I would like to know how you all test smoke detectors and why
I personally feel that since I cannot test the calibration of the unit I am unqualified to do so and recommend installation of new units or testing by a security provider since most homes here are interconnected to the security system.
I feel the liability is too great to
say.
Smoke alarm did not operate.
Recommend installing new batteries.
yeah right, But there are some who may word it that way.
Checking for GFCi compliance is one thing but how many homes have that?
Just a thought.
Now lets stay with the detector isuue and not stray off to GFCI's as we have all been well informed on that one.
Testing teqniques, opinions on same, and past problems. Yeah, thats it
