Reviewer: Mark Andresky
We have been installing this model in most rooms of our home for many years--always reliable, easy to install, and usually lasts the full 10 years. Very economical as well compared to comparable models from other brands.

Reviewer: Mark Andresky
Have used this model throughout our home for many years. Reliable and easy to install. Small, unobtrusive design makes it less noticeable compared to competitive models.

Finally! Long life batteries - 02/08/2017
Reviewer: Cheryl Kucer
Tried to get these at local hardware stores & could only get three. So I went on first alert website, found the rest that I needed and ordered them. Prices were better than hardware store, easy to order and I got them right away. Very, very happy with first alert.

Reviewer: John Lenzi
Product was received timely as stated. Easy to install and functioned as expected. Convenience of only changing the battery every ten years. However, will continue to check and monitor performance on a regular basis. Have experienced good performance from other First Alert products.

I ordered 3 smoke alarms with the 10 year battery. The frame fit on the existing screw slots & I installed the battery in all in a very short time. Just did my weekly test & it was ok. Im very satisfied.

Good alarm - reasonable price - 03/31/2012
Reviewer: Larry Donohoe
This smoke alarm is easy to install, has long battery life, a mute button, and is plenty loud. Our Fire Dept. is installing them for older folks who have no working smoke alarm, free of charge, with the thought that saving a life is well worth the cost.

#5 - Excellent product - 03/22/2012
Reviewer: Jack Brunson
Excellent service! Very fast delivery! But, best of all the alarms work very well. Had a furnace repair that included torch welding. It set off the alarm that was in the next room. Good and sensitive! Great Product, will not have to change batteries for 10 years - - then throw out the old and get new.

Bought this alarm at the local ace hardware Williams Lumber. I replaced a much older first alert that had just quit. This unit was very simple to install and works exactly as it was described. Whole job took 15 minutes to complete. My next replacement will be the CO detector FirstAlert of course.

The 10 year battery is a wonderful idea. It is very difficult for me to get up on a ladder to change the batteries and now I can relax for a few years. Thank you.

No complaints. They work very well. Worth the price.

Great Service - 10/17/2011

I replaced my last 10 year alarms. I only had one failure in that time frame and you replaced that unit for me.

The order came promptly and was complete. Thanks so much!

- 07/27/2011
Reviewer: Thomas Adams
Havent had an opportunity to actually use them, and hope I never do. But assuming the hold up, the 10 year batteries should be both convenient and a savings over the life of the units.

FLAWLESS SERVICE - 07/12/2011
Reviewer: thomas powell
THIS WAS MY SECOND ORDER WITH FIRST ALERT. THE PROCESS WAS FLAWLESS, THE PRICING WAS GREAT, AND I WOULD NOT CONSIDER CONDUCTING BUSINESS WITH A COMPETITOR.

Good basic alarm - 06/21/2011
Reviewer: Sidney Zafran
This alarm was purchased to replace an older model that is no longer available. The 10-year battery life is an attractive feature. The battery was hard to install. Its polarity was not clearly marked on the unit.

Reviewer: William Wolff
Excellent product-easy to install-I like the long-life battery feature.

Super Easy to Install - 05/16/2011
Reviewer: R Eerp
Super easy to install. Easy to manage when you accidentally set it off with cooking smoke, etc. We are very happy that we will not have to change the battery for so long.

Q: How often do you need to change the batteries?

Actual battery service life depends on the particular design of your smoke or carbon monoxide alarm and the environment in which it is installed. All kinds of alarm batteries specified in the user's manual are acceptable replacement batteries. Regardless of the manufacturer's suggested battery life, you MUST replace the batteries immediately once the unit starts "chirping" (the "low battery warning"). It is recommended that you change the batteries in your alarms when you change your clocks for daylight saving time. Also consider replacing your current alarms with 10-Year Life Alarms that never require a costly battery replacement for the ten year life of the alarm. This 10-Year series is available in smoke, carbon monoxide and combination alarms.

Q: What is the proper placement of smoke alarms?

