Hi all, new to this site and not sure if this post belongs here.
Have hard wired Dicon smoke alarms(12 years old) Time to replace because of age and starting to beep on their own, but found Dicon out of business. Does anyone know what the replacement for these would be. Ionization typemodel 370lbx.
Thanks for any help. Looks like alot of knowledgeable people here

You can replace it with any brand. If you have multiple smoke detectors in your house, replace them all at the same time with identical models to insure proper interoperation. The normal life is only 10 years, so it's time.
