Homeowners can choose between many different smoke alarms. One is an Ionized smoke alarm: These alarms have electrodes inside the unit that creates low-level electrical currents and continuously send those currents through ionized air. Should there be any smoke particles in the air, these smoke alarms can detect the disruption and the alarm will be triggered. Since these detectors can pick up small, hard-to-see fire particles, these alarms are ideal for responding to flames. Another one is called a photoelectric smoke alarm. This alarm uses a light sensor and light beam to detect smoke. When there’s a fire, the smoke particles will cause the light beam to scatter and some of that redirected light hits the sensor and causes the alarm to go off. These alarms are able to pick up visible fire particles and are better for responding to smoldering fires. There is also a dual sensor alarm. This alarm features both of these technologies and offer optimal protection. However, if your smoke alarm only features one of these technologies, you’ll still be protected because they are designed to detect a fire, regardless of its source. And, finally, there is a combination smoke and carbon monoxide detector. This can detect house fires, but the alarm will also be triggered when carbon monoxide gas in the house reaches an unsafe level.