A: It is important that you have the proper placement for your smoke alarms. Install your alarms at least 20 feet from appliances like furnaces and ovens, which produce combustion particles. Alarms should be at least 10 feet from high humidity areas like showers and laundry rooms, and at least 3 feet from heat/AC vents. Be sure to install a smoke alarm in each bedroom, one at the top of each stairwell, and one on every level.

Q: My smoke alarm keeps chirping and beeping. Why does my smoke alarm chirp intermittently?

A: It is likely that the reason your smoke alarm keeps chirping and beeping is that the battery is low. Whenever your smoke alarm keeps chirping, replace the battery immediately.

Other reasons include: It could be a different device or appliance such as a security system, monitor, carbon monoxide alarm, or other device which has a similar low battery or alert signal. Some of the same factors that cause unwanted alarms can cause intermittent alarms: dust and insects in the alarm or power interruptions in hardwired alarms. Improper wiring on AC or AC/DC smoke alarms. AC alarms will chirp every 5 seconds if the interconnect wire is grounded. The orange interconnect wire should NEVER be grounded; it should only be used to interconnect other smoke alarms or compatible devices.

Q: Why doesn't my smoke alarm sound when I push the test button?

A: It is important that you frequently test your smoke alarms. When you are testing your smoke alarm, there are a number of reasons why the alarm might not sound:

You may not be holding the test button down long enough. Try holding it down for up to 10 seconds (20 seconds on photoelectric models) .
Your battery may not be installed properly or snapped all the way in place. Even if the alarm sounded briefly when the battery touched the terminals, you still need to make sure it is snapped securely in place. If the battery is loose, in cannot power the smoke alarm properly. After installing new batteries, be sure to test your smoke detector.
Your AC power may not be on. AC and AC/DC units will have a power indicator light (red or green) that shines continuously when they are receiving electrical power.
If you have a 10-Year model, the smoke alarm may not have been properly activated. If the tab broke away before the alarm was activated, you can use a toothpick to move the switch over to test the alarm.

Q: Why does my smoke alarm go off when I install a battery or turn on the AC power?

A: It is normal for smoke alarms to go off and sound briefly (up to 5-10 seconds) when you install a new battery or when they are powered up. If the alarm continues to go off and no smoke is present, the cause may be one of the following:

There may be insufficient battery power, try new batteries.
Problems with voltage or insufficient electrical power (brown out) may cause a continuous weak sounding alarm. For AC or AC/DC models, temporarily disconnect power at the service panel until the brown out is over. If you do not restore the AC power, your smoke alarms cannot warn you of a fire.
Incompatible warning device. If an incompatible alarm or auxiliary device is linked into a series of AC or AC/DC smoke alarms it may cause the system inadvertently go off.

Q: My smoke alarm keeps chirping, even with a new battery. What is causing this?

A: There are a number of possible causes for your smoke alarm to keep chirping even with a new battery.

It is possible that your smoke alarm "silence" button was pushed by mistake. The alarm will now "chirp" once a minute for up to 15 minutes before resetting.
Are you sure it's the smoke alarm? Funny to ask, but other devices have similar low battery chirps or warning tones.
Your "new" batteries may not be fresh. If batteries are stored, especially in cold areas like refrigerators, they lose their charge more quickly. Always check the freshness date on the package when buying new batteries. Keep plenty of replacement batteries on hand so that you are sure to always be protected by your smoke alarms.

Q: I lost my First Alert smoke alarm owner's manual. How can I get a new one?

A: First Alert smoke alarm owner's manuals are available online for download at no cost. Find your alarm in our Smoke Alarms section.

Q: Why does the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) recommend that home smoke alarms be replaced after 10 years?

A: Smoke alarms have a limited life. Although each smoke alarm and all of its parts have passed many stringent tests and are designed to be as reliable as possible, any of these parts could fail over time. Therefore, you must test the devices weekly. The unit should be replaced immediately if it is not operating properly. The performance of smoke alarms older than 10 years is simply not reliable. To ensure your family's safety, all carbon monoxide and smoke/CO combination alarms need to be replaced every 5-7 years. All smoke alarms need to be replaced every 10 years.

If it's time to replace your alarms, consider the NEW 10-Year Life series and never have to worry about a battery replacement for the life of the alarm.10-Year alarms are available in smoke,carbon monoxide and combination alarms.
