I thought it was cool how you used a fog machine to set off your smoke alarms. I’m too afraid to do that in my house. Although I do have smoke spray cans I use instead on them. I have one of those COPE-IC’s outside my laundry room that goes off all the time along with the others in my house
Nice walkthrough! Just a quick safety tip for next time, use a stick lighter for testing heat detectors cuz if you leave one of those little Bic lighters on for too long you'll burn yourself.
@@thomaswilkins8168 Most hair dryers are not hot enough to set off heat detectors as they are usually set to activate at 60-70°C. There is something similar called a heat gun which is just like a hair dryer, but the forced air is a lot hotter.
I enjoyed the video, just a word of advice if you can try using a hair dryer or a heat gun to test the heat detectors also heat detectors have a 15 year life span according to the NFPA.
Awesome mix of tests! I really like the Ademco code 3, for fire. Same with the other interior sounder, which I like more.

I use the hairdryer to test the heat alarms.
That’s cool to do! My family would get pissed off if I did that.
Heh mine too
Same here lol
Just tested my smoke detectors earlier today before this video came out.

Or you could just use a hair dryer

2:25 My state (ND) only recently started requiring heat alarms in the garage. My house is from 2012 and there are no alarms in the garage.
Good requirement

Awesome video! How do you make sure the Fire Department doesn't respond to your house with all of this?
Thanks. Fire departments are not summoned by residential smokes
Verisure tests it👍👍👍

Has te fire department ever show up at your house? Might be that neighbors call them with all those sirens.

How often do you test your alarms?
