Frequently Asked Questions
When should I get my smoke and carbon monoxide detectors replaced?
You should consider replacing your detectors with new models every 7-10 years. Remember to test your detection system regularly to ensure they’re working as expected.

Do I need to get my smoke and carbon monoxide detector hardwired?
Wiring smoke or carbon monoxide detectors into your home’s main electrical source is safe and reliable. Since it doesn't rely on battery power, a hard-wired detector is less likely to fail.
One main advantage is that wired detectors include a backup battery. If there’s a fire in the building the electricity to your home may be cut off. If this happens, the backup battery will kick in to alert you to danger.
Enlist the help of our expert electricians to ensure your detectors work well and are reliable. There’s simply no room for error.
Why are hard-wired detectors better than battery-powered detectors?
Wired smoke and carbon monoxide detectors connect directly to your home's electrical system. They're essential safety devices because they provide continuous protection against fires and carbon monoxide leaks. Unlike battery-powered detectors, wired ones don't need frequent battery changes and can offer 24/7 monitoring for added peace of mind.

Why can’t I just rely on battery-powered smoke detectors?
A hard wire smoke detector is more reliable. Because it's powered by your home's electricity, there's less risk of battery failure. They also interconnect, so if one detects a threat, they all sound an alarm, providing early warning throughout your home.
The problem with batteries is that they quickly drain and should be replaced every 6 months, but we know life gets busy and sometimes homeowners forget to keep up with that replacement schedule.
Are plug-in carbon monoxide detectors okay?
Plug-in carbon monoxide detectors are a popular option, and they don’t require additional wiring. Also, while power loss is often a result of fire, carbon monoxide issues rarely, if ever, cause power outages. Your plug-in carbon monoxide detector is reliable, giving you high confidence and peace of mind when it comes to leak detection.
On the other hand, smoke detectors are best left hard wired or battery powered. Smoke rises in a room, which means detectors need to be located along the ceiling to better protect you.
Where should my carbon monoxide detectors be installed?
Install at least 1 carbon monoxide detector on each floor of the home, including the basement.
Ideally, you’ll want to install a carbon monoxide detector inside or directly outside each bedroom or sleeping area. The effects of carbon monoxide are nearly impossible to detect when sleeping. If it detects CO, the alarm will sound to alert and wake you.
Can I replace my old battery-operated detectors with wired ones?
Yes, you can replace battery-operated detectors with wired ones. This is a worthy project for better safety and convenience. A professional should handle the wiring and junction boxes if your home doesn't already have them.
If you’re sick of replacing batteries, call a Rümi electrician today!
Do I need both smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, or can I use one for both purposes?
Both types of detectors are an essential part of any dwelling. That's because they each detect different hazards!
Smoke detectors are designed to detect fires, by checking the heat and smoke levels in your home. Carbon monoxide detectors are specifically for detecting CO — an odourless, colourless gas. Having both ensures comprehensive protection for your family.
There are dual function detectors available that can test for smoke and carbon monoxide. Ask your installer what options are available for you when you book.
How often should I test and maintain my wired detectors?
Test your detectors monthly by pressing the test button. Clean them regularly to prevent dust buildup. Replace backup batteries at least once a year. It's also a good idea to have them professionally inspected each year to ensure they're functioning correctly.
Do wired detectors have any special features I should know about?
Some wired detectors come with additional features like voice alerts, digital displays, or remote monitoring capabilities. You can choose models that suit your needs and budget.
