Comprehensive Smoke Detector Services

At Firefly Electrical, we know that one size doesn’t fit all when it comes to fire safety. Different homes require different types of detectors and installation layouts depending on their size, design, and power system. Our experts handle every aspect of installation and maintenance to ensure complete protection.

Our services include:

Smoke Detector Installation

We install hardwired or battery-powered smoke alarms throughout your home, including bedrooms, hallways, basements, and common areas, ensuring proper coverage.

Interconnected Systems

Hardwired smoke detectors that communicate with one another ensure that when one alarm sounds, all others activate—alerting the entire household instantly.

Carbon Monoxide and Combination Alarms

For added safety, we can install dual-function detectors that monitor both smoke and carbon monoxide levels.

Smart Smoke Detectors

Upgrade to smart alarms that send mobile alerts, integrate with home automation systems, and self-test for reliability.

Testing and Maintenance

Routine testing, battery replacement, and device cleaning keep your detectors in top condition.

Smoke Detector Replacement

Outdated detectors lose sensitivity over time. We replace older models (typically over 10 years old) with the latest technology for enhanced safety.
Every installation follows National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) guidelines and local Denver-area building codes. We ensure each unit is correctly positioned to detect early signs of smoke without nuisance alarms from cooking or steam.

Why Professional Installation Matters

While many homeowners assume smoke detectors are easy to install, incorrect placement or wiring can reduce their effectiveness—or render them useless altogether. Working with Firefly Electrical ensures that every alarm is installed safely, powered correctly, and tested thoroughly.

Here’s why choosing professional installation makes all the difference:

Proper Placement

We know where detectors provide the best coverage, such as outside sleeping areas and on every floor of your home.

Code Compliance

Our electricians stay current on NFPA and local regulations to ensure installations meet safety standards.

Reliable Power Connection

Hardwired systems require secure electrical connections and backup batteries for continued operation during power outages.

Interconnected Protection

Professionally installed alarms communicate with each other, ensuring the fastest possible warning in case of smoke or fire.

Peace of Mind

You’ll know your family is protected by a system installed and tested by licensed professionals.

Signs It’s Time to Replace Your Smoke Detectors

Smoke detectors are not meant to last forever. Over time, dust buildup and aging sensors can limit their ability to detect smoke effectively. If you notice any of the following issues, it’s time to call Firefly Electrical for a professional inspection or replacement:

  • Alarms chirp frequently, even after changing the batteries
  • The detector is more than 10 years old
  • Discoloration, dust, or residue buildup on the unit
  • Intermittent false alarms or failure to sound during tests
  • Inconsistent communication between interconnected detectors
Replacing old units with modern, energy-efficient, and smart-enabled devices ensures continuous protection and compliance with current safety codes.

The Importance of Fire Alarm Installation Lakewood

In Lakewood, Colorado, fire alarm installation is not just a regulatory requirement for many types of buildings but also a critical component of occupant safety and peace of mind. Fire alarms provide early warning in the event of a fire, giving residents and employees valuable time to evacuate safely. This is particularly important in commercial spaces or multifamily residences where the presence of a reliable fire alarm system can prevent tragedies.

Local regulations stipulate that all commercial buildings must adhere to specific fire safety standards, including the installation of fire alarms that are interconnected and have battery backup to ensure functionality during a power outage. By working with Firefly Electric, property owners can navigate these regulations easily, ensuring full compliance while enhancing the overall safety of their buildings. Our fire alarm solutions are versatile, designed to integrate seamlessly with other safety systems for a comprehensive approach to fire prevention.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should smoke detectors be replaced?
Smoke detectors should be replaced every 8–10 years. Even if they appear functional, the sensors degrade over time and may fail to detect smoke properly.

Hardwired detectors with battery backup provide the most reliable coverage, but battery-powered units are suitable for homes without wiring access. Firefly Electrical can install either type based on your needs.
The NFPA recommends installing smoke detectors inside every bedroom, outside each sleeping area, and on every level of the home, including the basement.

A persistent chirp usually indicates a low battery or a malfunctioning unit. If new batteries don’t resolve the issue, the detector may need to be replaced.
