First Alert SC9120BCA Hardwire Combination Carbon Monoxide and Smoke Alarm
The First Alert BRK SC9120BCA Hardwired Combination Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarm detects both carbon monoxide and smoke in a single device. It is designed for hardwired installation but features a battery backup that allows the unit to function in the event of a power outage. The CO smoke detector can be connected to other compatible BRK or First Alert CO smoke detectors within a single-family residence.
What's in the Box:
- First Alert BRK SC9120BCA Hardwired Combination Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarm with Battery Backup and Owner's manual
- Universal mounting bracket and hardware
- 9-volt battery
At a Glance:
- Hardwired CO smoke alarm features battery backup for constant monitoring
- Can connect to other compatible BRK or First Alert CO smoke alarms
- Lights indicate if the alarm is for smoke or for carbon monoxide
- Single test/silence button for simple operation
- Side-load battery compartment for convenience

Detects Smoke and Carbon Monoxide
Designed to meet the latest construction requirements, the First Alert BRK SC9120BCA Hardwired Combination Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarm detects two threats: smoke and carbon monoxide. Lights on the face of the alarm tell you what the threat is, and false alarms can be silenced with a single button.

Connect to Other Alarms for Greater Coverage
This hardwired combination smoke and carbon monoxide detector can be connected to other compatible BRK or First Alert CO smoke detectors within a single-family residence. Once one alarm is triggered, all connected CO smoke alarms will sound. The latching alarm indicator on the CO smoke alarm automatically identifies which unit initiated the alarm--even after the conditions that set off the alarm have subsided.
Easy to Install and Maintain
The First Alert BRK SC9120BCA Hardwired Combination Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarm integrates with existing wiring and features a universal mounting bracket that makes installing the unit quick and easy. The side-load battery compartment makes changing the 9-volt battery simple. Tamper-resistant locking pins prevent unauthorized disabling of the CO smoke alarm.

- Reviewed in Canada on June 6, 2025Verified PurchaseOur old smoke alarms were past their expiry date, so it was time for an upgrade. I am so glad I went with these First Alert combo units! Being a homeowner in Barrie, safety is a top priority, and getting both smoke and carbon monoxide detection in one device is fantastic. It looks so much cleaner on the ceiling than having two separate alarms.
The installation was incredibly easy. I was replacing older First Alert models, and the wiring harness and mounting bracket were a perfect match. I had three of them swapped out in under 15 minutes. It's such a simple process for such an important piece of safety equipment.
There's nothing better than the peace of mind knowing you have new, reliable protection for your family, especially with the battery backup for power outages. It feels great to be up-to-date and protected. Highly recommend this for any homeowner looking to upgrade!
- Reviewed in Canada on May 19, 2024Verified PurchaseVery concerned when we received the package. It was packed in bubble envelope and when we opened the bubble pack, the box was crushed all over. Enough that we took pictures prior to installing it as we were concerned that it would be broken. Turned out that it was ok. Works well, good fit for the replacement that we needed. Product came quickly.
- Reviewed in Canada on June 16, 2025Verified PurchaseI needed to replace an 8 year old First Alert SC9120BCA connected to all upstairs combination CO smoke alarms. Since First Alert has discontinued this model, and no 鶹 sellers state expiry dates, I was hesitant to buy online. No problem! The used unit sold by E-MATION was made in November 2024 and works great. Box was poor shape but nothing was missing. Easy installation. Will buy again.
