Why it matters
3/5
Home-fire deaths happen where smoke alarms are missing — or not working.
½
A working smoke alarm roughly halves your risk of dying in a home fire.
10yrs
A smoke detector's lifespan. After that it's done — working light or not.
7yrs
The typical lifespan of a carbon monoxide detector.

The permanent fix
End the battery cycle for good.
The detectors we install — First Alert's SM105-AC and the smoke+CO SMICO105-AC combo — are hardwired with a 10-year sealed battery backup. No yearly battery swaps. No ladder in November. No 2AM chirp, for a decade.
When they age out, the unit tells you — and by then you'll have our number.
Colorado law
In Colorado, CO alarms aren't optional. They're statute.
Since 2009, the Lofgren & Johnson Memorial Carbon Monoxide Safety Act has required working carbon monoxide alarms within 15 feet of every bedroom in Colorado homes that are sold, transferred, rented — or remodeled under permit.
If you're not sure your home is covered, that's exactly the kind of thing we check on a basic service visit.

The story behind the numbers.
The news segment Jayson keeps on his homepage — what happens when detectors aren't maintained, told better than any statistic.
The owner
A firefighter's side project, done right.
My name is Jayson Sale. I've spent more than two decades in the fire service here in the Denver Metro area, and in that time I've seen both sides of the same story: the homes where a working detector woke everyone in time — and the tragedies where a missing battery or a worn-out unit meant it never sounded at all.
“Working smoke & carbon monoxide detectors save lives. The rest is maintenance — and maintenance is what we do.”
I started Detector Inspectors LLC to put that experience to work before the emergency: keeping the detectors in your home clean, tested, and in proper working order, at a price that makes it easy to say yes.

Facts worth knowing
Straight answers, fire-service sourced.
- Can I just take the battery out when it chirps?
- That chirp is the detector asking for help. In fires where a smoke alarm was present but never sounded, more than two in five alarms had missing or disconnected batteries — and dead batteries caused another quarter of the failures. Silencing it by unplugging it is how those numbers happen.
- How many detectors should my home have?
- One in every bedroom, one outside each sleeping area, and one on every level of the home — basement included. The NFPA also recommends they be interconnected: when one sounds, they all sound.
- Why does “interconnected” matter so much?
- Smoke — not flame — is what kills most people in home fires, and most fatal fires happen at night. If a fire starts in the basement while you sleep two floors up, the alarm by your bed is the one that wakes you in time.
- How often should detectors be tested?
- The NFPA says test monthly, change batteries when you change your clocks, and replace the whole unit at the end of its life — 10 years for smoke, about 7 for carbon monoxide. Our basic visit covers all of it in one stop.
- Where should CO alarms be mounted?
- Near sleeping areas — Colorado's own statute uses 15 feet from every bedroom door as the rule for covered homes — and on every level. CO is invisible and odorless; the alarm is the only warning you get.
