Good Morning America recently tested the two main types of smoke detectors. If you purchased your smoke detector from the hardware store or your electrician, you likely have an ionization detector, while we recommend and install photoelectric smoke detectors. See the difference for yourself in this compelling video.
You may not know that most house fires are of the smoldering (rather than flaming) type, due to the abundance of flame retardant materials used in furniture upholstery and construction. As you see in the video investigation, photoelectric smoke detectors detect smoldering fires better.
Monitored photoelectric smoke detectors are designed to protect your family and home 24/7, whether your alarm system is armed or not. Learn more about professional monitoring from Alarm Engineering here.
