Domestic Smoke Alarms

Even if people are more aware today of the dangers of fire, it will never be possible to eliminate them completely. If life is to be saved, it is essential to detect a fire as soon as possible.

We take care passionately about fire safety. The selection and installation of smoke detectors is an essential aspect of this.

We often visit places of multiple occupancy (eg student accommodation,), commonly known as houses of multiple occupation, or HMOs.

It is common practice in this type of property has mains powered fire alarm in public areas and battery, domestic detectors in residences. However, once established, few ever made to ensure proper maintenance - whether in a domestic or a commercial environment.

If a household smoke alarm was installed, we often find that the batteries have gone flat or been removed altogether - the smoke is much closer than the corner store when the batteries run out unexpectedly to stereo staff of the student, for example.

Without its battery, a smoke detector is totally unnecessary and if it is not tested on a regular basis, the fact that he has a dead battery or no battery at all likely go undetected until an incident occurs. And it is too late.

We believe there is a place for the battery alone smoke alarms not working and we provide them. However, they are not appropriate for all locations, especially where there is little control over their testing, maintenance and operation.

What we recommend, especially for the HMO, is the installation of a network operated smoke alarm that has a built-in lithium battery 10 years.

The batteries in these units can not be removed, so that they can not be used in any other device.

Where there is a limited budget can not accommodate a smoke alarm to centralized control, automatic fire detection and alarms, operated these lines provide an economical solution. They may not be as cheap as battery smoke alarms, but the cost is very cheap to pay to ensure their proper functioning when needed.

Our product range also includes a smoke detector works sector that is integrated into standard ceiling rose. It runs from the main circuit includes lighting and emergency lighting. In the case of a fire or power outage, not only the sound of the alarm, but emergency lighting is switched on, which will help to escape.
