Hello:

Have a question regarding smoke detectors for a residence.

Will be moving into a house that has the master bedroom quite some
distance,
and on a separate level, from the kids bedrooms, and the basement
lower
levels.

Want to put in several new smoke detectors, but doubt that would ever
be
able
to hear the whistle if it goes off due to the distances involved.

Are there such things out now such as wireless transmitter smoke
detectors,
or
anything similar in the way of a solution to this ?

Are they any good ?

Guess if it works on house wiring, the assumption is they would sound
a
warning
before the wiring goes out: good assumption ?

What do most people do for this type of a situation ?

Thanks,
Bob

Many newer detectors are designed so they can be daisey chained
together - one going off causes all them to go off. This increases
distance and noise levels. But you will have to be able to run wiring
between them. Attic access?
