SMOKE ALARM TESTING
Are You and Your Family Safe in Case of Fire or Electrocution?
SMOKE ALARMS SERVICE
Smoke Alarms Testing & Maintenance Services
The objective of smoke alarms is to detect smoke and warn people in the event of fire. A fire alarm system must be activated and in good working condition to ensure protection of your family in the event of a fire.
Also, most smoke alarms are powered by a battery. We can’t predict when the battery is going to die, that is why they need to be checked regularly with regular smoke alarm testing.
Smoke alarms save lives and that’s why at The 99 People we insist and recommend to test, complete a smoke alarm service and change batteries at least once a year.

RCD TESTING SERVICES
Safety Switches (RCD) Testing Services
The same way smoke alarms protect you in case of fire, RCDs exist to prevent electrocutions.
An RCD (residual current device ) also known as a Safety Switch is an electrical device that is designed to immediately switch off the power supply when it detects an electricity leak. Their objective is to prevent you from getting a fatal electric shock if you touch something live, such as a bare wire – or operate a faulty appliance or power tool.
RCDs can also provide some protection against electrical fires.
Many people are not aware of the importance of testing RCD’s. This is often overlooked. However, a malfunctioning RCD can lead to an accident that can be fatal.

Frequently Asked Questions
What smoke alarm should I install?
What are the testing and maintenance requirements for smoke alarms?
What is required by law regarding smoke alarms?
Are smoke alarms compulsory in rental properties?
Why Photoelectric smoke alarms?
How do I know if my smoke alarm is faulty?
Does the ‘test’ button really test the alarm?
The test button causes a reflective material to go in front of the light emitting eiode (LED), causing light to scatter throughout the sensing chamber similarly to the way smoke particles would. This tests the unit completely, not just the battery.
SAFETY NOTE: Never test your smoke alarm with real smoke!
Why am I getting a false alarm when I can't see smoke?
Photoelectric smoke alarms are less likely to false alarm. There are five main reasons that smoke alarms would activate for no apparent reason.
They are near or past their ten-year life.
The backup battery requires replacement.
The wrong type of smoke alarm has been selected for the location.
They have a build-up of dust, insects or other particulates.
They are in the wrong location (e.g. too close to cooking fumes from the kitchen or steam from the shower).
