It is important to follow the Scottish Government’s new regulations regarding fire alarm systems. From February 1st, 2022 all homes must adopt the interlinked fire alarm system. To increase the accuracy and reliability of these alarms, it is always best to have a professional install the system. Fire alarm installers St Andrews will be able to help. With a team of experienced professionals, the installation process will be quick, and hassle-free.
The new law is a response to the Grenfell Tower tragedy. In 2017, in North Kensington, London, a fire broke out within the high-rise block of flats. This was due to a malfunctioning fridge freezer and resulted in over 70 injuries and 70 fatalities. Although over 200 individuals managed to escape the burning building, accurate and efficient interlinked alarms throughout the building could have increased this number. By introducing the interlinked system, the aim is to reduce future catastrophes like this one.
The Installation Process – Fire Alarm Installers St Andrews
The new interlinked system is comprised of several alarms placed around multiple areas of the home. First off, there will be a fire alarm placed on the ceiling of the main room of your home. This should be the room you spend most of your day in, which is usually the living room. Another alarm should also be placed on the ceiling of the circulation areas within the property. This should be within hallways or landings. There must be an alarm within the upstairs and downstairs circulation area if your home has two levels. If your home has three-storeys, you will need an additional alarm. A heat alarm must also be present in the kitchen.
Before having your new alarm system installed, it is important to consider whether you would prefer it to be connected to your main electricity, or operate through batteries in a sealed battery alarm. Discussing this with our team will provide you with additional information on each type of alarm. Both alarms are guaranteed to be just as protective as one another.

Carbon Monoxide Detector
Although not every home will feature a carbon-fuelled appliance, a lot of them do. If you have appliances such as a boiler or a gas fire, a carbon monoxide detector is a must-have. Not everyone considers the risks and complications of carbon monoxide gas. However, this gas is known as the silent killer as it is tasteless and scentless. It is considered just as dangerous as fires for these reasons. Please note, that the carbon monoxide detector will not be linked to the fire alarm.
