Maple Chase was founded in 1974 after successfully designing and manufacturing a line of top quality smoke alarms for the residential smoke alarm market. Maple Chase has continued to focus its efforts toward serving contractors and trade professionals through the electrical wholesale market, a market that it is proud to lead today. All models use the most reliable sensing technology and meet the most current UL requirements. The Maple Chase heat alarm is useful for environments that could trigger nuisance alarms in smoke alarms. Shifts in temperature, humidity as well as dust, fumes and insects are frequently the cause of these false alarms.
Homeowners benefit from the ease of use and dependable temperature control.
