Combination Detectors are gaining in popularity because they combine smoke and carbon monoxide detection. They are available as CO and ionization alarms and CO and photoelectric alarms.If you buy a CO-ionization model, it is recommended you also purchase a CO-photoelectric alarm and vice versa.
By purchasing these combo alarms, you would have fewer alarms to place in your home (except that many CO alarms mount in the typical wall outlet placed low on the wall while the optimum smoke alarm placement is on or near the ceiling).
Interconnecting CO Detectors warn you of problems in remote areas of the house— especially important in multi-level homes. They can be linked through hard wires or wirelessly and set off all the alarms if any one goes off.
