How to Choose the Right Smoke Detector for Your Home
Choosing the right smoke detector is crucial to maintaining fire safety in your home. Here are the key factors to consider:
- Detector Types: Photoelectric detectors are effective for smoldering fires, while ionization models respond more quickly to fast-flaming fires. Combination units provide comprehensive protection by addressing both types.
- Power Source: Battery-powered detectors are easy to install, but hardwired models with battery backups ensure reliability during power outages.
- Interconnected Systems: For larger homes, interconnected detectors offer enhanced safety by sounding alarms throughout the house when smoke is detected in one area.
Proper placement is just as important. Smoke detectors should be installed inside and outside sleeping areas, on every floor, and in areas like basements.
If you're unsure which option suits your home best, our expert team in West Jordan is here to help you make the right choice.
Maintenance Tips to Keep Your Smoke Detectors Working
Maintaining your smoke detectors ensures they function properly when needed.
Regularly test your detectors by pressing the test button to confirm they are operational. Replace batteries annually or as soon as the low-battery warning sounds. Keep detectors clean by removing dust and debris from the vents, and check their expiration dates—most need replacement after 10 years.
These simple steps can significantly enhance your home’s fire safety. Momentum Electric is here to assist with maintenance, repairs, or upgrades to keep your smoke detectors in peak condition.

How Do I Choose The Right Electrician?
There are many factors that can help you decide how to choose the right electrician. Every project and every customer has different needs and wants. There are a few questions to ask when thinking of hiring an electrician.
1. How quickly do you need your project done? Depending on the size of your project this is an important question to ask. Larger projects such as home remodels or service meter changes are projects that take time to complete and are best pre planned.
2. Which electricians are in my service area? This can be an important question to ask. When there is a local electrician nearby there is a higher likelihood they can complete your project quicker and know the local codes and ordinances.
3. Is this project in my budget right now? This could be one of the most important questions to ask. Electrical projects vary depending on the situation of each customer’s home.
