Smoke alarms may be silent most of the time, but they’re working 24/7 to protect your home. If they could talk, they’d probably remind you of a few simple things — and the good news is, Max Fire Alert devices already “speak” through smart features and thoughtful design.

They’d start by saying: “Don’t ignore my chirping.” That beep means low battery or a fault. Our alarms come with loud alerts and our Smart Interconnected models even send notifications to your phone, so you’re covered anywhere.

Next, they'd say: “Put me in the right place.” Smoke alarms belong in bedrooms and hallways, while heat alarms are better for kitchens and garages. Max Fire Alert offers both, ensuring the right protection in every room.

“Test me monthly,” your alarm would insist — and with our easy test buttons, it takes just a few seconds. They might also say, “Keep me clean,” since dust can affect performance. A quick wipe every few months does the job.

Finally, your alarm would remind you: “Replace me every 10 years.” All Max Fire Alert devices include a clear manufacturer's date and long-life battery options to help you stay on track. Setting a calendar reminder when you install the device is a simple way to make sure you never miss the replacement deadline.

Your alarm may not have a voice, but it’s sending you a message: be proactive, stay alert, and choose devices designed to protect.
