Breathe Easy with New Standards: Corey Chambers Real Estate Team & Entar Lead the Way in Compliance and Safety

REAL ESTATE NEWS (California) — In the ever-evolving landscape of home safety, July 2024 marks a pivotal change with the introduction of new national smoke detector standards. As homeowners and real estate professionals gear up for these changes, the Corey Chambers Real Estate Team, in collaboration with Entar, is already a step ahead, ensuring smooth and compliant property transactions across Southern California.

The upcoming standards set by UL 217 8th Edition call for enhanced smoke detectors that better distinguish actual smoke and fire events from benign occurrences like cooking. These advanced detectors are designed to respond more accurately to fires involving modern, synthetic construction materials and are equipped with improved voltage surge protection and louder alarms. This shift not only elevates safety but also aligns with modern living environments.

How can you identify these next-gen smoke detectors? Look out for the new packaging labels and emblems, like the First Alert and Kidde models that prominently display the UL 217 compliance. Starting from July 1, manufacturers are mandated to follow these stricter guidelines, phasing out the older models, though homeowners can still use their existing detectors until they need replacement.

Now, where does the Corey Chambers Real Estate Team come into play? With their extensive experience in the real estate market and a keen focus on customer satisfaction, the team, alongside Entar, specializes in “same day Realtor retrofit and code compliance inspections.” This service is crucial for homeowners looking to meet the latest standards without disrupting the closing process of property sales. Compliance certificates are promptly issued, ensuring that all parties involved are up-to-date and in line with the newest safety requirements.
