From the 1st of February 2022, the Scottish Government has decided to implement new rules, to 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.  

Following the Grenfell Tower mishap in 2017, the UK was exposed to the worst residential fire since World War Two. The catastrophe resulted in over 70 fatalities and more than 70 injuries. The question to ask is, could this have been prevented if the fire alarm systems within the multi-story building were more efficient or interlinked?  

The interlinked system will highly benefit us from running into further damage and fatalities like this in the future within the UK. Fire alarm installers Perth can assist. 

 

Interlinked System Layout – Fire Alarm Installers Perth 

So, what is the interlinked fire alarm system? The interlinked fire alarm system is comprised of additional alarms within your property that are all interlinked with one another. That means that if one device detects a fire, then all of them will sound throughout the home. If your home is on the larger side, then don’t worry. You can guarantee that you will hear the sound of the alarm wherever you may be within the home.  

If not being able to hear the sound of an alarm is a concern to you, regularly check alarm systems. This can be done by lighting a match and holding it directly below a chosen alarm. We can guarantee that you will gather how well they are working based on the sound displayed from them.  

Referring to the placement of the alarm systems, one alarm should be placed in the main room of your home. one alarm should also be placed within a hallway/landing circulation area. If your home has two levels, you will require two. Finally, a heat alarm should be placed within your kitchen.  

It is vital to have an experienced professional assist with the installation. Trust us when we say that they know where is best to place these devices throughout your property. 

Carbon Monoxide Detector 

Although a carbon monoxide detector is not required for all properties, it is vital if you have a carbon-fuelled appliance anywhere within your home. That includes a boiler, or even a gas fire or hob. The gas is a silent killer and can be detrimental. So, ensure that you enquire about this detector if need be.
