Hey everyone
I'm moving to a new apartment in Montgomery County (Maryland) and I want to get a new smoke/carbon monoxide detector. I never bought one before and I have no idea which brand is good or anything...
My new house already has a wired smoke detector and I kind of want to upgrade it. It's a one story three-bedroom condo (1000 square feet) and it uses electricity except for the water heater which uses natural gas.
I read a lot of reviews and I know I want to have both smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector. I also want to use hard wire devices with backup battery. I want a smoke detector with dual sensor (Ionization + Photoelectric).
I looked at amazon.com and I found out that all the combo devices (smoke/carbon) only uses Ionization sensors and there isn't any combo device that uses dual sensors for the smoke.
So, in your experience, should I buy two separate detectors (1 dual-sensor smoke + 1 carbon monoxide) or should I only buy a combo detector (smoke/carbon) with a regular Ionization sensor and just forget the Photoelectric sensor?
Also, can you suggest a brand that you know is good?
I don't really care about the price and my main concern is safety.
I really appreciate your helps and suggestions

Answer
replace the battery, if its electric it proubly has a battery back up if you loose power. FEMA recommends that you repace smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors every 5 to 7 years. and check them monthly.
co2 does not have an odor and is very dangerous especially to children in small pars and can and will kill!!!
they are so very important,.co2 detectors. the best are the talking alarm type because children and some adults ignore alarms but respond well to voices with an alarm
