How we repair your Smoke Detector
A smoke detector is a ceiling or wall alarm with an ionization or photoelectric sensor that sounds when it senses smoke, often interconnected with other alarms. A smoke detector uses sensors, a power source of batteries or low-voltage wiring, a control panel or app, and often a wireless connection. A technician checks power, wiring and transformers, sensors and network connections.

Common Smoke Detector problems we fix
What usually causes each symptom, and what our technician checks to confirm it.
Random alarms at night
- Likely causes
- Dust or insects in the sensing chamber, a dropping temperature weakening the battery, or an aging sensor.
- What our technician checks
- The chamber is cleaned and the unit is tested or replaced if old.
Chirping intermittently
- Likely causes
- A low battery, a backup battery in a hardwired alarm going weak, or an end-of-life signal.
- What our technician checks
- The battery is replaced and the unit age and end-of-life signal are checked.
Alarm does not sound when tested
- Likely causes
- A dead battery, no power at the hardwired base, or a failed horn.
- What our technician checks
- Power at the base and the alarm circuit are tested.
Hardwired alarm has no green power light
- Likely causes
- A tripped breaker, a loose connector on the mounting plate, or a failed alarm.
- What our technician checks
- Voltage at the harness is measured and the connector is reseated.
False alarms when cooking or showering
- Likely causes
- An alarm placed too close to the kitchen or bathroom, steam entering the sensing chamber, or a sensor type not suited to the spot.
- What our technician checks
- Placement and sensor type are reviewed and the alarm is moved or replaced.
All alarms go off together without smoke
- Likely causes
- One faulty alarm triggering the interconnect, or a wiring fault in the interconnect line.
- What our technician checks
- The triggering alarm is identified from its indicator light and the interconnect wiring is tested.
Quick checks you can do safely
- Press the test button on each alarm monthly.
- Replace the battery, including the backup in hardwired units.
- Gently vacuum dust and cobwebs from the vents.
- Check the date on the back and replace alarms past their service life.
- Find which alarm triggered first by its flashing indicator light.
Safety first: Working on hardwired alarms involves household voltage, so turn off the breaker first or call an electrician.

Can you repair my smoke detector the same day?

Should I repair or replace my smoke detector?
