Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I moved into a new house that had been built about a year before. For the past 17 months I have been changing batteries very often in my three CO detectors. I finally started putting dates on the batteries and found that they only last 2 months (1 month in a cold basement). I'm guessing I spent about $70 in batteries. The batteries are only there to kick in when the AC power fails, which it rarely does and never for very long. However, my tests indicate that the batteries are being drained while the AC power is properly working.
I contacted the company for warranty replacements and was told I would have to pay $20 for shipping & HANDLING to get my "FREE" warranty replacements. I made a big stink and got them to send them at their expense. Only time will tell if the replacements work. Till then I can work on the problem of random beeps from my BRK smoke detectors.

The BRK hardwire carbon monoxide alarm detects dangerous CO gas and allows you peace of mind with its battery backup. Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colorless, odorless, deadly gas. It can be emitted by sources including gas or oil furnaces, gas clothes dryers, water heaters, fireplaces, wood stoves, charcoal grills, gas ranges, and space heaters. A clogged chimney, improper venting, and attached garages can also cause carbon monoxide accumulation. According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), at least one CO alarm should be installed near a home's sleeping area. This BRK alarm is perfect for bedrooms, as well as hallways, and basements.
