How do I install a hardwired smoke/carbon monoxide detector in my home?




maltesefal


At times, the present detector's alarm sounds for no reason and must be replaced. I'd like to do it myself and avoid the expenses of a professional. I know how to shut off the electricity at the site and have all necessary tools.


Answer
Call an electrician if you mess up the detector will not work this could be very dangerous. It isn't like wiring a light if you mess up a light it just wont work you mess up this and the smoke will fail to sound during a fire.

If you don't know how to do it how do you know you have the tools you need.


********"Hi i am glad to me you" has no clue what he is taking bout there in no positive or negative wiring in a house. Electrical tape is almost never to be used for a permanent connection it will dry out with age and loose it adhesive leave the wire exposed to arcing and become a fire hazard. In the rare case tape is use for a permanent connection(burndies for very large wires in industrial setting) it is a special fat rubber tape that you will not find at home depot a roll is about $10 and an entire roll is used for just one connection making a ball of tape about the size of a baseball

Many code rules in play here smoke placement using 14-3 not 14-2 all smokes must be on an arc fault breaker

this is NOT a do it yourself type project

My Kidde hardwired smoke detector keeps beeping, what should I do?

Q. My Kidde hardwired smoke and carbon monoxide detector just recently has started chirping/beeping every minute or so. I have done extensive research, and I'm not getting any answers that are applicable.

I replaced the battery several times, and the beeping continued. The detector was installed last year, so is not too old, and I even flicked the breaker switch on and off... Nothing works.

Please help me out here.


Answer
These units are problematic. You probably should just replace it. At least you will have some peace of mind.
