Your cart is empty.The FIRST ALERT SC7010B Hardwired Combination Photoelectric Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarm with Battery Backup delivers both smoke and carbon monoxide detection in a single unit. Equipped with a photoelectric sensor and Optipath 360 technology, the alarm detects smoke produced by smoldering fires while keeping false alarms to a minimum. The unit also features an advanced electrochemical sensor that detects carbon monoxide leaks from multiple sources such as faulty fuel-burning appliances and blocked chimneys. If a threat is detected, the alarm emits a spread spectrum horn tone that is designed to be heard by people with age-related hearing loss. Made to be hardwired directly into the electrical system of your home or facility, this 120-volt hardwired smoke detector features a backup battery that helps keep the alarm functioning even in the event of a power outage. The alarm's perfect mount system allows for easy installation and alignment, while its low battery latch gives a visual indication if the battery is running low. And thanks to the convenient test/silence button, it is easy to check alarm function and mute false alarms. Faster turnarounds on job sites with the easy-to-install, most-trusted alarms in home safety

I didn't know there was such a thing in residental as having a hardwired smoke detector, until I pulled one down in the house and found 120VAC wiring. I just bought a 6 pack of battery powered ones. Well, drawing board. Found this, ordered this, installed it super easily; replacing the adapter ring and as mine was at a junction box, it was just a matter of loosening the screw and sliding this in place; then tighten it back up, then swapped the wiring easily as well, with the new wire nuts provided.Easy.Testing it, it's interesting hearing the lower pitch this goes off with. Every room has a detector so if the house actually does catch fire or have a CO issue, it'll be a harmony of concerns.One of the ratings item is 'accuracy' - not sure how to vote that one...lol...hope I never do!

The smoke/carbon monoxide detector in my cellar right next to my furnace hadn't been replaced in 15 years before I bought the home. If there's going to be a place where carbon monoxide or smoke is present it'll be right there. So this worked really well. Was easy to install, test, and has a battery backup.

Overall, a very good unit, physically not obtrusive or annoying, just hangs on the wall watching for signs of a fire or high CO levels...barely notice it is there, until it goes off, but that's the purpose of its existence :-)Had an ionizing detector in our bedroom, kept going off whenever toast was burned in the kitchen on other side of house, LOL. (Full disclosure, we previously changed out the kitchen's to CO-only unit because smoke detection was not recommended in that zone, and it was a pure nuisance if doing anything beyond reheating something in the microwave...) After visiting the manufacturer's website, we found they recommended a photoelectric detector for bedrooms anyhow. Ordered this model because we have BRK/First Alert hardwired detectors in our house already, so their wiring plug was in place. Mounting base had to be changed, they are keyed by size to specific detector types so once installed, you don't rehang wrong type detector in the wrong area if you take any down for whatever reason...painting walls a different color is a good example of why one might temporarily remove a smoke detector.Really like the new broad spectrum sound for warnings, much easier on ears in general. Designed to not overload hearing aids yet still be detectable for people with hearing impairment. Can't couch for that part, but I can focus on getting safely out of my house when we do fire drills, instead of trying to cover my ears to stop the piercing pain, so it's a win for us :-)Safety advice: smoke detectors have a 10 year working life, and should be replaced accordingly per NFPA and BRK/First Alert's recommendations. With that, the first couple detectors we ordered on Amazon (specifically, from Amazon Warehouse Deals) were apparently rather old stock, having 2 and 3 years remaining before "expiration" and were each returned to Amazon with return comments that the respective unit was nearing end of NFPA's recommended effective life, should not be sold as "like new" when instead were *very old* stock -- 3rd one was a keeper, had a 2019 mfr date -- so word to the wise, check those dates for your own safety!

Very good product. Installed and works great - very loud which is just what I was looking for. Just came through a house fire which started in the garage. This is great for the house but we are still looking for a fire alarm that can be installed in the garage and which has monitors for inside the house. Any ideas?

Delivered on time. Excellent quality. Easy to install. Might consider a bit pricey, but the life of my family is priceless! I feel good knowing that this product is installed.

We just moved into a newly built home that has the required hardwired smoke detectors throughout. Of course the builder just used a contractors pack of ionization alarms, including one just 10 ft from our kitchen. Two months in, and the alarm has gone off every time we open the oven. No visible smoke. Just heat and cooking vapours. That clearly wouldn’t do so we got this photoelectric alarm instead. It works great. No more false alarms from the oven. It clipped right in to the wiring from our BRK alarm, though I did have to loosen the two screws and switch the bracket. 5 minutes work. The fact that it is also a CO detector is just an added bonus. I only removed a star because I feel it could be priced better.

Almost a year ago now, I ripped out all of the smoke and CO detectors in my house. I replaced them all with hard-wired detectors during a home remodel in accordance with NFPA guidelines (e.g. one in every sleeping quarter, gathering area, outside the door of every sleeping area, bottom/top of every stair, etc). The hard part was crawling around in unfinished areas of the house to run wire everywhere: once I had 12/3 NM-B in every ceiling box, wiring up these detectors was quick and easy.Each detector has a base that screws onto the junction box. It is a plastic flange that covers a quarter inch or so around the box, helping to mask the edges of the paint job or any irregularities in the drywall cutting. The wire hardness snaps into the detector, which then twists onto the flange. It comes with a label where you can write the data of install for future reference. It looks great compared to your Home Depot special, where you are lucky to get more than two that are compatible with each other.So far I have had zero false alarms after 8+ months of being installed. They have done better than the old ones that nuisance tripped by frying bacon - and the new ones are installed close to the old ones. Hitting the test button, they all go off within a second or two and are LOUD. They could wake the dead, which is important because I may as well be dead when I am sleeping. A train could smash its way through the house and I would not wake up. These things are loud enough to make my ears hurt more than a rock concert. I have burned a few candles near them and they have not triggered, but have not tried with actual fires, e.g. burning a 2x4 close by.It seems like smoke detectors have gone downhill lately, but these seem to work well enough based on my own observation and on other reviews.
