Smoke Detector Service

The electricians in our network handle the full range: hardwired detector installation, replacing dead or outdated units, adding detectors where coverage is short, and interconnecting alarms so the whole house sounds together. They also install combination smoke and carbon monoxide units, fix the wiring behind nuisance alarms, and test every detector before finishing.

Swapping a battery is fine on your own, but hardwired units, interconnected systems, and anything involving the wiring behind the detector call for a licensed electrician. A pro makes sure the connections are correct, the placement meets code, and every linked alarm responds, which is exactly what a DIY swap can leave incomplete.

Cost depends on how many units you need, whether they're hardwired and interconnected, and whether you're adding carbon monoxide protection. A single replacement runs roughly $75 to $150, while a whole-house interconnected system generally lands between $200 and $700 or more depending on the number of detectors. Your electrician gives you a clear price before any work begins.
