Frequently Asked Questions
Per fire-code best practices, install smoke detectors outside sleeping areas and on every level, including basements. Avoid installing directly in kitchens or garages to reduce nuisance alarms; we’ll design placement during your site visit.
No. The IQ Smoke is for smoke/heat/freeze. Add a dedicated CO detector for carbon monoxide. We can bundle both for full life-safety coverage.
It sounds at ≥85 dBA with the ANSI Temporal-3 pattern. Use the front hush/test button for routine testing; your panel will also supervise battery and trouble conditions.
Vacuum or use compressed air around the detector vents periodically to remove dust; replace the AAA batteries when prompted (typically 3–5 years). We’ll show you how during installation.
Yes—when paired with your monitored IQ system, you can receive mobile notifications for alarms, low battery, and freeze warnings.
