A retired firefighter in Tucson taught me more about sensor placement in 10 minutes than my last 3 installs
Last month I was installing a basic system in a retirement community outside Tucson and the homeowner, a retired firefighter, asked why I put the smoke detector 8 inches from the kitchen doorway. He told me that in his 30 years on the job, most false alarms he saw came from detectors that close to cooking areas. He pointed at a spot 15 feet away in the hallway and said "put it there, trust me, I've seen too many 3 a.m. calls for burnt toast." We moved it and he was right, no nuisance trips in the 6 weeks since. Anyone else get placement tips from customers that actually stuck with you?
