Types of alarms

Your new alarm system can come in two forms, a sealed battery alarm or a mains-wired. The clue is in the name. However, more homeowners choose to opt for a sealed battery alarm as the installation process is a lot easier. If you choose to have a sealed battery alarm installed, it is important to note that the batteries require changing. Although this is usually every ten years, it is vital to remember to change them, and also carry out tests on your fire alarm. Simply lighting a few matches and holding them underneath the alarm system will indicate how well the device is functioning.

Extra Safety Precautions

It is important to note that within the interlinked alarm requirements, you must have a heat alarm within your kitchen area. Also, if your home features any carbon-fuelled appliances, it is vital to install a carbon monoxide detector. Although this is not directly linked to the interlinked fire alarm system, the device does play a crucial role in detecting harmful gas.

Carbon monoxide is known as the silent killer. Within the UK, on average, there are around sixty carbon monoxide-related deaths per year. A number that could have been reduced with a carbon monoxide detector in place. Keep your household, and yourself safe and have this device installed by our team if required.
