Absolutely. We specialize in upgrading older battery-only smoke alarms to modern, hardwired, interconnected, and code-compliant safety systems.

Our licensed electricians perform a full conversion, ensuring enhanced safety and adherence to all Florida local codes:

• Hardwired Power: We connect new smoke alarms directly to your home’s 120V electrical system and integrate the required battery backup.

• Full Interconnection: All units are linked so that when one detector sounds, all alarms sound simultaneously, providing maximum warning time.

• Strategic Placement: Installation meets NFPA 72 standards, ensuring every required location is covered (inside bedrooms, outside sleeping areas, and on every level).

• CO Alarm Integration: We seamlessly integrate combination Smoke/CO detectors in homes with attached garages or fuel-burning appliances (a modern code requirement).

 The Upgrade Advantage

Older battery-only units often fail to meet current code for home sales, remodels, or insurance renewals. Hardwired systems offer superior, constant protection and guaranteed code compliance.

New Construction Smoke Alarm Requirements We Handle:

• Hardwired Power – All alarms are hardwired to 120V with battery backup (no battery-only units).

• Interconnection – All alarms are linked so when one sounds, they all sound.

• Required Placement – Installed in each bedroom, outside sleeping areas, and on every floor, including basements.

Battery-only smoke alarms don’t meet code for new builds. We install fully hardwired, interconnected systems with certified 10-year units — and provide documentation for compliance and future replacement.
