FAQ
Hardwired Detector Installation FAQ
Common questions about hardwired detector installation in Adams County, CO.
Colorado requires smoke alarms to be hardwired in dwelling units built or substantially rehabilitated after December 29, 2022. For older Lakewood homes, a sealed 10-year battery unit may qualify, but hardwired systems offer stronger, more reliable protection.
You need at least one smoke detector inside each sleeping room, outside each sleeping area, and on every level including the basement. CO detectors must be placed within 15 feet of the entrance to every sleeping area in Lakewood homes with gas appliances or attached garages.
Yes, we upgrade battery-only units to hardwired detectors wired directly into your home's electrical system. Our licensed electricians handle all wiring and confirm each unit is correctly placed before the job is complete.
Hardwired detectors in Lakewood homes are interconnected, so when one unit detects smoke, every alarm in the house sounds simultaneously. This is a safety feature, not a malfunction, and it gives everyone in the home the fastest possible warning.
Detectors lose sensor sensitivity after about 10 years and should be replaced. Many older Lakewood homes still have units well past that lifespan, and a hardwired upgrade brings your home in line with current Colorado safety standards.
Yes, we install both types and can wire combination smoke and CO units where appropriate for your layout. Our electricians confirm placement meets Colorado requirements for every sleeping area in your Lakewood home.
