Smoke detector installation in Metro Detroit: what to expect
Hardwired, interconnected smoke alarms sound together, so an alarm in the basement wakes people upstairs. They run on house power with battery backup. Many older Metro Detroit homes still rely on a few battery units, or on hardwired alarms past the replacement date printed on the back.
Carbon monoxide alarms matter in homes with gas furnaces, water heaters, fireplaces and attached garages. Combination smoke and CO alarms cover both with one device per location.
The job is usually replacing old hardwired units with compatible new ones, adding alarms in bedrooms and hallways, and linking them wired or wirelessly.
What a proper job includes
- A walk-through to map required and recommended alarm locations
- Replacing expired hardwired alarms with compatible units
- Adding smoke alarms in sleeping areas and on each level
- CO alarms near bedrooms and where fuel-burning appliances or attached garages are present
- Interconnection, wired or wireless
- Testing every alarm and showing the owner how to silence and test
What drives the price
- Number of alarms and levels in the home
- Replacing existing hardwired units versus adding new locations
- Hardwired interconnect versus wireless interconnect
- Smoke only versus combination smoke and CO alarms
- Plaster ceilings and attic access for new wiring
- Whether the work is part of a larger permitted renovation

Permits and licensing in Michigan
Replacing hardwired alarms on existing boxes is generally treated as minor work, while adding new hardwired locations is new wiring that needs an electrical permit from the enforcing agency for your address (the state, county, city or township; in Detroit, BSEED). Under Michigan law (MCL 125.1504f), new homes and renovations of existing single-family homes that require a permit must have carbon monoxide devices near bedrooms and in areas next to attached garages and fuel-burning appliances.
Michigan licenses electrical contractors, master electricians and journeyman electricians through LARA's Bureau of Construction Codes. Check the company's electrical contractor license on the LARA lookup before you sign.

Yes, in new homes and when an existing single-family home is renovated under a permit, near bedrooms and next to attached garages and fuel-burning appliances.
Usually not on one interconnect. Most systems only link reliably with compatible models from the same maker.
A chirp usually means a low battery or an alarm at end of life. Replace the battery or the unit if it is past its date.
