Smoke Detector Installers questions, answered by experts

You should turn off the power when replacing a hardwired smoke detector to ensure your safety while working with electrical connections. To do so, simply locate the appropriate circuit breaker and switch it off. If you’re replacing a battery-operated smoke detector, it’s not necessary to turn off the power. 

There is no “better” option, as it depends on your personal preferences and home’s needs. Wireless systems are much easier to install, making them DIY-friendly. Wired systems offer a more reliable connection that is not tied to a router, but they typically require professional installation.

Contact sensors come in two parts. A magnet is affixed to the window frame, and the trigger is attached to the window itself. Modern designs can be extremely minimal and compact, so they are nearly unnoticeable to residents and visitors alike. Glass break sensors are usually affixed to the window’s glass and are highly visible, which can create a deterrent for would-be intruders.

A study from the University of North Carolina found that security system signs were one of the top ten deterrents for burglars when choosing a target, so they do have some effect. However, you can get into legal trouble for putting up fake signage, so it’s best only to put up signs when you have the alarms to back them up.

A home security system usually houses its battery (or backup battery) within the control panel. That’s the panel where a touchpad and screen can usually be found. Some people place the control panel in a hard-to-reach spot, like a basement or closet, so that it can be cool and dry and hard to find by intruders. If you’re unable to find the battery in your security system, consult your manual or call the manufacturer.
