Smoke/Heat/CO2 alarm recommendations

AhhHere

Was quoted 750 to install 2 smoke, 1 heat and 2 c02 alarms.

I think I can do it myself and cheaper. Any brands people would suggest? Any to avoid?

I use Nest Protect. They're great, if you like the connected home approach and don't have a legal requirement for them to be wired in.

Are they all going to be interconnected? As those type are upwards of 100 euros each.

What exactly is involved in the installation?

I thought the EI interconnected ones were around €25-30 each? Im sure they were the last time I bought them.

Agree

These are as good quality as wired. In fact they do a wired version

Open to correction but if I'm reading that last paragraph correctly it says dwelling houses built before mains alarms were required can use 10yr battery interconnected type

I'd be using the below type if doing it that way

Got several awhile ago and in total price was more than 30 euros each, including vat.

It was Ei3016 series which are RF interlinked.
