Smoke Detector and Doorbell Wiring questions from Valley Center customers
Where do smoke alarms need to be?
In every bedroom, outside each sleeping area and on every level of the home. Carbon monoxide alarms go outside sleeping areas and on each level when there are fuel-burning appliances or an attached garage.
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.
What customers say
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.
A 1940s house with original wiring. They rewired it room by room so we could keep living there, and labeled the new panel so clearly even I can read it.
