Where Detectors Are Required

Texas building code and NFPA 72 require smoke detectors in specific locations throughout your home. For new construction and remodels, all detectors must be hardwired with battery backup and interconnected.

  • •Inside every bedroom
  • •Outside each sleeping area (hallway)
  • •On every level of the home (including basement)
  • •CO detectors near gas appliances and attached garages

If you are selling your home, many inspectors and buyers require functioning, code-compliant detectors. C.S.W. Power Solutions provides fast detector upgrades to help your home pass inspection.

Smoke Detectors and Your Electrical System

Hardwired smoke detectors require dedicated wiring from your electrical panel. If your home has older wiring, detector installation is often combined with a whole-house rewire for the most cost-effective approach. Smoke detectors are also a standard part of any remodel or damage restoration project. For maximum home safety, we recommend pairing smoke detectors with surge protection and a standby generator to keep your safety systems running during power outages.

Frequently Asked Questions

Hardwired smoke detector installation costs $100 to $200 per unit including labor and materials. A typical 3-bedroom home requires 5 to 7 detectors. Combination smoke/CO detectors cost slightly more at $125 to $250 per unit. C.S.W. Power Solutions provides a free estimate covering all detectors needed for full code compliance.
Texas building code requires smoke detectors in every bedroom, outside each sleeping area, and on every level of the home including the basement. For new construction and remodels, detectors must be hardwired with battery backup and interconnected so all alarms sound when one is triggered.
Hardwired smoke detectors are connected to your home's electrical system with battery backup. They are more reliable because they do not depend solely on batteries, and they can be interconnected so all alarms sound simultaneously. Battery-only detectors are easier to install but less reliable and cannot be interconnected without wireless technology.
Yes, if your home has any gas appliances (furnace, water heater, stove, dryer), an attached garage, or a fireplace. Texas law requires CO detectors in new construction. We install combination smoke/CO detectors that provide both types of protection in a single unit.
Smoke detectors should be replaced every 10 years, regardless of whether they appear to be working. The sensors degrade over time and become less effective. Check the manufacture date on the back of each detector. If your detectors are older than 10 years or you do not know their age, replacement is recommended.
