Wireless Interconnect Alarms

I’m using basic smoke alarms. Why would I switch?

The installation of a fully operational smoke alarm continues to play an integral role in providing homes the best defense against the many dangers attached to undetected smoke. One of the limiting factors of a basic smoke alarm is that it will only alert the surrounding area. This can potentially create a scenario where you may not even hear a smoke alarm sounding off. Think of a basic smoke detector sounding off in a basement. There’s really no guarantee that someone living in a two story home will be able to hear it from their upstairs bedroom. It’s one of the most glaring weaknesses of a standard smoke detector and one that a First Alert Wireless Interconnect Smoke Alarm immediately addresses.

We mentioned the possibility of not being able to hear a basic smoke detector sound off in opposing locations in a home. It’s a doubt that’s removed completely here as interconnected smoke detectors will sound off in unison when triggered.
