How to Install a Smoke Detector | Repair and Replace

In this episode of Repair and Replace, Vance shows how to install a smoke detector or carbon monoxide detector. Both smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors needed in order to keep your home safe and should be replaced every 10 years. The batteries on battery powered fire alarms should be replaced yearly as part of regular maintenance. If the smoke alarm is chirping or beeping regularly, then its a sign that the batteries need to be replace or a new smoke detector is needed.

Do you have to turn off the power at the box? I can’t find the detectors in the box.

I have a old smoke dector and it kept beeping when I was making something to eat a few weeks back.

However I can not get in back in because I ended up pulling it out of the wall.

But can not get it back in there.

If the wire connector for my new alarm is the same as the old connector should I just use the old connector in there or replace the connector just to have a newer one? The current connector is eight years old when house was built.
