A smoke detector apparatus that provides a generally continuous supply of electrical power to a smoke detector unit. The apparatus provides flexibility in locating the detector unit while still generally maintaining uninterrupted access to electrical power. In various forms, the apparatus allows for mounting of a smoke detector unit remote from an electrical wall outlet. Generally uninterrupted power from the electrical system of a home or building to the smoke detector unit may be provided by way of an integral mounting plate, blocking member, and/or outlet covers.
