoke has filled the stairwell. With interconnected alarms, the first detector to sense smoke sets off every alarm in the house, buying the minutes people need to get out. In Lewiston homes without existing alarm wiring, we can add the interconnect cable or use wireless-linked hardwired alarms where fishing wire is not practical.
