The law on fire alarms has changed, and Fire alarm installers Livingston can assist. With updates to current laws and legislation, it is important to keep everyone around you in the know. From the 1st of February 2022, the Scottish Government implemented new legislation informing everyone in the country to have an interlinked fire alarm system installed within their property.
This is down to you, as a homeowner, to install. However, with the help of Titus Fire and Security, the installation process has proven to be a whole lot easier.

How Will Fire Alarm Installers Livingston Install the Alarms within Your Property?
The question arises, what is the new system and how does it differ from your previous fire alarm system? As already established, the new system alarms are linked with one another. This means that they will sound wherever the fire breaks out within the home. An alarm will be fixed to the ceiling of the main, or most used room within the property, which tends to be the living room. Another alarm will be placed on the ceiling of the property’s circulation areas. For example, within the hallway or landing. It is important to note that if your property is more than two stories tall, an alarm will be needed for each level.
Finally, we move onto the kitchen area. This area tends to be the most prominent place where a fire could break out within your home. That is down to the large selection of appliances that produce heat. A heat alarm will be fixed to your kitchen ceiling, which is also interlinked with the alarm system.
Finally, a carbon monoxide detector must be present if you have a carbon-fuelled appliance within your home. That may be a boiler, gas fire, or gas hob. Carbon monoxide is a silent killer so these devices are vital in detecting the presence of this gas which presents no smell or taste.
