FAQs
What makes your superior-performance electrical smoke detectors better than standard battery-powered models?
Our hard-wired, interconnected detectors receive continuous power from your home’s electrical system and include a back-up battery for outages. This design provides faster, whole-house alerts—when one unit senses smoke, every alarm sounds—greatly increasing evacuation time compared to standalone, battery-only units.
How often should smoke detectors be tested, cleaned, and replaced?
We recommend pressing the test button once a month, vacuuming the detector vents gently every six months to remove dust, and replacing the entire unit every 8–10 years. Back-up batteries should be changed annually, even if they haven’t chirped a low-battery warning.
Are interconnected smoke alarms required by Luttrell or Tennessee building codes?
Yes. The 2018 International Residential Code adopted by Tennessee specifies that new residential construction and significant remodels must have hard-wired, interconnected smoke alarms with battery back-up on every level, in each bedroom, and outside each sleeping area. Our licensed electricians ensure all installations meet or exceed these local requirements.
Can you integrate my smoke detectors with a smart home or security system?
Absolutely. We install detectors that communicate via Wi-Fi or Zigbee/Z-Wave, allowing real-time alerts on your smartphone and seamless connection to security panels, smart speakers, or monitored alarm services. We handle programming and app setup so you can monitor your home in Luttrell from anywhere.
What maintenance services do you offer for hard-wired smoke detectors?
We provide annual inspection packages that include functional testing, battery replacement, sensor chamber cleaning, and verification of the interconnect wiring. If a unit is outdated or shows sensor degradation, we’ll recommend and install a compatible replacement on the spot.
How quickly can you install or upgrade smoke detectors in the Luttrell area, and what will it cost?
Most homes need 4–8 detectors, and a typical upgrade or new installation can be completed in one day. Standard hard-wired detectors start around $65 each installed, while smart or combination (smoke/CO) models range from $110–$180 each. We offer free on-site estimates in Luttrell and surrounding Union County communities and can schedule service within 48 hours of your call.
