The importance of having a hard wired smoke and heat detection system in your household is paramount, the advantages of having a complete interlinked wired system means that should a smoke alarm be activated all other alarms linked in the system will sound the alert as well giving you advanced valuable minutes should the worst happen.

Smoke Alarms v Heat Alarms whats the difference ?

Smoke Alarms simply detect smoke – these should be fitted in all rooms where a fire could start, but in Smoky or Steamy rooms like your Kitchen or Bathroom, a Heat Alarm is more appropriate. These will alert once a room reaches a certain temperature. Fitting a Heat Alarm in your Kitchen will give you a warning of an increase in temperature caused by a fire but will not be set off by cooking fumes.

The correct Alarm placement is crucial to obtain a complete Fire Alert system.
