Frequently Asked Questions
Hardwired smoke detector installation typically runs $125-350 per unit, with the total depending on how many
detectors your home needs and whether wiring already exists. Replacing existing hardwired units costs less
than adding new ones. We’ll give you a flat price for the whole home upfront.
Code calls for a smoke detector inside every bedroom, outside each sleeping area, and on every level of the
home including the basement. Most homes need more than owners expect. We’ll walk your home, tell you
exactly how many you need and where, and place them for the best protection — not just the bare minimum.
Hardwired, interconnected detectors are the gold standard — when one senses smoke, they all sound, so you
hear it no matter where the fire starts. They run on your home’s power with battery backup, so you’re covered
even in an outage. We can install and interconnect hardwired units throughout your home for the strongest
protection.
Smoke detectors should be replaced about every 10 years, even hardwired ones — the sensors wear out and
become less reliable over time. If yours are older than a decade, or you’re not sure how old they are, it’s worth
replacing them. We’ll check the dates and swap out anything past its prime.
Yes — and for homes with gas appliances, a fireplace, or an attached garage, combo smoke/CO detectors are
a smart move. Carbon monoxide is invisible and odorless, so detection is your only warning. We’ll install
combination units where they make sense to cover both threats at once.
