WhatsAppWhich type of detector belongs in the kitchen?
Kitchens require a dedicated heat alarm rather than an optical smoke alarm. Heat alarms monitor rapid temperature changes instead of airborne particles, which prevents false triggers from normal cooking steam and smoke.
Why do smoke alarms need to be interconnected?
Interlinking ensures that when a detector on the ground floor senses fire, all alarms across upper landings and bedrooms sound immediately, giving occupants everywhere the earliest possible warning.
Can new alarms be fitted without cutting into decorative ceilings?
Yes. Where routing new cables between floors would disturb decorative mouldings or ceiling finishes, mains powered alarms with secure radio frequency interlinks allow units to communicate without interlinking wires.
How often do mains smoke alarms need replacing?
Most alarm heads have a working sensor life of ten years from the manufacture date stamped on the base, after which the entire unit should be replaced to maintain accurate detection.
