When should I replace my Firex smoke detector?
10 years old
Your detectors are overdue for replacement, according to the National Fire Protection Association, which recommends that you replace detectors when they’re 10 years old. Top-rated security system experts we interviewed say that, over time, dust gathers inside smoke detectors, desensitizing the sensors.
How often should hard wired smoke detectors be replaced?
every 10 years
“Working smoke alarms double the chance of escape from a home fire, so having the constant power supply helps. We caution that every alarm — hardwired, battery-only, or both — needs to be replaced at least every 10 years.”
Can I install different brands of hardwired smoke detectors together?
Absolutely! You can mix and match hardwired First Alert, BRK, and Onelink models. All of our current models use the same wiring harness and connector. We do not recommend mixing different brands since we can only guarantee the performance of First Alert and BRK alarms.
Do all smoke detectors fit the same base?
Screw hole locations vary between detector models, especially if the alarm you want to replace is battery-powered or 10+ years old. Sometimes, you may need to drill new screw holes. Wiring: Current First Alert, Onelink, and BRK alarms use the same wire harness.
