Why interconnected alarms matter
A fire that starts in the basement may not trigger an upstairs alarm until smoke has filled the stairwell. With interconnected alarms, the first detector to sense smoke sets off every alarm in the house, buying the minutes people need to get out. In New Lothrop homes without existing alarm wiring, we can add the interconnect cable or use wireless-linked hardwired alarms where fishing wire is not practical.
