Hardwired Smoke & CO Detector Installation

What to Expect

Hardwired, interconnected smoke and combination smoke and CO detector installation, with battery backup so units work through an outage. Placement is matched to current code requirements for bedrooms and hallways, and expired units are replaced.

Interconnected detectors matter because a fire in the basement should sound the alarm on the second floor, not just wherever the closest detector happens to be. TLB Electric wires each unit into the home’s electrical system with battery backup, so the system keeps working even if the fire itself has taken out power to part of the house.

Detector installation is quick, targeted work, but it’s often bundled with a panel upgrade or renovation. New drywall or an opened ceiling is the easiest time to run the interconnect wiring. If your detectors are original to a home built decades ago, they’re very likely past their service life regardless of whether they still test as working.
