Smoke detector wiring in Playas

Smoke detector wiring links every alarm on one circuit with an interconnect wire and battery backup. We place alarms in each bedroom, outside sleeping areas and on every level, and add carbon monoxide alarms where there are gas appliances or an attached garage.

Replacing old or chirping smoke alarms

Smoke alarms expire about ten years after manufacture. We swap old units for new ones, usually with sealed ten-year backup batteries, and fit adapter plugs or new connectors so everything interconnects.

Doorbell wiring and video doorbells in Playas

Doorbell wiring problems usually come down to a dead transformer or a broken wire. We repair wired doorbells, replace transformers and install video doorbells, which typically need a 16 to 24 volt transformer to work reliably.

Time to update alarms or doorbell wiring if

• The alarms are yellowed or over ten years old
• One alarm chirps even with a fresh battery
• Bedrooms have no smoke alarm
• There's a gas furnace but no CO alarm
• The doorbell hums, sticks or has gone silent
