Keep your family safe with reliable smoke alarms—installed the right way. If your detectors chirp nonstop, are yellowing, or you can’t remember when they were installed, it’s time to act. TJ Handyman Services helps Orlando homeowners in Lake Nona, Winter Park, Dr. Phillips, Windermere, and nearby neighborhoods with fast, professional smoke detector installation and replacement that meets current safety guidance and local rules. We make it simple, affordable, and code-aware so you can sleep better tonight.
Our Smoke Detector Installation & Replacement Services
Hardwired Smoke Alarm Installation & Interconnection:
We install new or replacement hard-wired smoke alarms with battery backup and interconnect them so all units sound together. This provides faster whole-home alerts and aligns with widely adopted placement guidance (bedrooms, outside sleeping areas, and each level).
10-Year Sealed-Battery Alarm Upgrades:
Still using battery-only alarms? Florida requires non-removable, 10-year batteries for newly installed or replacement battery-only smoke alarms. We’ll upgrade you to tamper-resistant, long-life units—ideal for condos, rentals, and aging detectors.
Combo Smoke & CO Detector Installation:
We can install combination smoke and carbon monoxide alarms in the right locations for your layout, especially near garages or fuel-burning appliances. We’ll help you choose UL-listed devices and place them correctly for best performance. (Florida’s 10-year battery rule doesn’t apply to certain interconnected or multi-sensor systems; we’ll advise what fits your home.)
Why Choose TJ Handyman Services
Trusted locally since 2012. We’ve helped Orlando families for over a decade with dependable, detail-focused work. Expect clear communication, honest pricing, and appointments that actually start on time. Our team handles the full process—from choosing the right alarms to clean installation and quick testing—so you don’t have to guess.
Local expertise. Central Florida homes often have open layouts and high ceilings. We place and interconnect alarms so they’re effective across two-story foyers, bonus rooms, and long hallways. When appropriate, we recommend modern 10-year sealed-battery models or hardwired units with battery backup to align with Florida requirements for battery-only replacements.
Benefits of Professional Smoke Detector Installation & Replacement
● Correct placement = faster warnings. Properly placed alarms help catch smoke sooner in
bedrooms, hallways, and on each level.
● Code-aware upgrades. We recommend options that align with Florida’s 10-year sealed-battery
requirement for battery-only replacements, where applicable.
● Whole-home protection. Interconnected alarms alert everyone at once—even across large,
open spaces.
● Peace of mind. Alarms should be replaced every ~10 years due to sensor wear; we label
installation dates and set reminders.

FAQs: Smoke Detector Installation & Replacement Services in Orlando, FL
How many smoke detectors do I need for my Orlando home?
Most homes need alarms inside each bedroom, outside each sleeping area, and on every level (including basements). We’ll confirm the best spots during our walkthrough.
Do I have to upgrade to 10-year sealed-battery alarms?
If you’re installing or replacing battery-only smoke alarms, Florida requires non-removable, 10-year batteries. Hardwired and certain multi-sensor/interconnected systems are exceptions. We’ll advise what applies to your home.
How often should smoke detectors be replaced?
National guidance says every 10 years, because sensors degrade with age. If yours are older—or you’re not sure—let’s check the manufacture dates and replace as needed.
What’s the difference between hardwired and battery-only alarms?
Hardwired alarms draw power from your electrical system and use a backup battery; they can be interconnected so all sound together. Battery-only models are independent; Florida requires 10-year sealed batteries when they are newly installed or replaced.
Can you help property managers meet inspection standards?
Yes. We follow current placement and testing best practices and can provide documentation for your files. We’re familiar with recent HUD/NSPIRE guidance for assisted housing requiring alarms on each level, in bedrooms, and outside sleeping areas.
Will you show me how to test and maintain my alarms?
Absolutely. We’ll demonstrate monthly testing and simple upkeep, and we can set a reminder to revisit when units near the 10-year mark.
