Smoke Alarm In Attic

Smokes are very sensitive to dust.

Smoke alarm in attic. If the attic space is broken into individual bedrooms ensure the smoke. If you sleep better at night with an attic smoke detector they do make detectors for extreme temperatures. Smoke alarms are not designed for garages and attics and are much more likely to fail than a heat detector. Also was not mentioned was whether it was an unfinished attic or finished attic.

This includes attics crawlspaces garages unheated areas or porches. The only problem with these is the dust in most unfinished attics. If you have a workman in they will stir up the insulation and create dust. I was told of an inspector that said a wireless smoke alarm should be put inside an attic to just lay it down presumably near the hatch.

Another location in a home where you should have a heat detector rather than a smoke alarm is the attic. An ionization smoke detector smoke enters a chamber and interrupts an electrical current which triggers the alarm should be installed no closer than 20 feet from a cooking appliance and no. Place additional attic smoke detectors on the finished ceiling as before installing one every 25 feet in an open space. Alarms in unfinished areas may experience more nuisance alarms due to temperature fluctuations.

The sensors in smoke and co alarms work best in temperatures between 40 f 4 c and 100 f 38 c. Quoting the agencies no smoke alarm should be put into an unfinished attic dust temperature etc.
