Smoke and 
Fire Alarms

Smoke and Fire Alarms

​

A combined smoke and heat fire alarm is a multi-sensor device that identifies both smoke from a device or appliance that is starting to smoke to a smouldering fire and also the rapid increases in temperature within the room, providing a much more comprehensive fire detection solution.

 

This type of alarm is particularity useful in areas like bedrooms or hallways, where it can help to reduce false alarms compared to a standard smoke alarm.

 

Heat alarms, on the other hand, detect only heat and are best for kitchens, garages, or laundry rooms where cooking smoke or steam might activate a smoke alarm.

​

All smoke and heat alarms in a home should be interlinked, so if one sounds, they all sound simultaneously giving everyone in the property the warning.

​

More modern alarms can also be linked to your smart device including your phone meaning, even if you aren't home, you can be notified if smoke or heat is detected, they can even give you updates on whether the smoke or heat is clearing or getting worse.

​

Did you also know that these alarms have an expiry and should checked regularly? For more information please call us to chat about these life saving devices and book your home smoke and heat alarm installation.
