Do I need an electrician to replace hardwired smoke detectors?

They are hard-wired into our electrical system, but that doesn’t mean you need an electrician to replace them. Modern hard-wired smoke detectors don’t have wires in the back that need to be connected to loose wires in the ceiling. This connection makes it simple to replace bad or old smoke detectors with new ones.

Do hardwired smoke detectors have to be the same brand?

Absolutely! You can mix and match hardwired First Alert, BRK, and Onelink models. All of our current models use the same wiring harness and connector. We do not recommend mixing different brands since we can only guarantee the performance of First Alert and BRK alarms.

Why is my smoke alarm chirping if it’s hard-wired?
