The Fireangel Combination Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarm is a home safety unit that combines optical smoke sensing and electrochemical carbon monoxide detection to protect households from both fire and invisible gas. Peace of mind for families comes from long-life power and clear, separate alerts that identify each hazard. Will the sealed battery and combined sensing suit a busy household's needs?
⚡ At a Glance
- • Detection Technology: Optical smoke sensing for smouldering fires and electrochemical CO detection
- • Best for: Homes and flats needing single-unit protection for both smoke and carbon monoxide
- • Not ideal for: Properties that require interconnected or smart networked alarm systems
Combined smoke and carbon monoxide monitoring in a single Kitemark-certified unit. Advanced sensing reduces nuisance alarms while keeping detection reliable.
Dual hazard protection – with optical smoke and electrochemical CO sensors
Optical sensing detects particles from slow, smouldering fires as they enter the chamber, while the electrochemical sensor reacts to the presence of carbon monoxide gas molecules. Separate alarm tones and visual indicators distinguish between smoke and CO events.
Single-unit coverage replaces the need for separate detectors in many rooms and gives clear identification of the type of hazard when an alarm sounds.
Long maintenance-free life – thanks to a 10 year sealed battery
A sealed battery is integrated for the alarm's expected operational lifetime and does not require routine battery replacement. End-of-life signalling chirps twice with an amber LED flash pattern to indicate replacement time.
No regular battery swaps for a decade reduces maintenance and the risk of removed batteries, giving dependable protection with minimal upkeep.
Fewer false alarms and clearer alerts – with advanced optical sensing and distinct signals
Optical sensing is tuned to recognise thicker white smoke that enters the detection chamber, cutting down on nuisance triggers from cooking or brief steam. Distinct audible sounds and visual indicators make it easier to identify whether smoke or carbon monoxide has been detected.
Reduced night-time false alarms and clear visual/audible differentiation make it easier to respond correctly and quickly.
✨ The 4 Key Reasons for Fireangel Combination Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarm
