Why Should I Have a Combination Alarm?

It's up to you! Choosing between separate smoke and carbon monoxide (CO) alarms or a combination alarm is a personal decision. If the building code requires both smoke and CO alarms, it might be easier and more cost-effective to install a single combination alarm.

Combination alarms also save space in your home and simplify maintenance, as you only need to test and change batteries in one device rather than two. This convenience can make it easier to ensure your alarms are always functioning properly, providing peace of mind and enhanced safety for your household.
