A:  Hey there, Renay! Thanks for your interest. There’s a possibility that those are 2nd gen devices. The 1st gen Nest Protects are no longer produced, and started to expire for customers back in September 2020. The first sold Nest Protect devices are nearing the end of their recommended lifespan. We encourage you to contact your retailer for inquiry.

A:  I have placed one in the garage. I was hesitant to place one in the attic due to all the insulation dust.

A:  Hi there, Tooldude! Thanks for your inquiry! The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) recommend several places to mount a smoke and carbon monoxide alarm; on every floor including finished attics and basements, inside and outside sleeping area, or at the top of first-to-second floor stairway and on the basement ceiling near the entry of the stairs. Smoke alarms are not designed to work in extreme heat or cold, or in areas where smoke and dust are common, like unfinished attics or garages, as it could damage the sensors of the alarm.
