Smoke Detector Wiring FAQs for Monument

Are hardwired smoke detectors better?

Yes. They run on house power with a battery backup, and when interconnected, every alarm sounds together, which gives more warning.

Every ten years. The manufacture date is printed on the back.

Can you add hardwired alarms to an older Monument home?

Yes. We run the interconnect wiring through the attic, or use wirelessly interconnected alarms where running cable is not practical.
