Smoke and CO Alarms on House Power|Laid Out From the Garage to the Bedrooms|Licensed & Insured, EC13011268
Mention whether your garage is attached and how many alarms the house has now.
Two Spring Hill house fires in 2023 and 2025 burned at the garage end of the house and spread overhead into the roof. In a fire like that, the alarms that wake a sleeping house are the ones outside the bedrooms, at the far end, and they only help if they sound when the garage end does.
Call (352) 251-2795, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., or send a request online. Calls after hours are returned the next business day.
Two Garage Fires
Garage Fires That Reached Spring Hill Attics
July 2023: fire at the garage roof
A Spring Hill couple heard lightning hit around 9 p.m. Hours later, in bed, they woke to their smoke alarms, pushed through smoke-filled hallways to get out, and saw flames coming from the roof. Firefighters found fire shooting from the roof of the garage. One of the couple told FOX 13 that without the alarm going off after the lightning hit, they wouldn't have known anything was happening.
September 2025: a garage fire overnight
At another Spring Hill home, a fire started in the garage overnight, spread through the attic, and brought the roof down, WFLA reported. The one person inside got out before crews arrived. Fire Rescue said its preliminary indications pointed to lithium-ion batteries.
In both houses, firefighters found fire at the garage end, and it traveled overhead, away from where people were sleeping. That shapes an alarm layout: an alarm in the hall or room the garage door opens into, wired to the alarms outside the bedrooms, so smoke at the garage end sounds every alarm in the house at once.
We don't install or monitor fire alarm systems or burglar alarm systems.

Estimates
Alarm Estimates for Homes With Attached Garages
We don't do upfront pricing. No job has a standard price with us: each one is tailored to the property and the work you've asked for, and priced once we've seen it.
We offer free estimates on installs, upgrades, and replacements in our service area. Estimates aren't free when the job needs troubleshooting or testing to price, falls after hours or outside our service area, needs several meetings to gather information, or is new construction or a custom remodel with multi-party walk-throughs. For most jobs, estimates arrive by email by the end of the next business day, and quotes are good for 30 days.
Custom homes and large or multi-phase projects are estimated as soon as we can, or on the timeline your project sets.
Our warranty
03If something we installed fails because of our workmanship within 30 days of completion, we waive the hourly labor to put it right. Materials Kennedy Electric purchases for your job carry the manufacturer's one-year warranty. To replace defective materials we supplied, or materials damaged by storm, flood, fire, or other acts of God, we charge a reduced warranty labor rate of $50 an hour residential and $75 an hour commercial. The warranty does not cover materials not purchased by Kennedy Electric, work performed by the customer, or materials the customer purchased or damaged. Our warranty terms are printed on the estimate, the invoice, and the receipt, and the product boxes stay with you so you can register each product with its manufacturer.
