Code Requirements & Placement
Residential Requirements
Texas residential code requires smoke detectors in every bedroom, outside sleeping areas, and on every level of the home. Detectors must be interconnected so all units sound when one detects smoke or fire.
Electrical Standards
Hardwired detectors must be on dedicated circuits with battery backup. All wiring and installation must comply with NEC standards and local electrical codes for safety and reliability.
Proper Placement
Detectors must be ceiling-mounted or high on walls, away from air vents and cooking areas. CO detectors are required near gas appliances, furnaces, and attached garages for maximum protection.
Professional Installation
Licensed electrical installation ensures proper wiring, testing, and documentation. Professional installation is often required for insurance claims and home sales compliance.
