The Installation Process Carried Out by Fire Alarm Installers Bathgate
Before the installation process, Fire Alarm Installers Bathgate can help you identify whether you would prefer for your alarm system to be a mains-powered or a sealed battery alarm. Although sealed battery alarms are more popular, the team at Titus Fire and Security will be able to elaborate on the features of each alarm before having the interlinked system installed.
Our professionals also know the best positions for each alarm to be placed throughout your home following the Scottish Government’s guidelines. This is dependent on how many levels there are to your home. An alarm will be placed on the ceiling of the main room of your property. This is most likely to be the living room area. The other alarm(s) should be placed within the circulation areas of your home. If your home is only one level, you should only require one alarm in the hallway. However, if your home is two levels, you will need an alarm within the upstairs and downstairs hallways/landings. This will ensure that the alarm can be heard no matter where you may be within the property. A less sensitive heat alarm will also be mounted to the kitchen ceiling.
Fire Alarm Installers – Carbon Monoxide Detector
Here at Fire Alarm Installers Bathgate we know that if you have a carbon-fuelled appliance with your property, a carbon monoxide detector is necessary. Carbon monoxide is the silent killer and around sixty deaths per year in the UK are related to this deadly gas. Carbon monoxide leaks are most likely to target residents within the evening hours when individuals are stationary. When consumed in large doses, it is extremely detrimental. Therefore, although this device is not directly linked to the fire alarm system, it is very much vital. It is important to note that a carbon-fuelled appliance includes any appliance that is fuel burning. For example, a boiler or gas oven, or stove.

Following the New Rules is Your Responsibility
Although there will be no punishments for not following the new rules, installing the interlinked system will increase the health and safety measures for your household. The costs of the updated alarm system will be the responsibility of the homeowner or landlord. Upon contacting our team of professionals, we will be able to give you a free no-obligation quote to give you a rough idea of installation costs.
The new law was set into place because of the tragedy at the Grenfell Tower flats in London in 2017. With over seventy injuries and more devastatingly seventy deaths, the Government wants to ensure an event as catastrophic as this one can be avoided within the future, especially within Scotland. Therefore, keep yourself and others educated on updated fire alarm measures.
