Why Proper Detector
Installation Matters
Smoke and carbon monoxide detectors are only useful if they are installed in the right places and working correctly. Poor placement, outdated devices, missing batteries, disconnected wiring, or damaged alarms can leave parts of the home unprotected.
Professional installation helps ensure your detectors are:
- Installed in appropriate areas of the home
- Properly connected when hardwired
- Equipped with battery backup when needed
- Replaced when past their service life
- Tested after installation
- Positioned to provide better whole-home coverage
- Installed cleanly without guesswork
Carbon monoxide is especially dangerous because it is odorless and invisible. A working CO detector can alert you before symptoms become serious. Smoke detectors are equally important because they provide early warning during a fire, giving your household more time to respond.

FAQs
Frequently Asked
Questions
How often should smoke and carbon monoxide detectors be replaced?
Most smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors should be replaced about every 10 years, but you should always check the manufacturer’s date and instructions on the device. If the alarm is yellowed, damaged, missing, constantly chirping, or does not respond during testing, it should be replaced sooner.
Where should smoke and carbon monoxide detectors be installed?
Smoke detectors are commonly installed inside bedrooms, outside sleeping areas, and on each level of the home. Carbon monoxide detectors are especially important near sleeping areas and in homes with fuel-burning appliances, fireplaces, gas furnaces, water heaters, or attached garages.
Should I choose hardwired detectors or battery-powered detectors?
Hardwired detectors are a strong option because they connect to your home’s electrical system and usually include battery backup. Battery-powered detectors may still be useful in certain locations, but hardwired and interconnected alarms can provide better whole-home protection when installed correctly.
Why does my smoke detector keep chirping?
A chirping smoke detector may have a low battery, expired sensor, loose connection, dust buildup, or internal failure. If replacing the battery does not stop the chirping, the detector may need to be replaced or the wiring may need to be checked.
