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

Cost to install hardwired smoke and carbon monoxide detectors?
Q. What's an average price to pay for an electrician to install 2 hardwired smoke detectors and 1 carbon monoxide detector in a small single family house in Baltimore, MD. Price should include parts...my property manager just had this done and is "fighting the bill" without even letting me know what they are even trying to charge. I just want to have some insight into what a fair licensed electrician would charge before I have to have this fight with him.
I wasn't there when they installed them so I'm not sure how long it took, but I know they were done in a day. $150/hr is insane .... They installed them in places that didn't have detectors so I'm assuming they had to run new wire.

Answer
The answer would depend on if he used existing wiring or had to string new wiring as an electrician charges by the hour. Hoe long did it take him to finish it from start to finish.
Also if he is in a union the cost will be higher. Take the time he used and multiply it by his hourly fee which is probably about $150. An hour plus the cost of anything he used like the wires, marettes and the unit being installed.
