Bee-lectric provides expert smoke detector installation services which ensure complete protection against fire hazards.
Our Smoke Detector Installation Services
Ionization Smoke Detector Installation
Ionization detectors respond quickly to fast-flaming fires providing rapid detection of active combustion. We install ionization detectors in appropriate locations throughout facilities. Our installations ensure proper placement detecting flaming fires quickly while minimizing false alarms from normal operations.
Photoelectric Smoke Detector Installation
Photoelectric detectors excel at detecting smoldering fires which produce extensive smoke before any flames emerge. We install photoelectric detectors in areas that have a high risk of experiencing slow-burning fires. Our photoelectric installations provide early warning for fires which develop gradually enabling firefighting teams to stop major damage from occurring.
Dual-Sensor Smoke Detector Installation
Fire detection systems that use both ionization and photoelectric technologies are designed to detect all types of fires quickly and accurately. As part of our
industrial electrical construction services, we install dual-sensor detectors that provide comprehensive protection across manufacturing facilities, warehouses, and large-scale operations.
Duct Smoke Detector Installation
HVAC systems require specialized duct-mounted detectors which stop smoke from moving through buildings. We install sampling-type detectors which monitor air handler discharge and return ducts. Our duct detector installations shut down HVAC systems during fire events which prevents smoke distribution.
Beam Smoke Detector Installation
Beam-type detectors project light across spaces which create benefits for large open areas that have high ceilings. Our company installs projected-beam detectors which provide coverage for warehouses and atriums and industrial spaces. Our installations of beam detectors deliver effective coverage to spaces which conventional detectors cannot serve.
When You Need Smoke Detector Installation
New Facility Construction
Building construction requires complete smoke detector installation that meets all applicable code requirements, including compliance with the
national electrical code and relevant fire safety standards throughout the facility. We install detectors during construction while coordinating closely with other trades to ensure proper placement, wiring, and system integration.
Facility Renovations
Building modifications and tenant improvements require updating smoke detector coverage maintaining complete protection. We add detectors in renovated areas, relocate devices for layout changes, and ensure continued code compliance. Our renovation work maintains fire protection throughout facility modifications.
Enhanced Protection
Organizations prioritizing safety install additional detectors beyond minimum code requirements. We design enhanced coverage providing earlier detection and redundant protection. Comprehensive detector installations maximize occupant safety and property protection.
Code Compliance Requirements
Building codes require smoke detector installation throughout buildings according to their specific occupancy types and structural design requirements. Our detector installation process ensures compliance with International Building Code and NFPA standards. The installation process of code-compliant systems protects building occupants and achieves regulatory requirements for inspection and permit processes.
Detector Replacement
Smoke detectors exceeding ten years require replacement ensuring reliable operation. We replace aging detectors with current technology maintaining effective fire detection. Scheduled replacement prevents detector failures from aging components ensuring continuous protection.

Frequently Asked Questions
What type of smoke detector is best for facilities?
Detector selection depends on fire hazards and environmental conditions. Ionization detectors suit areas with flaming fire risks. Photoelectric detectors excel where smoldering fires occur. Dual-sensor detectors provide comprehensive protection. We recommend appropriate types based on specific facility characteristics and operational activities.
How many smoke detectors are required?
Detector quantity follows NFPA 72 spacing requirements allowing maximum coverage areas based on ceiling characteristics. Standard spacing permits detectors every 900 square feet under typical conditions. We calculate exact requirements considering specific facility conditions ensuring adequate detection coverage.
Where should smoke detectors be installed?
Building codes dictate that detectors must be installed at particular points which include corridors and mechanical rooms and elevator lobbies and all occupied areas. Detectors must be installed on ceilings or high wall areas according to established spacing and positioning standards. The correct installation locations will be determined through code analysis together with facility design assessment.
How often should smoke detectors be replaced?
Smoke detectors need replacement after ten years because their sensors diminish sensitivity throughout that period. Some commercial detectors last longer with proper maintenance. We recommend tracking installation dates and replacing detectors on schedule which will ensure their reliable ongoing operation.
