[QUOTE="Sidewinder, post: 483308, member: 9512"] Go with Aico, it's a no brainer IMHO. Go with their siting, they know what they are on about. Mains power the alarms, but interlink wirelessly, don't scrimp, believe me it's worth it. You can link the Co & Fire alarms so they all sound when one triggers, and you then fit the control switch which has silence and identify functions so you can tell whether it is a CO or fire that is detected, if you can't already tell! The switch also has a test button which tests all alarms at the same time. Finally, the beauty of the Aico's is that the bases are all interchangeable. When I was there on my training (which is free for scheme registered contractors), they had no intentions of changing the designs of the base, so going forward older models could easily be swapped out for new. You can't get away from the CO's by the solid fuel burners building regulations IIRC. I personally would never use Optical or Heat, always multi sensor. However, there is a cost to that, but what price do you put on your families life and your home. [/QUOTE]
