Smoke detectors save lives, but only when they are properly installed and up to date. California has some of the strictest smoke detector and carbon monoxide alarm requirements in the country, and many Los Angeles homes, especially older ones in neighborhoods like Sherman Oaks, Encino, and Pasadena, still have outdated or improperly placed detectors. GoldKey Repairs handles smoke detector installation for homeowners across LA and the San Fernando Valley, making sure every unit is mounted in the right location and working correctly.
Under California law, every home must have smoke detectors in each bedroom, outside each sleeping area, and on every level of the home. Since 2014, all replacement detectors in existing homes must be the sealed 10-year lithium battery type or hardwired with battery backup. Additionally, the California Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Prevention Act requires CO detectors in any dwelling with a fossil fuel burning appliance, fireplace, or attached garage. Failing to comply can create issues during a home sale or, more importantly, put your family at risk.
We install all major brands including First Alert, Kidde, Nest Protect, and Google Nest. For homes with existing wiring, we install hardwired interconnected detectors so that when one alarm triggers, every detector in the house sounds simultaneously. For homes without detector wiring, we install high-quality sealed battery units that meet current California requirements. We also install combination smoke and CO detectors that satisfy both requirements in a single unit.
Most whole-home smoke detector installations take one to two hours depending on the number of units needed and whether hardwired connections are involved. A typical three-bedroom home in Los Angeles needs five to seven detectors. We test every unit after installation and walk you through the system before we leave. Whether you are updating detectors for a home sale in Burbank, replacing expired alarms in Glendale, or setting up a new home in Woodland Hills, GoldKey gets it done in one visit.
Proper placement, code compliance, and peace of mind.
Every installation meets current California smoke detector and CO alarm requirements. Correct placement in every required location.

Quick answers about smoke detector and CO alarm installation.
California law requires working smoke detectors in every bedroom, outside each sleeping area, and on every level of the home including the basement. As of 2014, all replacement smoke detectors must be the sealed 10-year battery type or hardwired. When selling a home in Los Angeles, detectors must be installed per current code.
Hardwired smoke detectors with battery backup are the gold standard because they interconnect, meaning when one alarm triggers, they all sound. Battery-only detectors work independently and are easier to install. California requires hardwired detectors in new construction and major remodels. GoldKey installs both types throughout Los Angeles.
