Smoke detectors come in two different options: hardwired or battery-operated. While hardwired units are attached directly to the home’s electrical system, a battery-operated smoke detector only needs a simple battery for operation and can be placed virtually anywhere in your home. Some homeowners may mistakenly think their battery-operated units are hardwired in because all their units are interconnected, but many battery-operated units can operate within a smoke alarm network in your home.

Properly installed lights should not pose a threat and often have heat sensors installed in them that turn the light off if the temperature gets too high.

DIY cleaning is possible, but professionals ensure thorough soot removal and check for hazardous creosote buildup.
