Smoke Detector Wiring FAQs for Velarde
Are hardwired smoke detectors better?
Yes. They run on house power with a battery backup, and when interconnected, every alarm sounds together, which gives more warning.
How often should smoke detectors be replaced?
Every ten years. The manufacture date is printed on the back.
Can you add hardwired alarms to an older Velarde home?
Yes. We run the interconnect wiring through the attic, or use wirelessly interconnected alarms where running cable is not practical.

All of Velarde and the surrounding Rio Arriba County communities, including Embudo, Dixon, and Alcalde.
