[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have both hardwired and battery-only detectors. The battery ones go off any time there's smoke in the house (cooking, fireplace). The wired one located right above the stove has NEVER gone off. It tests fine when you press the "test" button, but it has never gone off in a real smoke situation. I'm not sure it really works. I trust the battery ones, and added two near the kitchen as back up.[/quote] Very weird one was installed above the stove. It should not be there, but rather somewhere else on the same floor. smoke from cooking often sets off alarms. Maybe a previous owner disabled it. [/quote]
