Knowing that most people put em on the shelf and
ignore them, please offer installation with the
present. I used two drywall screws and a cordless
drill to install mine.

I took all of mine down. They were the 117 volt a/c type with the 9
volt alkaline battery backup.
I now use My Poms to alarm us. New type alarms are here in the box,
waiting for someone to install them.


You guys with your initials..... What the heck are POMS ????

When I first moved in here, the inspectors installed smoke detectors at
no cost to me. But since I was remodeling the house, everytime my power
saw would emit a little smoke because the blade was dull, or everytime I
got a frying pan a little too hot making a grilled cheese sandwich,
those damn smoke detectors went off. Those things are too damn
sensitive. I have not had a battery in any of them for years.


Nothing to boast about.
