What Our Customers Say

"Jesse replaced all my smoke detectors quickly and efficiently.He cleaned up what little mess he made and took it with him. What a great guy. Very professional. I'll request him the next time I need some electrical work. Give him a raise!"

Peggy B.

"Have used HEP services twice, plumbing and electric. Both repair men were prompt, cleaned up after the job, was pleasant to work with. Got good response/ turn around from the initial call until the job was finished. Even placed at call on Sunday evening. I have a maintance agreement that I pay yearly and plan to renew when it is time. It sure take's the work out of trying to find a reliable service provider."

Marcy G.

"Our eleven-year-old heating and air conditioning system failed early in the Summer. We called HEP and after some discussion with their advisors we decided to invest in a state-of-the-art HVAC system manufactured by Trane and sold through HEP. It was installed quickly and efficiently and without delay by HEP service men. Part of the attraction was the Warranty offered by HEP which included a three-year-maintenance-and inspection-agreement on all household plumbing and electrical equipment, as well as a full ten-year-parts-and-labor Warranty on the HVAC system itself. Subsequently, we required service on our hot-tub and HEP's response ( from serviceman Richie) was quick, professional, and reasonable. We found him to be courteous and helpful. The problem turned out to be minor and we were only charged accordingly and fairly. We intend to continue to be HEP customers for all of our plumbing, electrical, and HVAC needs for the foreseeable future."

T.R. S.

"Conner was super friendly and efficient. Went over all options and even helped with payment option. Emergency call he arrived in under an hour."

Julana W.

"Hep has done a lot of things at our house...windows, doors, A/C, electrical...never disappointed with the service or quality of work!"

Sheryl L.

"HEP has been wonderful. I created an electrical problem which when I call HEP they sent out a tech who fixed it and then looked at my heating unit. I have known for sometime that the unit needed to be replaced. Doug was kind enough to evaluate the current system and at his suggestion I asked for a salesman to meet with me. He was kind enough to get the salesman here the same day and I purchased a unit that they are installing now. It has been like clockwork, each piece of the puzzle coming together. HEP you have a great team that knows how to work in sync. Thank you so much."

Priscilla J.

"David Nicholson was the HEP employee that did my electrical inspection today. He called ahead of time and gave me a time of arrival. He arrived on time, introduced himself, and was very professional and courteous . He explained what the inspection would cover and ask if I had any questions or concerns. HEP should be proud to have such an awesome employee."

Deborah P.

"I've used HEP twice. Once for electrical work and once for new windows. Both experiences were great. Professional work done by experienced craftsmen. The price was reasonable and the quality was excellent."

Steve H.

"I called HEP out to check out my Heating and Air Unit, they were on time, affordable, and got the job done. It was a small repair, and they gave a me and affordable part and price for installation. I recommend HEP to anyone who needs Heating & Air, Electrical, and Plumbing service."

John M.

"Joshua Butler was a great electrician that was quick to diagnose and fix issues caused by old screwy wiring. Very knowledgeable and persistent in having it done the right way."

Understanding Electrical Smoke Detectors

Electrical smoke detectors are hard-wired safety devices designed to sense smoke particles long before flames become visible. Connected directly to a home’s electrical system (and often backed up by batteries), these detectors offer continuous protection without relying solely on battery power.

How They Work

An internal sensor chamber monitors air for microscopic smoke particles.
When particles interrupt the light beam (photoelectric) or alter ionization levels (ionization type), the detector triggers an audible alarm.
Interconnected units communicate through wiring, so if one alarm activates, every other detector in the circuit sounds simultaneously.
Backup batteries supply power during outages, maintaining uninterrupted safety.

Why Smoke Detectors Are Essential for Chattanooga Homes

Chattanooga’s mix of historic residences, new construction, and seasonal humidity creates unique fire-safety challenges. Properly installed electrical smoke detectors mitigate these risks by:

Alerting occupants early, allowing more time for evacuation.
Reducing property damage through faster emergency response.
Meeting local building codes that require hard-wired, interconnected alarms.
Providing peace of mind during frequent summer thunderstorms and winter heating appliance use.
