This kit is supplied with three smoke alarms and one heat alarm from the Kidde Firex KF range. The alarms in this bundle are mains powered with an alkaline back-up battery to ensure that the alarms continue to work during a mains power outage. One system can consist of up to 24 compatible Kidde KF devices to provide maximum protection for your home. These alarms can be hardwire interlinked to ensure that if one alarm is activated, the other alarms in the system also activate and alert all occupants to the danger. All alarms feature a 6 year warranty.

Neat clean change for old alarms
Nice to have white alarms again rather than the old yellowed ones. Should have changed them much sooner.
Husband found the heat detector a bit of a pain to fit for our setup as the ceiling space was tight. We had to use the old stand-off collar from before which required me to paint it white to match but looks ok once finished
