Smoke & CO Detector Installation in Shreveport, LA

Hardwired smoke & CO detector installation in Shreveport

Smoke alarms cut the risk of dying in a home fire roughly in half — but only if they're located correctly, interconnected, and not past their 10-year replacement date. Ed's Electric installs hardwired, interconnected smoke and combination smoke/CO detectors throughout Shreveport, Bossier City, and the surrounding parishes, following current NFPA 72 and Louisiana residential code requirements: one inside every sleeping room, one outside each sleeping area, and at least one on every level of the home including the basement.

Interconnection is the part most homeowners don't know about. When detectors are interconnected — either by a third hardwire conductor or by listed wireless interconnect — every alarm in the house sounds when any single unit detects smoke. A fire that starts in the garage at 3 a.m. wakes the people sleeping at the opposite end of the house. We can interconnect new construction during rough-in, retrofit existing hardwired homes, and add wireless-interconnect units in older homes where pulling a third wire isn't practical.

Combination smoke/CO units are required outside sleeping areas in any home with attached garages, gas appliances, fireplaces, or fuel-burning heaters — which covers most homes in this area. We also handle commercial life-safety wiring, real-estate inspection repair lists, and batch replacements when the units in an older home have all hit their 10-year expiration at the same time.
