Carbon Monoxide Detector Services
Carbon monoxide detectors are as important as smoke detectors, if not more critical. Carbon monoxide detectors alert you to the presence of potentially deadly gas. Because carbon monoxide is colorless and odorless, it’s vital to have a reliable method to detect it. Poorly functioning electric fireplaces, gas furnaces, stoves, ovens, water heaters, heaters, and dryers can all be possible sources of carbon monoxide.
Denver Home Repair provides carbon monoxide detector services and can install them as part of your other smoke detector systems. Keep your family safe from smoke and carbon monoxide with the proper installation and maintenance services.

Smoke Detector Service FAQs
You aren’t alone if you’re a homeowner with questions about smoke detector services. Check out our answers to frequently asked questions we receive.
How do you service a smoke detector?
The best way to service a smoke detector is to call a professional. Experts like Denver Home Repair are trained in smoke detector installation and repair and know local fire and building codes to ensure the job is done correctly. Don’t risk your safety with DIY smoke detector services.
What are NFPA 72 requirements for smoke detectors?
NFPA 72 offers guidelines for the installation and use of smoke detectors. In addition to installation requirements, NFPA 72 discusses smoke detector power sources, testing, maintenance, and special conditions. Guidelines provided include:
- Install smoke detectors in every sleeping area, hallways outside sleeping areas, on every level of the home, and at the bottom of stairways leading up from the basement.
- Install smoke detectors on the ceiling at least 4 inches from walls or on walls 4 to12 inches from the ceiling.
- Don’t install smoke detectors near windows, doors, or ducts.
- Test smoke detectors monthly using the test button.
- Regular maintenance must be performed, and batteries must be replaced at least once a year or when a low battery is detected.
How often should I replace smoke detectors?
Smoke detectors should be replaced every 10 years – even if they work correctly. Over time, the smoke detector sensors can degrade, making them less effective. Contact a service professional to ensure the smoke detectors in your home are replaced properly.
Do smoke detectors need maintenance?
Yes, smoke detectors need regular maintenance. Each month, you should test them by pressing the test button to see if the alarm sounds as it should. Every year, replace the batteries and clean the detector. Most importantly, have a service professional replace your smoke detectors with a new model every 10 years.
How do I stop a chirping smoke detector?
A chirping smoke detector likely indicates that the battery is running low. Replace the battery to stop the chirping and restore regular operation. If your smoke detector is hardwired, this could indicate an issue with the power source and require electrical services. Don’t leave your safety up to chance and all a service professional for a full inspection.
Is a beeping smoke detector an emergency?
Yes. Address a beeping smoke detector as soon as possible. It indicates that the unit’s battery is low, and the power source could deplete if you don’t replace it. When fully depleted, a smoke detector cannot alert you to smoke or fire, creating a dangerous scenario for your home.
Should smoke detectors be on the wall or ceiling?
Smoke detectors can be installed on your wall or ceiling. If installing on a ceiling, ensure it’s placed at least 4 inches from the nearest wall, and for vaulted ceilings, within 3 feet of the highest point. When installing on a wall, place the smoke detector 4 to 12 inches from the ceiling.
Where should smoke alarms not be placed?
You should not place smoke detectors in the following locations:
- In bathrooms or humid areas
- In corners or close to walls
- In kitchens or near stoves
- In unfinished spaces, such as attics
- Near air vents or ducts
- Near light fixtures
- Near windows and doors
How far should a smoke detector be from a bathroom door?
You should install smoke detectors at least 10 feet away from bathroom doors. Humid air from showering or bathing can cause smoke detectors to signal false alarms or become damaged.
Should every room in a house have a smoke detector?
Ideally, every room in your home should have a smoke detector. Most fire codes emphasize installing detectors within all sleeping areas and in hallways outside sleeping areas. Contact your local Mr. Handyman for expert advice on installing your smoke detector system.
