Fire Alarm Installers Erskine
From the 1st of February 2022, the Scottish Government has decided to implement new rules. This will increase fire safety measures across the country. The new interlinked fire alarm system is a must-have. Failing to comply with these rules could affect home reports in the future. Ultimately, it is your duty as a homeowner to keep your household and yourself safe. So it is only responsible and reasonable to comply with these new rules. Fire alarm installers Erskine can help with the installation of your new alarm system.
Following the Grenfell Tower mishap in 2017, the UK was exposed to the worst residential fire since World War Two. There were over 70 fatalities and more than 70 injuries as a result of this catastrophe. Could this have been prevented if the fire alarm systems within the multi-story building were more efficient or even interlinked?
The interlinked system will highly benefit us from running into further damage and fatalities like this in the future within the UK.

Installation Details – Fire Alarm Installers Erskine
The team at Titus Fire and Security can install an interlinked alarm system into your home. The following alarms will be placed as followed. One alarm must be placed within the main room of your home. This is most likely to be the living room, or even a downstairs home office. Secondly, an alarm must be placed within the circulation areas of the home. The best location for this may be within the hallways or landings of each storey of the home. It is important to note that you should have an alarm on the ceiling of each level of the home. Therefore, if your home is three-storey house, you should require an additional alarm.
Finally, alongside the fire alarms, a heat alarm is necessary for your kitchen area. When you consider it, this is the best location for this alarm. With several heat-generating appliances, you want to make sure that your kitchen area is covered.
A carbon monoxide detector is vital if your home has a carbon-fuelled appliance. Carbon monoxide is known as the silent killer. When consumed in large doses this harmful gas can be deadly. Although this device is not linked to the interlinked fire alarm system it is still very practical and beneficial to have.

Safety Does Not Stop After Installation
Once your interlinked alarm system has been fitted, the safety measures certainly do not stop here. It is vital to regularly check your fire alarm system to ensure that it is working correctly. You can do so by carefully lighting a match and holding it directly below the alarm system. The noise will indicate whether or not the system is fully functioning.
Alongside this, ensure that you make others aware of the new law. Our team and the Scottish Government believe that it is important to keep family members and friends in the know about the consequences of fires. With a population of over 15,000 in Erskine, we want to keep each resident and property as safe as possible.
