FAQ
Smoke detector installation questions
How many smoke alarms do I need?
Depends on home layout and code edition—typically each bedroom, hallways outside bedrooms, and each level.
Can you interconnect wirelessly?
Many listed systems support wireless interconnect when wiring between rooms is impractical.
Do I need CO alarms too?
California homes generally require CO alarms in specific locations—ask us to bundle when we are already on site.
Why chirp with new batteries?
End-of-life, wrong battery type, cold temps, or upstream wiring issues—we diagnose instead of guessing.
How long does install take?
Simple swaps are quick; new homeruns across finished homes take longer—we quote accordingly.
