Now that Daylight Savings is upon us, it is a good time to remember to change all your batteries in your smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors. What happens though, if I tell you that I have a product called the Kidde Worry Free Smoke Alarm that will last 10 years with never having to hear those beeping, annoying sounds when the batteries are low! I know we are all familiar with the little chirping noises when the batteries are low- the kinds that wake you up at 3AM in a state of manic. While I do change the batteries, many people will continue to listen to the chirping sound of the low batteries till the battery life runs out. Then unfortunately you have no protection against smoke or carbon monoxide in your house.
Thankfuly, Kidde had the consumers in mind and invented a carbon dioxide, as well as smoke detector, that are power sealed by long lasting lithium batteries for the full 10 years of the alarm life. That means you will never hear another chirping sound again with low batteries! How great is it that you don’t have to worry about changing them for the life of the alarm! I was mighty impressed to hear this.
While smoke alarms are installed in 96 percent of US homes, 20 percent of those alarms are not functioning, mainly due to dead or missing batteries. Moreover, two-thirds of residential fire deaths occur in homes without smoke alarms or in homes with non-functioning smoke alarms.
With a sealed, long-life lithium battery smoke alarm, homeowners can enjoy peace of mind knowing that their homes’ smoke alarms are always on – operating 24 hours per day, seven days per week for 10 years – that’s a decade of hassle-free protection. The National Fire Protection Association recommends replacing smoke alarms every 10 years.
Kidde Worry Free Smoke Alarms offer a variety of benefits to the millions of Americans who rely on continuous battery-powered smoke and fire detection in their homes. Each of the four alarms includes features designed to address location-specific safety needs such as a light in the hallway for egress and innovative smart sensing technology for kitchens to minimize nuisance alarms caused by cooking.
Here is some more information about the Worry-Free Smoke Alarms from Kidde:

Installation of the Kidde Worry Free Smoke and Carbon Monoxide alarm (it does both functions) was very easy. It is similar to installation to other alarms in the house, in that you attach the mounting plate to the wall or ceiling. It came with three screws and an anchor and voila, all set up! Once we had it set up, we did a test to make sure the alarm was powered. It is very loud so if it does go off, even the most heavier sleepers will be awoken. That is it- after that, the smoke alarm does not require any battery changes, as the sealed in battery lasts for ten years. It will turn on when it is attached to the mounting plate. The monitor also has a bright LED emergency light that goes on when the alarm is set off, to alert your family to safe grounds in case of an emergency or fire. I also love the fact that it takes care of both functions (smoke/CO detection) so I don’t need to have separate alarms all over the house!
The Kidde Worry Free Alarms retails for $25-50 and will be available at select home improvement stores such as Home Depot. Make sure you pick yours up today!

*I received a gift card and product for review purposes. As always, all my opinions are my own and not swayed by outside sources.
I love the length of the battery life. Batteries are such an issue for me with smoke alarms. I know they last longer than a year, but I change them every fall because I’m afraid just this once it might have died early. And I’m also in need of new ones because there is a date on each of mine and it’s well past that date. I don’t know if the sensor gives out over time? It’s kind of freaky!
Oh I need This.
Great idea! I don’t know how anyone could ignore those chirps they grate on my brain! Hope this comes to Canada soon.
I like the idea of having not to buy anymore batteries for it to run.
Great reminders! You can never check them too often!
I like all the reminders. Also that 1 system does both types of alarms is best.
This would be great! Our smoke alarm goes off for no reason….

So I have smoke detectors in each room, old ones, I need to upgrade and get all new. It would make me feel a whole lot better at night.
My favorite feature (besides the possibility of saving lives) is the fact that the battery life is so long!!
