Customer Reviews For The USI Sensing Plus 3-in-1 Hardwired Smoke, Fire and CO Alarm
We have had our new USI combo hard wired alarms installed for over a month now and we couldn't be happier! After YEARS of false alarms from our First Alert combo alarms, most often in the middle of the night with no perceptible triggers, we had grown weary and anxious. We decided to install new alarms and researched and found USI discussed in Consumer Reports. These alarms work well but have not been constantly triggered by shower steam from the bath or smells/smoke from cooking or a spider crawling on the lens. I'm finally able to go to sleep at night without anxiety that a false alarm will wake the whole house. The alarms DO work - when I really scorched something while cooking the alarm did go off - and was much easier to silence than our old ones. I'm glad I will not have to remember to replace the batteries every six months. My electrician asked me to let him know if they are good so he can recommend them to other clients so that's my next step. Meantime I can recommend them to anyone reading this review - they were money very well spent! I read that something like 70% of house fires involve disconnected fire alarms because people get tired of false alerts - save your family from potential tragedy by invested a few extra dollars not really, when you count the savings from a permanent battery in these excellent USI combo alarms.
It's working great so far.
Excellent product. Easy to install. Great customer service. One alarm didn't work because the activation tab was somewhat pulled out. I called the company and a new one was immediately shipped to me.
Just what I order to replace old detector and it fit same location
Very easy install and I've had my last one 10 years. Love this item
I like the new USI dual Sensing Plus alarms. They can detect more types of fires and smoldering fires. They meet the New UL 217 8th Ed. Requirements which is great for resale. Hardwiring is easy with included pig tail for hardwiring. I needed several combination sensors with CO.
Love your products.
Invested in new detectors for whole house: hard wired smoke, smoke and CO with sealed battery backup, sealed battery smoke and CO. Had to rewire as different plug than older units. Took a few hours almost 20 units, but straightforward. Happy with decision, purchase, and products.
I only had one combination alarm. The other 5 were smoke detectors. But this one installed as easily as the other alarms, and they have been in a week so far without any problems. I'm happy to have the added protection this combination detector provides. It had been recommended by my local fire department to replace my old alarms with smoldering fire and open flame alarms.
The USI AMIC1510SB 3-in-1 Sensing Plus® Hardwired Smoke, Fire & Carbon Monoxide Alarm provides 10 years of continuous protection against deadly threats in the home. New Sensing Plus® Multi-Criteria Detection provides the benefits of both photoelectric and ionization alarms in one device to protect against fast flaming and slow smoldering fires. This hardwired combination alarm also offers protection against the silent killer - carbon monoxide - making it a 3-in-1 detector. The ideal addition for new or replacement installations, this maintenance-free alarm is suitable for houses, apartments and mobile homes in every room. This 3-in-1 alarm includes a 10 year lithium free battery backup that will never have to be replaced throughout the life of the detector, giving you a decade's worth in peace of mind even in the event of a power outage.
10 Year Permanent Power also saves money from battery replacements (up to $38.00 over the 10-year life of the alarm), eliminates annoying low battery chirps and helps the environment by reducing environmental waste from disposed batteries. This USI Electric Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Detector features microprocessor intelligence that assists in completely eliminating nuisance alarms, a single silence/test button to quiet a non-hazardous alarm and an end-of-service life warning that sounds when it's time to replace the battery (approximately 10-years from activation).
Perfect for replacing existing USI Electric Combination Detectors, this combination alarm features a large mounting base to cover imperfections in drywall and the option to replace retrofitting applications. The quick activation battery pull tab makes it easy to install while the deactivation key switches the combo alarm off and makes the batteries safe for disposal. Once the 3-in-1 combination alarm is deactivated, the tamper resistant feature turns on to prevent deactivated alarms from being reinstalled.
