Types of smoke alarm

The two main types of smoke alarm are wireless and mains-powered (hardwired)

Each have their own benefits but both are good at keeping your family safe from fires. If you are not sure which type of smoke detector is right for your home, please get in touch and we can advise you.

​

Interlinked Wireless Smoke Alarms

Wireless interlinked long life, lithium battery smoke alarms are not the same as user-replaceable battery smoke alarms. They are special tamper-proof smoke alarms and come with a 10-year guarantee. The expiry date should be visible on each alarm. This type of smoke alarm tends to be more expensive to buy but because they have no wires, they are usually cheaper to install.

​

Interlinked Mains-Powered Smoke Alarms

Interlinked mains powered (hardwired) smoke alarms and heat detectors are still a good option for many people as they don’t rely on batteries. These smoke alarms tend to be cheaper to buy but can cost more to install as they have to be wired into your electricity supply.

​

Fire alarm

Not only does it provide early warning in the event of a fire, but it also allows you to take appropriate action before it's too late. This could save lives—both yours and anyone else who might be inside the building at the time.

​

Early fire detection (EFD) systems can be a vital component to business facilities and places of employment. These systems are responsible for protecting lives and property while reducing the effects of a fire. By detecting the presence of a fire in its early stages, these smart EFD systems can alert building occupants and emergency responders with ample time to take appropriate action and extinguish the fire or evacuate the building.
