I have a couple questions regarding hard wired smoke detectors:
1) Can different brands of SDs be linked? I'm not sure what brand I have now throughout my house, but I am doing a basement remodel and the detectors at the local supply stores are either Kidde and Firex (?).
Also any general recommendations would be appreciated.
2) It seems that a smoke detector was not installed -- as it was supposed to be per code in my city -- in the basement level of our new home. (It did had livable/finished sq. footage when we moved in).
Am I required to interlink the new SDs I'm installing in the remodel to those on the 1st floor? If so, any tips?
Thx,
Ben
