Where should smoke detectors be installed in the home?

Smoke detectors must be installed in every bedroom, outside each sleeping area, and on every level of your home, including the basement. Your technician will ensure placement meets local West End Sewickley building codes.

How often should smoke detectors be replaced?

Most smoke detectors should be replaced every 10 years, even if they appear to function properly. Additionally, if your detectors chirp constantly or fail tests, it’s time for a professional smoke detector replacement.

Can I install or replace hardwired smoke detectors myself?

While you can replace battery-operated models, hardwired and interconnected smoke detectors are best handled by a licensed electrician. Improper wiring or placement can compromise your safety. A professional will ensure your smoke detector installation is safe, tested, and up to code.

Why does my smoke detector keep chirping?

Constant chirping typically indicates a low battery, which you should replace immediately. If replacing the battery doesn't resolve the issue, it may signal dust buildup, a wiring problem in hardwired units, or that the unit has reached the end of its life, requiring smoke detector replacement.

How often should I replace the batteries in my smoke detectors?

Most alarms require new batteries once per year, including backup batteries for hardwired units. Consistent upkeep ensures your alarms stay reliable.
