Smoke and CO Detector Installation

Installing smoke alarms and carbon‑monoxide detectors on every level and near bedrooms gives occupants early warnings of fires or deadly carbon‑monoxide leaks—offering several minutes to escape and reducing the risk of injury or death.

Don’t ignore the warning signs.

Warning signs include outdated smoke alarms, frequent low‑battery chirps, or no carbon monoxide detector at all. False alarms or detectors over 10 years old also indicate they’re due for replacement. Homes lacking sufficient alarms are at greater risk, so schedule professional installation to meet safety standards.

  • Battery-only alarms: Your home still has standalone battery-powered smoke alarms (not hardwired or interconnected) – common in houses built before 1989.
  • Outdated devices: It’s been over 10 years since you last replaced your smoke alarms (smoke detectors expire after a decade).
  • Missing coverage: Missing alarms in key areas of your home – no detectors in some bedrooms, hallways, or on each level (current guidelines call for alarms in every bedroom, outside sleeping areas, and on every floor).
  • No CO protection: No carbon monoxide detectors installed despite having gas appliances or an attached garage (CO is a colorless, odorless “silent killer” that claims thousands of lives annually).
  • Lack of smart features: Your alarms lack modern features like interconnection or smartphone alerts, leaving you concerned that an isolated alarm could go unnoticed.

Early warning systems that save lives.

Our smoke and carbon monoxide detector installation equips your home with reliable alarms in the right locations. Interconnected detectors provide early warning and can halve the risk of death in a house fire. Professional placement ensures maximum coverage, protecting your family from CO gas and fire hazards around the clock.

  • Conducting a complete on-site assessment of your current smoke/CO alarm coverage and needs.
  • Installing new hardwired detectors (with battery backups) in optimal locations, fully up to code.
  • Interconnecting all alarms (via wiring or wireless technology) so that when one sounds, they all do.
  • Upgrading to smart detectors with options for mobile alerts and voice notifications for enhanced protection.
  • Performing a full system test and final walkthrough to ensure every unit is functioning and you’re confident using your new system.
