Smoke & carbon monoxide detectors
Careful planning. Clean installation. Clear communication.Planned for your home
Reliable protection depends on placement and compatibility.
Alarm age, location, power source, interconnection, and manufacturer compatibility all matter. A device that looks fine may already be past its recommended service life.
We review the existing alarms and help plan suitable replacements or new locations for the home.
What we handle

Common questions
Useful answers before you schedule.
These are common starting points. The right answer depends on the conditions in your home.
How often should smoke alarms be replaced?+
Many smoke alarms are designed for replacement after about 10 years, while some CO alarms have a shorter service life. Follow the date and instructions on the specific device.
Do all alarms need to sound together?+
Interconnection requirements depend on the home and project. When interconnection is required or desired, all devices must use a compatible method.
Can I use combination smoke and CO alarms?+
Often, yes, when the listed combination device is suitable for the required location and installation.
Why does an alarm chirp after I replace the battery?+
The device may be expired, the battery may be installed incorrectly, the alarm may need resetting, or another interconnected alarm may be signaling a problem.
