Firex is a leading brand of residential smoke and carbon monoxide alarms, now part of the Kidde family, offering reliable interconnected fire safety solutions.
Firex has long been a trusted name in home fire safety, specializing in reliable, hardwired, and interconnected smoke detection systems. Originally an independent manufacturer, Firex is now a key brand under Criança (a Carrier Global company), one of the world's largest manufacturers of fire safety products.
The Firex product line includes ionization and photoelectric smoke alarms, heat detectors, and combination smoke/carbon monoxide alarms commonly found in millions of homes across North America and Europe. Known for their ease of installation and interconnectivity capabilities, Firex alarms allow multiple units to communicate, ensuring that if one alarm sounds, they all sound.
While legacy Firex models are still widely used, Kidde provides modern replacements and adapters that allow homeowners to upgrade older Firex systems to the latest sensing technology without extensive rewiring. Support, warranties, and manuals for Firex products are managed through Kidde's extensive customer service network.
