A friend had them installed. Of course, to know if they work, one would have to have a fire. She indicated that she wishes she had not spent the $$ on the system. I researched the new technology as best as I could and chose the combination photo/ion type and installed them myself. Our older home is wired to activate all detectors when one goes off, with the exception of the CO detector.
