The Alarms You Cannot Reach, Handled

The smoke alarm over a two-story foyer is the one that goes ignored until it chirps. We bring the ladder, change the battery, press the test button, and make sure it is actually protecting the house, not just hanging there.

We Flag Alarms That Are Past Their Life

A fresh battery does nothing for an expired alarm. U.S. fire-safety guidance says to replace a smoke alarm about ten years from the date on the back, so while we are up there, we check the date and tell you which ones are due for a new unit.

Why a Chirping Alarm Is Worth a Call

A dead or missing battery is the most common reason a smoke alarm fails to sound in a fire. Pulling the battery to stop the chirp and forgetting it is the exact mistake that leaves a home unprotected. Getting every alarm freshly powered and tested is a small job that protects the people inside.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should smoke alarm batteries be changed?

For alarms with replaceable batteries, U.S. fire-safety guidance says to change the battery at least once a year and test the alarm every month. Many people pair it with the clock change so it is easy to remember.

When should the whole smoke alarm be replaced?

Smoke alarms should be replaced about ten years from the manufacture date printed on the back of the unit, regardless of battery type. Sealed ten-year alarms are replaced as a whole unit, not re-batteried.

Can you reach detectors on high or vaulted ceilings?

Yes. High foyer and vaulted-ceiling alarms are exactly the ones people skip. We bring the ladder and safely change and test the ones you cannot reach.

What other batteries do you replace?

Carbon monoxide alarms, doorbells and video doorbells, thermostats, keyless-entry locks, garage remotes, and other hard-to-reach or fiddly home devices. If it chirps or dies and you would rather not deal with it, we will.

Do you replace the alarm if it is expired?

Yes. If a smoke or CO alarm is past its service life, a fresh battery is not enough. We can install a new alarm so you are actually protected.
