Smoke detectors are one of the most important safety devices in your home, and one of the most commonly ignored until they start chirping.
Whether you’re dealing with detectors that won’t stop beeping, replacing outdated units, or bringing your home up to current code during a renovation or sale, proper installation matters.
We install detectors correctly, to current code, and ensure they’re properly interconnected and powered. When it comes to fire safety, shortcuts are not an option.
Why Smoke Detectors Matter More Than You Think
Smoke detectors are designed to provide early warning in the event of a fire. But for them to work properly, they must:
Be installed in the correct locations
Be properly powered (hardwired with battery backup where required)
Be interconnected so all units sound together
Be tested regularly
Older homes often have outdated detectors, improperly placed units, or standalone battery-powered devices that do not meet current standards.

Smoke Detector & Electrical Safety FAQs
Why does my smoke detector keep chirping even after I change the battery?
If the battery has been replaced and the unit continues to chirp, it may be signaling end-of-life. Most detectors expire after 10 years. In hardwired systems, wiring issues or improper interconnection can also cause recurring chirping.
