What North Texas Homeowners Say About Our Safety Installations
Real reviews from real customers — smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and safety system installations across Collin County.
ABR installed hardwired smoke detectors throughout our new home. All interconnected so when one goes off, they all sound. Gives us peace of mind knowing our family is protected. Professional installation!
Needed carbon monoxide detectors installed near our bedrooms and garage. ABR explained the code requirements and installed everything properly. Great service and very knowledgeable!
Our old battery-powered smoke detectors kept chirping. ABR upgraded us to hardwired detectors with battery backup. No more middle-of-the-night chirping! Excellent work.
Home inspection required additional smoke detectors to meet code. ABR came out quickly, installed them all, and we passed inspection. Fast, professional, and affordable!
Upgraded to combination smoke/CO detectors in every bedroom and hallway. ABR handled all the wiring and interconnection. Now we have complete protection throughout the house!
Heat detector installed in the garage as required by code. ABR was knowledgeable about the different detector types and installed it perfectly. Very professional service!
Replaced all our old smoke detectors with new 10-year sealed battery models. ABR was efficient, clean, and tested every detector before leaving. Highly recommend!
Home addition required new smoke detectors to pass inspection. ABR installed them quickly and we passed on the first try. Great communication and fair pricing!
Smart smoke detectors installed that connect to our phone. ABR set everything up and showed us how to use the app. Love the peace of mind when we’re away from home!

Frequently Asked Questions
Where are smoke detectors required by code?
Texas fire code requires smoke detectors in every bedroom, outside each sleeping area, and on every level of the home including basements. They must be interconnected so when one sounds, all sound.
What’s the difference between ionization and photoelectric detectors?
Ionization detectors respond faster to flaming fires. Photoelectric detectors respond faster to smoldering fires. Dual-sensor detectors combine both technologies for comprehensive protection.
Should I get hardwired or battery-powered detectors?
Hardwired detectors with battery backup are more reliable and required by code in new construction and major renovations. They never lose power and don’t require regular battery changes (except backup battery).
How often should smoke detectors be replaced?
Smoke detectors should be replaced every 10 years. The sensors degrade over time and become less effective at detecting smoke.
