Smoke Detector Installation Services
Hardwired and Interconnected Detectors
Many Cresskill homes require 120V hardwired detectors with interconnection. When one unit sounds, all units sound. This offers stronger protection for families and meets code in newer or renovated homes.
Ten Year Sealed Battery Alarms
New Jersey requires sealed battery models during resale and occupancy changes for homes without hardwired systems. We install approved units with long lifespan and reliable performance.
Smoke and CO Combo Units
These dual-function detectors protect against smoke and carbon monoxide at once. We install them in hallways, basements, and areas near fuel burning appliances.
Smart Alarms
If you want app alerts and advanced features, we install Nest Protect and other smart models that integrate with your home network.
Placement and Replacement Guidelines
Where Your Smoke Detectors Should Be
We install detectors in the locations recommended by NFPA and required by New Jersey:
- Inside every bedroom
- Outside each sleeping area
- On every level of the home
- In basements
Units are placed away from drafts, fans, or cooking appliances to reduce nuisance alarms.
When Detectors Should Be Replaced
Most smoke detectors need replacement every ten years. Hardwired models age out as well and often fail town inspections. If your detector is chirping or has a date over a decade old, it is time to replace it.
