Re: Smoke Detectors in Units
Effective January 1, 2018, Maryland Law requires all residential smoke detectors to be replaced every ten years and with “ten-year battery” units.
Life Cycle of Smoke Detectors
Smoke alarms do not last forever and units that are 10 years old are near the end of their service life and should be replaced. Both hard-wired and battery-operated alarms are equally affected by age. Just like any electrical appliance, the circuitry and components of smoke alarms wear out over time. When a smoke alarm reaches 10 years of use, the potential of failing to detect a fire increases substantially and replacing units after 10 years
Replacement Program
The replacement of smoke detectors in units is the responsibility of each owner. Our smoke detectors are hard-wired and should be replaced by a certified electrician. They cannot be replaced with non-hardwired smoke alarms.
To expedite the replacement of unit smoke detectors, the 900 Marshy Cove Condo Association has organized a program with a professional electrician. You can take advantage of the program by submitting the attached form and returning it to the 900MC Condo Association in care of Sentry Management or depositing it the suggestion box in the lobby.
Estimated cost will be $265 for 4 ten-year hard-wired smoke detectors which includes installation. This will depend on the number of owners participating.
Work will be tentatively scheduled for end of January dependent on response.
Note: The smoke alarms inside our units are not connected to the fire evacuation alarm.
Stay Safe,
