First Alert Heat Alarm

Heat alarms are specifically designed for areas like kitchens, garages, and laundry rooms where smoke, steam, or dust often trigger false alarms in traditional smoke detectors. This unit monitors temperature spikes rather than air particles, providing reliable protection in environments where smoke detectors are prone to nuisance alerts.

This alarm uses dual-sensing technology. It triggers an alert if the ambient temperature hits a fixed point of 135°F or if it detects a rapid, abnormal spike in temperature, ensuring you are warned quickly even before the room reaches critical heat levels.

Yes, this unit features wired interconnectivity, allowing it to communicate with up to 18 other compatible safety devices. When one interconnected alarm triggers, all units in the network will sound, providing a comprehensive alert system throughout your home.

Because this is a hardwired unit with a 9V battery backup, it remains fully operational during power outages. The battery ensures continuous protection even when your home's electrical system is down.

Maintenance is straightforward. The unit features a single button that handles both testing and silencing, and it includes a low-battery warning indicator to let you know when it is time to replace the backup power source.

This unit is versatile and can be installed on either the wall or the ceiling, depending on your specific room layout and local building codes.
