Required for Massachusetts home resale

You can't hand over the keys
until your alarms pass.

Central Mass Smokes installs and certifies the smoke and carbon monoxide detectors Massachusetts fire departments require before a home can change hands, done right the first time, so your closing doesn't wait on a re-inspection.

The Rule

Every level. Every sleeping area. Verified.

Before a Massachusetts home can be sold, the local fire department has to sign off that smoke and carbon monoxide alarms are present, working, and placed where code requires. Sellers arrange the inspection, and the burden is on you, not the buyer.

We handle the part that trips people up: matching the right detector type, whether hardwired, battery, sealed, or interconnected, to your home's build year and layout, then testing and syncing every unit before the inspector shows up.

Miss it, and a closing gets pushed. Get it wrong, and you're paying for a second visit. We aim for a pass on the first inspection.
