Sustainability
Maximum Protection Alarms are a sustainable choice in home safety. As a photoelectric alarm, the alarms are a more eco-friendly option compared with ionization alarms, which contain an ionizing radiation source in the chamber that is a composite of Americium-241.Vast departures from their bulkier counterparts, Maximum Protection alarms are significantly smaller than traditional alarms. The small, smart design helps reduce materials used in the manufacturing process, and maximize efficiency in the supply chain.
Pricing
Price varies by model. For the basic P900 model, the MSRP is $19.99.
Notes
Several First Alert Maximum Protection Alarm models are now available with a 10-year battery so that consumers never need to change the battery during the life of the alarm. For traditional alarms, it's recommended that batteries are replaced twice each year. The Maximum Protection 10-year life alarms comply with current legislation in 12 states – and more states are soon expected to also adopt 10-year smoke alarm requirements.
