These updated Kidde Firex smoke and heat alarms are mains powered, interlinking units that use up to 70% less energy than previous Firex models. The alarms are hard-wired and fitted with self-charging lithium back-up batteries. They can be interlinked with other units from the same series to create all round fire protection within the home; when one alarm detects fire and sounds, all interlinked units will sound. Installing the right sensor types in your property gives you the fastest possible response time with the minimum number of false alarms.
