Faulty Fire/Carbon Monoxide Detectors - Update

Sick of hearing your Firex Smoke/Carbon Monoxide Alarm go off for no apparent reason?

If changing the battery doesn't do the trick, you might have a faulty model. According to one Board member, if your troublesome model is date-stamped August 21, 2003 or earlier, you might be able to exchange it for a newer, more reliable model at no cost.

To exchange your model for a newer one, you'll need to contact the manufacturer, Invensys Climate Controls, directly using one of the following methods:

E-mail: TechnicalService@invensys.com
Phone: 800-445-8299
Fax: 630-260-7243

Note: Morris Place buildings most likely affected are 3 through 7. Buildings 1 and 2, both constructed in 2004, appear to have the new-and-improved models installed.
