Tahoma smoke detector wiring FAQs
Why does my hardwired alarm keep chirping?
Usually a weak backup battery or an alarm past its ten-year life. Check the date on the back. If it has expired, replacement is the fix.
Can you add hardwired alarms to an older home?
Yes. We run interconnect wiring through the attic where possible, or use alarms that interconnect wirelessly where it is not practical.
My video doorbell keeps going offline. Why?
Most often the old transformer can't supply enough power. We replace it with the correct rating and check the wiring. See smart home wiring.
Do you check alarms during other visits?
Yes. Ask during any service call in Tahoma, or book an electrical inspection for a full safety check.
In customers' words
Smart switches, a video doorbell and new neutrals in a few old switch boxes. Everything works with our app and the old three-way finally makes sense.
Our buyer's inspection flagged a list of electrical items. Bayshore went through each one, told us which actually mattered and fixed them before closing.
I called about one dead bathroom outlet. The electrician found a failed GFCI upstream, replaced it, tested every outlet on the circuit and was gone in under an hour.
