Question:

Can I pair up a smoke alarm and a carbon monoxide detector together?

Hello,I was hoping you can give me some assistance wiring smoke / carbon monoxide / heat detectors in my home. I have read up on the smoke and it seems easy enough: hot, neutral, and interconnect. My understanding is if one smoke is triggered it sends a signal through the interconnect to the other sensors in different areas of the house. My question: can I hook up carbon monoxide sensors in series with the smoke detectors. Same question for the heat detectors. Will the interconnect work with different sensors?Thanks for your help.

Answer:

Typically, employers should wait until the worker returns from his injury. The reason is that it's illegal to discipline an employee as a result of filing a workers comp claim. If they fired you, they either have a very good reason unrelated to the injury or they're opening themselves up to a law suit. Regardless, unless you willfully violated a company policy warranting termination, you will likely qualify for unemployment benefits after you've recovered from your injury. Until they release you for work again, you should be able to draw workers comp.
Police departments usually have a complaints branch where you can file a complaint. If you aren't happy with the way they handle it, or the problem you have isn't a police matter, then get a lawyer and sue them just like anyone else.
We live in a condo and the fire department comes around spring and fall to change the batteries. We have always done it but they don't want to take any chances. Just outside our door is the fire extinguishers and the fire alarms. Each floor has 2. It gives a real feeling of peace.
