A hard-wired smoke detector in the home draws power from your circuit breaker panel. In contrast, a battery-operated smoke detector will be self-contained and won't have any exterior wiring. Hard-wired detectors have two installation methods. Each is user-friendly when it comes to disconnecting the wires from the smoke detector.
- Set a ladder beneath the smoke detector, if applicable. Make sure the ladder is on a firm and level surface and that the weight requirements have not been exceeded. Climb the ladder to get the smoke detector within a comfortable reach.
- Confirm whether the smoke detector is battery-operated or hard-wired. Grasp the detector in your hand and twist the unit in a counterclockwise rotation. This will free the body of the detector from the mounting bracket. Gently pull it away from the bracket when it is free. If there are no wires connecting it to the ceiling or wall, it is a battery-operated unit and there are no wires to be removed. If there are connecting wires, it is a hard-wired unit and the wires can be disconnected.
- Dismount from the ladder and flip the circuit breaker switch that controls the smoke detector. If there is no obvious marking on the panel that designates a switch for the detector, throw the main breaker to the 'Off' position.
- Mount the ladder, and ensure that the power to the smoke detector has been shut off by using a noncontact circuit tester.
- Inspect the detector wires. Depending on the type of detector you have, the wires will either be connected with a plug and socket or they will be connected with wire nuts.
- Press a small screwdriver against a retaining tab on the plug-and-socket type of connection. The tab will jut out slightly from one side of the plug or the other. The plug will release from the socket.
- Unscrew the wire nuts from the wires if they are connected that way. When a wire nut is unscrewed, pull the two wires apart that were joined by the wire nut. Then screw the nut back onto the wire that leads out from the ceiling or the wall. Do this with each wire that has been nutted.

Things You Will Need
Tip
If you are replacing the detector, you must use a similar brand that connects in the exact same way that the old one did. The plug socket must be identical to the original or the plug from the wall or ceiling will not fit.
