With regard to the number and placement of smoke/heat detectors, we subscribe to the recommendations contained in the National Fire Protection Association's (NFPA) Standard #74 noted below.

Early warning fire detection is best achieved by the installation of fire detection equipment in all rooms and areas of the household as follows: A smoke detector installed outside of each separate sleeping area, in the immediate vicinity of the bedrooms and on each additional story of the family living unit, including basements and excluding crawl spaces and unfinished attics.

In addition, the NFPA recommends that you install heat or smoke detectors in the living room, dining room, bedroom(s), kitchen, hallway(s), attic, furnace room, utility and storage rooms, basements and attached garages.

This innovative device is designed to keep you and your loved ones safe by detecting both smoke and harmful carbon monoxide gas, which is odorless and colorless. With its advanced technology and user-friendly design, the FA142C is an excellent choice for ensuring peace of mind.

One of the standout features of the First Alert FA142C is its dual-sensor technology.

The First Alert FA142C also boasts a user-friendly design. The device is battery-operated, requiring no hard wiring, which allows for easy installation in various locations throughout your home. Its low battery chirp alerts you when it's time to replace the batteries, ensuring consistent functionality.

In terms of design, this alarm features a sleek, modern look that can blend seamlessly into any décor. The First Alert FA142C also comes with a five-year limited warranty, highlighting the manufacturer’s confidence in the product’s durability and effectiveness.
