Kidde Hardwired Smoke & Carbon Monoxide Detector - 2 Pack with Voice Alerts
Condition: Open Box
This Kidde Hardwired Smoke & Carbon Monoxide Detector 2-pack brings advanced voice alerts and LED indicators for reliable home safety. Compact but powerful, these detectors offer dual smoke and carbon monoxide protection for peace of mind every day.
The Kidde Smoke & Carbon Monoxide Detector set is new in box, untested, and ready to install. Each detector uses 120V AC power for steady operation. Even if the power goes out, 2 AA batteries ensure non-stop protection. Hardwired power paired with battery backup means your home is never left vulnerable. These detectors respond fast to real threats. Modern technology helps reduce false alarms from everyday activities, like cooking. You get notices only when there is genuine danger, keeping your family calm and reducing interruptions.
Clear voice alerts quickly announce \"Fire!\" if smoke appears. If carbon monoxide rises, the detector says \"Warning! Carbon Monoxide!\" This simple and loud notification makes it easy to identify the type of emergency. You can respond without guessing. LED indicators let you double-check alarm status at a glance. A steady green light means normal. Amber points to an error. A bright red alerts you to smoke or carbon monoxide. These lights add extra security on top of the sound and voice warning.
These Kidde detectors work together through interconnect capability. If one alarm is triggered, all linked alarms sound throughout your house. This system is ideal for larger homes or multilevel properties, so everyone gets notified at the same time. No matter where you are, you'll be warned. Installation is straightforward. The twist-and-click bracket mounts fast and secure to walls or ceilings, and the compact 5-inch profile fits neatly anywhere. These units blend with home decor and do not stand out.
The detectors automatically test their own components while in use. Built-in diagnostics run silently, so you know the system is always working. Even so, a manual weekly test using the front button is recommended for peace of mind. Young children, elderly family, or guests will appreciate the clear alerts and simple visual feedback.
Reliability is paramount. This model meets rigorous UL 217 9th Edition and UL 2034 4th Edition standards. It also passes FCC compliance testing. These certifications are your assurance of durability and performance in all conditions.
You get a full 10-year limited warranty on each detector. The warranty begins as soon as you power up the alarm and lasts for a decade. This gives you long-term protection and value.
Selecting the Kidde Hardwired Smoke & Carbon Monoxide Detector 2-pack shows you care about home safety.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
-
Question: How often should I replace the backup batteries?
Answer: Replace the 2 AA alkaline batteries every six months, or sooner if you hear a chirp indicating low battery. This ensures your detectors stay active even in a blackout. Not replacing the batteries means the backup system can't work in emergencies, so regular checks and battery swaps are essential for continuous safety. -
Question: Can these detectors interconnect with other brands?
Answer: Kidde detectors are made to connect with other compatible Kidde products. Connecting with other brands is not guaranteed to work, because different brands can use unique wiring or signal technology. For seamless home coverage, connect only Kidde units together as described in the instruction manual. -
Question: How long will these detectors last before needing replacement?
Answer: The detectors are built for a 10-year lifespan. Kidde recommends you replace both the smoke and carbon monoxide alarms after ten years of use, even if they seem to work well. Technology becomes outdated, and sensors can weaken. Mark your installation date and plan to upgrade on schedule for ongoing, reliable protection. -
Question: What kind of spaces should these detectors be used in?
Answer: Place detectors in main living areas, near bedrooms, and close to attached garages. Avoid putting them right next to kitchen stoves or bathrooms, which could cause nuisance alarms. For complete safety, follow Kidde’s guidelines for the number and locations suitable for your home size and layout. -
Question: What maintenance do these detectors require outside of battery changes?
Answer: Beyond changing batteries and testing weekly, clean the units with a dry cloth. Do not use spray cleaners, which can damage internal parts. If the unit shows an amber LED, follow the manual for troubleshooting. Keep the alarm vents clear for optimal sensitivity.
