I have an old security system in my house that hasn't worked in years. But, there is still power to the system. I would like to remove two smoke detectors. But, I just used a voltage checker and found there are two hot wires.

I like to do home improvement, but I don't know much about electricity. How do I turn off power to the system (in my garage)? I assume it isn't as easy as flipping a breaker. I also assume I shouldn't be touching the hot wires.

Any pearls of wisdom you would like to share?
