Smoke Detector Installation: FAQ

What is the starting price for smoke detectors?

Flat from $80; whole-home replacements are bundled per unit, with combo smoke/CO units costing slightly more.

How many detectors do I need?

California requires one in each bedroom, outside sleeping areas and on each level. We put them in the right spots.

Battery or hardwired?

We install both; hardwired interconnected units (one trips all) are common for code compliance.

Can you add carbon monoxide detectors?

Yes, including combination smoke/CO units near sleeping areas as required.
