Battery-operated models are cheap and effective. Without hard-wiring, the signal may be missed in parts of the home where smoke is not actually present, costing valuable time in seeking safety. Hard-wired smoke detectors ensure protection and timely alerting in the event of a fire. These units are directly connected to a home’s electrical system and allow the option of inter-connectivity between units; if smoke is detected in one part of the house, units in the rest of the house will activate as well. There are a number of options available and your electrical professional will help you choose the option that is best for you and your home. Hard-wired smoke detector features include:

• Alarms that are more likely to reliably operate when connected to the home’s electricity
• Battery backups to keep the unit functioning when power is lost
• Interconnected units to provide home-wide alerts
