Residential Smoke Detector Requirements in Kentucky
According to Kentucky Residential Code, smoke detectors are required to be installed in every bedroom as well as in every level of a home (including any basements).
Our experts can help you determine the right locations for installation based on local requirements and the requirements set forth by the National Fire Protection Association and manufacturer’s guidelines.
Smoke Detector Testing and Maintenance
Monthly testing is recommended in order to ensure that your smoke detectors continue to operate efficiently. All you need to do is push the “test” button on your device. The alarm should sound. If the alarm doesn’t come on after you have tried to test it, you can try to replace the batteries; if you are still not hearing the test alarm, you may have faulty wiring that requires professional attention.
To ensure uninterrupted service and greater protection, batteries on your smoke detector should be changed once a year, and the smoke detector itself should be replaced every 10 years.
Our experts can help you determine the right locations for installation based on local requirements and the requirements set forth by the National Fire Protection Association and manufacturer’s guidelines.

Selecting the Right Type of Smoke Detector for Your London, KY Home
You have three options when it comes to choosing a smoke detector: ionization, photoelectric, and dual-sensor devices.
- Ionization smoke alarms: These types of smoke alarms are designed to respond quickly to flaming fires. If smoke enters the ionization chamber, the smoke will disrupt the flow of ions and set off the alarm.
- Photoelectric smoke alarms: These work best at alerting you to smoldering fires. They work when light is reflected on the sensor (caused by smoke), which will then trigger the alarm.
- Dual-sensor smoke alarms: This type of alarm incorporates both ionization and photoelectric technology to provide you with more effective protection, and is the recommended option for most homes.
Your experts at Kentucky Climate Control are happy to go over your options in more detail. We will make sure that you end up with the best equipment for your home and supply you with high-quality devices from trusted manufacturers.
