You should install optical smoke alarms in bedrooms and living areas, heat alarms in kitchens and garages, and carbon monoxide alarms near fuel-burning appliances.
Smoke alarms detect particles from smouldering or flaming fires, while heat alarms respond to rapid temperature rises. Heat alarms reduce false alarms in kitchens.
Battery powered alarms are easy to install, while mains powered units offer added reliability. Both types are available with interlinking features and 10-year battery options.
Yes. Many of our alarms are wirelessly interlinked, so if one sounds, they all sound, a key requirement in most modern domestic fire safety regulations.
Battery powered alarms can be DIY installed, but mains-powered or interlinked systems may require a qualified electrician for safety and compliance.
You should have at least one smoke alarm on each level, and a heat alarm in the kitchen. Larger homes may require additional units in living areas and bedrooms.
Absolutely. We stock alarms that meet legal requirements for rented homes in England, Scotland, and Wales, including interlinked and long-life battery units.
