ABR Electric Updates 2026 Smoke Detector Requirements in Collin County
Homeowners in Collin County need to get ready for these changes. Multi-criteria smoke alarms have smart sensors that catch fast-burning or slow-smoldering fires. This keeps families safer. You still put them in the same spots: one in each bedroom, outside sleeping areas, and on every floor of the house. Change them out every 10 years, as the makers say.
McKinney, Texas, United States, 6th Mar 2026 – ABR Electric is a company owned by a veteran. They provide electrical services in McKinney, Allen, Frisco, Plano, and nearby areas in North Texas. Today, they announced new help for homeowners with the 2026 smoke alarm rules. These rules come from groups like NFPA 72 and UL 217. They want people to use multi-criteria smoke alarms. These alarms are better at spotting different kinds of fires and don’t go off as much from things like cooking.
