Fire Alarm Installers Rutherglen

The law on fire alarms has changed. This now means that every residential and commercial property within Scotland must have an interlinked fire alarm system. It is down to the owner of the property to arrange the installation of this system. However, fire alarm installers Rutherglen can assist with the installation process. 

The new law has come to light in Scotland following the tragedy that took place at the Grenfell Tower back in 2017. If you are unaware of this event, it is considered the worst residential fire since World War Two. It occurred due to a malfunctioning fridge freezer which destroyed the 24-storey block of flats, along with over seventy lives. Those who escaped the fire or experienced injuries may also face long-term consequences on the lungs due to the smoke and fire toxins. The new system aims to prevent an event as major and detrimental as this one from occurring again. 

 

Fire Alarm Installers Rutherglen – How Can We Help?

Our team of experienced engineers is more than equipped to install your new interlinked fire alarm system. With several alarms across the home, this means that when one goes off, they all go off. This allows for quicker and safer evacuation in the event of a fire. All of the alarms will be mounted to the ceilings of the home, and not to worry, our engineers have the locations covered. They will place the alarms within the most suitable and advised locations of the property.  

The home should include at least two fire alarms. This will apply if you have a one-storey property such as a one-level flat, or a bungalow. If the property is two-storey’s then three alarms will be required. It is important to note that this is because an alarm must be placed in each circulation area. Such as a hallway or landing.  

Alongside the fire alarms, a heat alarm is also included in the interlinked system. This will be placed on the ceiling of the kitchen and is less sensitive than the other alarms.

Carbon Monoxide Detector 

If your property features a carbon-fuelled appliance, you will require a carbon monoxide detector. For example, this could be a boiler or a gas fire. Carbon monoxide is known as the silent killer. This is because the gas is scentless and tasteless, nor can it be seen.

When Do You Need the Interlinked Alarm System By?

The new law instructed UK residents to have the alarm system installed by the 1st of February 2022. However, there is leeway to this date. If you do not have this alarm system already you should install it within a reasonable period after this time frame.  

Although it is not against the law to avoid these new regulations, they have been set in place for a reason. To increase safety measures, you are advised to install the interlinked system. It is vital to keep ourselves, friends, family, and buildings safe by acting on the new law as soon as possible.
