Tell the provider whether the detectors are battery-operated or hardwired. Battery units are a straight swap. Hardwired units connect to the home's electrical system — still a handyman job for a like-for-like replacement, but more involved than a battery unit.
Ontario requires smoke detectors on every floor, outside sleeping areas, and inside bedrooms in newer builds. If you are unsure whether your coverage meets code, mention that — a provider installing replacements can confirm placement.
Battery-operated replacement is a simple visit. Hardwired detector replacement is slightly more involved but not an electrician-level job. Tell the provider which type you have.
Most common: replacing detectors that are past their 10-year service life, installing units in a newly purchased home, and multi-unit landlord replacements before a tenant moves in.
Combination smoke/CO detectors are worth asking about if you have gas appliances. If the visit is for a rental property, mention how many units and how many detectors are involved.
Ontario requires smoke detectors on every floor, outside sleeping areas, and inside each bedroom in newer homes. If you are not sure your coverage is complete, mention that — providers doing replacements can confirm placement at the same time.
Detectors have a 10-year service life. If yours are approaching that age or older, it is worth replacing them all at once. Tell the provider how many units and which rooms are involved so they can plan the visit efficiently.
Browse providers, check reviews, and message with the number of units, whether they are battery or hardwired, and what prompted the replacement.
If CO detectors or ceiling fan removal are also part of the visit, mention it — these jobs can easily be grouped in one appointment.

If your project also includes ceiling fixtures, grab bars, or other small home updates, you can go back to the Toronto handyman page and compare broader help before booking.
