We had this house built, at property everyday, to basically take pics, and pickup trash that would end up buried in our lawn.
Builder can buy detectors any way they choose. When we built our homes north, we contracted most of the work. I ordered detectors without batteries.
Worker arrived at this house while we were there with packing box of detectors that were in sealed factory box and units without any box at all, just a bunch of detectors.
Given the amount of factory boxes on the floors, next day we guessed ours were out of the box except for one.
