No. In most cases all you will need is a screwdriver. Many brands are self-adhesive and will automatically stick to the wall or ceiling where they are placed. However, be sure to follow the directions from the manufacturer because each brand is different. If you are unable or not sure what to do, contact your local fire department for information.

A. No. To install a battery powered smoke alarm, all you need is a screwdriver and a drill. Hydro powered smoke alarms need a dedicated circuit wired directly to the electrical panel in the home. An “on/off” switch should not be installed on the smoke alarm and the electrical panel. An electrician should install these Hydro-powered smoke alarms.
