How We Think About The Work
Hardwired Vs Battery-Only
Every home has different wiring, load demands, access, and code requirements. Spark Shark Electric keeps the visit focused on the actual problem, the available options, and the written scope before work begins.
Interconnected
Means when one detector trips, every detector sounds. Critical in larger homes, a basement smoke detector tripping won't wake someone upstairs unless they're interconnected.
10-Year Sealed Lithium
Battery-only models are an option for retrofits where running new wire isn't feasible, they meet code for replacement in many cases.

FAQ
Common Questions
How often should I replace smoke detectors?
Every 10 years, regardless of whether the test button still works. The sensor degrades. The manufacture date is on the back of the unit.
Can you interconnect older detectors?
Sometimes. Depends on whether the existing wiring includes the third (interconnect) conductor. We check during the visit.
Do I need carbon monoxide detectors?
If you have any gas appliances, a fireplace, or an attached garage, carbon monoxide detectors are required by Oklahoma residential code near every sleeping area.
Are combination smoke/CO detectors okay?
Yes. They're a good option for placement near sleeping areas and meet both requirements with a single unit.
