FAQs About Smoke Detector Installation

Do smoke alarms really need replacing every 10 years?

Yes — even if they still beep during tests, internal sensors degrade over time. Replacement is required by law every 10 years.

What’s the difference between hard-wired and battery-operated detectors?

Hard-wired alarms are powered by mains electricity and have a backup battery. They're more reliable and now mandatory in most cases.

Can you install multiple alarms and link them?

Yes. We install interconnected systems so that if one alarm goes off, they all sound — giving better whole-home coverage.

Do you provide a Certificate of Electrical Safety?

Absolutely. All installations come with certification and are completed by licensed, insured electricians.
