Are smoke alarms in Alberta required to be connected to the mains, or is it possible they share a circuit with something else? I'd prefer not to have to cut the principal power if I can. |
They will typically be on a hallway light circuit I cant remember but I think it is code it's a safety measure so you will know when the circuit is out by trying to turn on the light but I would buy a voltage detector to make sure the circuit is dead before doing any kind of electrical work
