IMPORTANCE

Working alarms provide early warning when seconds matter. If your detectors are 10+ years old, chirping, yellowed, or unreliable, it’s time to replace them. We’ll help you select the right mix of interconnected smoke and CO alarms, place them correctly, and verify operation before we leave.

What we focus on:

  • Reliable detection across sleeping areas and key living spaces
  • Interconnection so all alarms sound together
  • Clear end‑of‑life replacement planning
  • Simple testing and maintenance guidance for homeowners

Our Smoke and CO Detector Services

We help you upgrade aging devices, add CO coverage, and make sure alarms are installed where they’ll do the most good.

Smoke alarm installation

We install new, UL‑listed alarms (hardwired or battery) and replace expired units. If you’re renovating or adding rooms, we can extend coverage and interconnect new devices for whole‑home alerts.

Carbon monoxide detector installation

CO is colorless and odorless. We place and wire CO alarms to help protect against furnace, water‑heater, garage, or generator exhaust issues. Combination smoke/CO units are available when appropriate.

Hardwired Smoke Detection System

Prefer hardwired alarms? We can add new circuits, install boxes, and tie into existing interconnect lines so alarms communicate. If your home uses mixed brands or older cabling, we’ll advise safe options that keep the system consistent.

Smoke detector inspection, testing, and replacement

Not sure what you have now? Our smoke detector inspection checks device age, placement, interconnect function, and basic operation. We’ll test every alarm, replace failing units, and note any gaps so you know exactly what to fix first.

Placement and Compliance

Proper placement matters. Our electricians follow manufacturer instructions and local code requirements for locations and interconnection. We’ll walk room‑by‑room, recommend coverage, and explain why each location helps maximize early warning.

Locations we commonly recommend

Inside each bedroom and outside sleeping areas

Every level of the home including basement

Near central heating and cooling systems

Away from bathrooms and cooking appliances

If you’re unsure about specific code details for your project, we’ll review them with you during the visit and document the plan before work begins.
