Smoke & CO2 Detectors
Installation and testing of smoke alarms, CO2 detectors, and fire safety equipment using existing wiring.
Smoke and CO2 detectors save lives when they're installed correctly and tested regularly. Our handyman service focuses on battery-powered units and like-for-like replacements on existing junction boxes—always within California's handyman guidelines and without running new electrical circuits. We start by reviewing current coverage, confirming detectors in bedrooms, hallways, and every floor. We'll recommend placements based on code guidance, note any gaps, and flag situations that require a licensed electrician. During installation, we mount detectors on ceilings or high on walls, connect to existing wiring when present, replace batteries, and test each unit. If wiring needs to be extended, junction boxes upgraded, or circuits added, we coordinate with licensed electricians to keep the project compliant.
