Hardwired Smoke & CO Detector Installation in Lawrenceville, GA
Interconnected hardwired smoke and carbon monoxide alarms - so when one sounds, they all sound. Code-compliant placement, battery backup, and replacement of alarms that are past their 10-year life.
Working, correctly placed smoke and CO alarms are the highest-value safety upgrade in any home. Modern code calls for hardwired, interconnected alarms with battery backup, in every bedroom, outside each sleeping area, and on every level — so a fire starting in the basement wakes people sleeping upstairs.
What we install
- Hardwired smoke alarms with battery backup
- Combination smoke / carbon monoxide alarms
- Interconnection — wired or wireless-linked so all alarms sound together
- Adding alarms to bedrooms and levels that don't have them
- Replacing alarms that are 10+ years old (they expire, even hardwired ones)
- Relocating alarms that are too close to kitchens or baths and nuisance-trip
- Dedicated or properly shared circuit for the alarm system
- Retrofit interconnection for older homes using listed wireless-link alarms
Where alarms are required
- Inside every bedroom
- Outside each separate sleeping area (hallways)
- On every level of the home, including the basement
- CO alarms outside sleeping areas and on each level, especially near attached garages and fuel-burning appliances
Older Lawrenceville homes
Many older homes have a single hallway alarm or a mix of unconnected battery units. We can add hardwired interconnected alarms where wiring is accessible, and use listed wireless-interconnect alarms where running cable isn't practical — getting you to a whole-home linked system without a remodel.

FAQ
Smoke & CO Detector Installation in Lawrenceville, GA — Questions
How often do hardwired smoke detectors need to be replaced?
Every 10 years. The sensing element degrades regardless of power source. Check the manufacture date on the back - if it's near or past 10 years, replace it.
What does 'interconnected' mean and why does it matter?
Interconnected alarms all sound together when any one detects smoke or CO. It's critical in multi-level homes so a fire far from the bedrooms still wakes everyone. Code requires it.
Can you interconnect alarms without running new wires?
Yes. Listed wireless-interconnect alarms link to each other by radio, so we can create a whole-home linked system in a finished house without opening walls.
Why does my smoke alarm keep going off for no reason?
Common causes are an alarm near a kitchen or bathroom, dust or insects inside the unit, or an alarm past its service life. We relocate, clean or replace as needed.
