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



I am not aware of any wireless solutions. Another poster has mentioned some
possibilities.

The detector circuit is wired using 14/3 w ground wire. The extra wire is
used to inter-connect the detectors. Battery back-up is standard. If one
goes off they all do.

I would find a way to pull the wire if it were my house. At a minimum I
would make sure each bedroom has its own unit.

Best wishes
