What needs a separate discussion
Sealed units, expired or faulty alarms, electrical work, and monitored/commercial systems need appropriate assessment. This service does not certify fire-code compliance or guarantee fault resolution.
After the visit
Follow the manufacturer’s routine test and replacement instructions. Treat a failed test or continuing chirp as unresolved. For a suspected fire, leave and contact emergency services.
