Failing to keep smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in good working order poses dangerous risks. The video to the left highlights many of those risks. What it neglects to mention is the fire code in our service area requires interconnection between detection units. If one sounds, they must all sound. Simple and basic battery powered units lack this functionality and leave you open to additional risk.

We recommend hardwired smoke detectors whenever feasible. There are newer units with wireless interconnection for the times it isn’t.
