Working smoke detectors are your family's first line of defense in a fire, providing the early warning needed to escape safely. The National Fire Protection Association reports that three out of five home fire deaths occur in homes without working smoke detectors or with disabled units. AJ Long Electric installs hardwired, interconnected smoke and carbon monoxide detectors throughout Northern Virginia homes in Fairfax County, Loudoun County, Prince William County, Arlington, and Alexandria. Unlike battery-only detectors that rely on homeowners to replace batteries, hardwired detectors draw power from your home's electrical system with battery backup for outages. Interconnected systems ensure that when one detector activates, all detectors in your home sound simultaneously, giving everyone the maximum warning time regardless of where the fire starts. Virginia building code requires smoke detectors in every bedroom, outside each sleeping area, and on every level of the home including basements. We install units that meet current code requirements including sealed 10-year lithium battery backup, photoelectric or dual-sensor detection, and voice alert capability. Our electricians handle all wiring, mounting, and interconnection, and we test every unit to verify proper communication across the entire system.
