| HI!
We are in the market to install new hardwired smoke / co dectectors. Would love to hear feedback on which ones to buy or not to buy. Thank you in advance! |

| We've been using these Kidde dual sensor smoke alarms: Kidde PI2010 Very few false alarms. We use these CO detectors in most of the house: Kidde KN-COP-IC tied in with the smoke detectors. We're happy with them all. |

| You're welcome. |

| Thank you very much Robj for taking the time to let me know about Kidde brand. I'm a little overwhelmed by all the different types out there. Is there a reason why you chose 3 different types to install in your house? Are there ones better for certain areas? Thank you. |

| Actually there are two different types of CO detectors there. The first is a smoke detector. We had the Kidde KN-COP-IC CO detectors on each level of the house and when it came time to replace them (they're good for 7 years) we tried one of the new Kidde KN-COPF-i detectors as, being recessed, it hides better. We liked it so much we installed a second but used the cheaper one in the basement. We do have a third type. Its the Kidde KN-COSM-IB combo smoke/CO detector that speaks the type of alarm: it says fire or carbon monoxide so you know more quickly what potential emergency you are responding to. As everything is hooked into one circuit, they all communicate with each other. |
