Overview

A bedroom hallway or living area wired into household power is where these First Alert alarms belong. Each unit pairs an ionization smoke sensor with an electrochemical carbon monoxide sensor, and a battery takes over if power fails.

The reason to buy is two combination alarms that tie into a wired, interconnected system in a single family home. The limit is the sensor type, which uses ionization smoke sensing, so some homes may prefer a photoelectric model.

Who it's for

A single family residence with a hardwired alarm setup is the situation, including linking to compatible units. Renters without a wired circuit should choose a battery alarm, because these need household wiring.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Smoke and CO in one alarm
  • Battery backup if power fails
  • Interconnects with compatible units
  • Two alarms in the pack
Cons
  • Needs existing hardwired wiring
  • Ionization smoke sensing only
  • Interconnect limited to compatible brands

Performance notes

The ionization sensor reacts to fast flaming fires, and the electrochemical sensor measures carbon monoxide gas in the air. Hardwiring supplies constant power, with the battery as a backup. Interconnecting lets all linked alarms sound together.
