What is happening?
Tell us “chirping,” “old alarm,” “need alarms installed,” “keeps going off,” or whatever you know. Plain language is enough to start.
SMOKE & CO ALARMS
Tell us what the alarm is doing. We handle the rest.
Chirping, expired, missing, damaged, or unsure what needs replacing? Describe it or add a photo. You should not need to identify the alarm technology, wiring, code requirement, mounting location, or right professional before asking for help.
ACTIVE ALARM?
Safety comes before booking.
If a smoke or carbon-monoxide alarm is sounding as an alarm — not merely giving a routine low-battery/end-of-life chirp — get everyone outside immediately and call 911. Do not stay inside to troubleshoot the source. Re-enter only when emergency responders say it is safe.
This emergency guidance follows current U.S. Fire Administration and U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission guidance; it is not a substitute for emergency services.
ONE REQUEST
No alarm-code homework before you ask for help.
A photo can answer a lot
A clear photo of the alarm face and label can help distinguish model, age, power source, and likely replacement path without a questionnaire.
Placement stays behind the scenes
Fixology should determine what placement and coverage rules apply from property context, manufacturer instructions, and applicable requirements rather than asking you to design the alarm layout.
Wiring changes the path
Battery-powered and hardwired alarms are not automatically the same job. Work that requires electrical qualification is routed to the appropriate qualified path instead of improvised.
Smoke and CO are different hazards
We keep the distinction in service classification so you do not have to know which product or combination device fits before starting the request.
Test before calling it done
Installation or replacement should finish with the installed device checked according to its manufacturer instructions. A device on the ceiling is not proof that it works.
Fixology should absorb the complexity, not hand it to the homeowner.
Current U.S. Fire Administration guidance calls for smoke alarms in every bedroom, outside separate sleeping areas, and on every level of the home, while also directing people to local fire officials for applicable alarm requirements. The same guidance says hardwired smoke alarms should be installed by qualified electricians. Fixology can use those facts as routing inputs without turning them into a customer checklist.
Current U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission guidance calls for working smoke and CO alarms on every level and outside sleeping areas, with smoke alarms inside bedrooms, and says alarms should be tested monthly. Those safety facts belong in service classification, property context, and completion checks — not in a form that requires customers to self-engineer the job.
We do not publish placeholder alarm-installation prices or promise availability before the service path is known. Pricing, serviceability, required qualification, scheduling, and provider eligibility remain authoritative decisions behind the request.
Routine replacement or installation? Send a sentence or photo. Fixology can determine the next useful question, if any.
Contact FixologyCOMMON QUESTIONS
Useful answers without asking you to diagnose the system.
My alarm is chirping. Is that an emergency?
A periodic maintenance or end-of-life chirp can be different from an alarm signal, but do not guess when the signal is unclear. If it appears to be an actual smoke or CO alarm, leave and call 911 rather than troubleshooting inside.
Do I need to know whether it is hardwired?
No. A photo of the device and, when safe and already visible, its label can help. Fixology should identify whether electrical work changes the qualified service path.
How old is too old for a smoke alarm?
The U.S. Fire Administration says smoke alarms should be replaced 10 years from the manufacture date. Manufacturer instructions still govern the specific device.
Where should alarms go?
You do not need to design the layout before requesting help. Applicable local requirements, property layout, manufacturer instructions, and the type of alarm should be checked as part of the service path.
Can I just remove the battery if it keeps sounding?
No. U.S. Fire Administration guidance warns against disabling a smoke alarm or removing its battery as a response to nuisance alarms. Resolve the cause or replacement need instead.
What should I send?
A short description plus a photo of the alarm face is usually enough to begin. If another detail materially affects safety or qualification, Fixology can ask only for that detail.
