Smoke Detector Installation & Repair
Review missing, expired or unreliable smoke alarms and plan suitable replacements. Repair work concerns identifiable supply or connection faults; an expired or defective alarm is replaced rather than treated as a reusable sensing device.

Common questions
An expired or defective alarm should be replaced. The service can assess supply or connection faults, but it does not promise to restore worn-out sensing components or extend the manufacturer's replacement date.
No. Power and interconnection are separate features. The actual models, wiring or supported wireless connection must be checked before confirming that all alarms will sound together.
Do not assume that is a suitable substitution. Existing installation requirements, any renovation obligations, power and interconnection functions must be checked before choosing replacement devices.
