MANASQUAN, NJ — HBA Rebates is proud to announce that BRK® and First Alert®, the industry leaders in residential fire safety, have officially joined its nationwide rebate program as participating manufacturers effective Q1 2026. This partnership allows home builders across the country to claim cash rebates on the most trusted life-safety devices while providing homeowners with world-class protection.
A Legacy of Safety Innovation
For over 60 years, the partnership between BRK and First Alert has defined the gold standard for fire and carbon monoxide (CO) safety. First Alert pioneered the first battery-operated smoke alarm in 1964, and today, as the professional division of Resideo, BRK provides builders with a comprehensive suite of devices engineered for reliability, ease of installation, and strict code compliance.
Key Solutions for the Modern Builder
Through this new partnership, builders can access a wide array of high-performance solutions tailored to specific project needs:
- Replaceable Battery Backups: BRK’s hardwired alarms with replaceable battery backups are the reliable workhorse of the industry. Available as standalone smoke alarms, CO alarms, or combination units, these devices ensure continuous protection during power outages and provide a cost-effective solution for high-volume residential construction.
- 10-Year Sealed Battery Technology: To eliminate the hassle of the “low battery chirp,” BRK offers 10-year sealed, non-replaceable battery backup units. These premium smoke, CO, and combination configurations utilize lithium power cells designed to last the entire decade-long life of the alarm, meeting the increasingly stringent mandates of state and local building codes.
- Smart Home Integration: As home buyers demand more connectivity, First Alert’s smart safety ecosystem gives builders a competitive edge. These advanced combination alarms integrate with major smart platforms, sending mobile notifications to homeowners during emergencies even when they are away from the property.
By integrating BRK and First Alert into their 2026 builds, HBA members align themselves with a legacy of innovation while maximizing their bottom line through the HBA Rebates program.
