The California Real Estate Inspection
Association's Official Position is to:
Recommend ONLY Photoelectric Smoke Detectors/Alarms
RESOLVED, That CREIA support the mandate of only
photoelectric smoke detectors in California law and
in all standard development organizations' building
fire and life safety codes and standards.
That CREIA support the installation of only
photoelectric smoke detectors in all residential
housing.
And that CREIA does NOT Recommend Combination Alarms
WHEREAS, dual alarms, also known as combination
alarms, contain both technologies are available, the
benefit over photoelectric in the response to fires
is marginal. They are more costly, and they will
experience the same nuisance problem as ionization
smoke alarms.
