Frequently Asked Questions

Where should the IQ Smoke be installed?

Per fire-code best practices, install smoke detectors outside sleeping areas and on every level, including basements. Avoid installing directly in kitchens or garages to reduce nuisance alarms; we’ll design placement during your site visit.

Does the IQ Smoke detect carbon monoxide?

No. The IQ Smoke is for smoke/heat/freeze. Add a dedicated CO detector for carbon monoxide. We can bundle both for full life-safety coverage.

How loud is the alarm, and can I test it?

It sounds at ≥85 dBA with the ANSI Temporal-3 pattern. Use the front hush/test button for routine testing; your panel will also supervise battery and trouble conditions.

What maintenance is required?

Vacuum or use compressed air around the detector vents periodically to remove dust; replace the AAA batteries when prompted (typically 3–5 years). We’ll show you how during installation.

Will I get phone alerts?

Yes—when paired with your monitored IQ system, you can receive mobile notifications for alarms, low battery, and freeze warnings.
