Hi all,
We are building a new house and it will be LEED certified. LEED certification requires the smoke detectors to be CO detectors as well (or have the same number of CO detectors).
I have a pro coming in and doing the HAI OmniProII and the security install. He will be installing smoke alarms that will be tied into the OmniProII and will be monitored. However, he has said that the only way to have the CO alarms is to put them right next to the smoke alarms and that they cannot be monitored.
The last option is to just go with the builder's 120v alarms, which will act as both smoke and CO detectors but will not be monitored.
Any suggestions??? Going with the builder is cheaper as well.
