For enhanced protection against fires at your home in Walton-on-Thames, you should think about smoke alarm and heat detector installation. As NICEIC approved electricians, we guarantee that all electrical work, wiring and installation is in line with building standards as your safety matters to us.
Why should I consider a smoke alarm and heat detector installation?
Statistics suggest that most household fires start in the kitchen, mostly occurring during the evening. To make sure your household and home in Walton-on-Thames doesn’t fall victim to fire hazards, we suggest you regard smoke alarm and heat detector installation for added protection against fires.
Heat detectors have advanced technology, recognising a temperature increase caused by fires. Similar to smoke alarms, heat detectors also have an alarm sound to alert occupants if a fire is detected.
Where should smoke alarms and heat detectors be installed?
The team at Precision Electrical Services have 15 years experience in the building trade, our electricians are kept up to date with ever changing regulations so we know all the ins and outs about where smoke alarms and heat detectors should be installed.
Smoke alarms need to be mounted on the ceiling, specifically 300mm from walls and light fixtures. Smoke alarms should ideally be installed in hallways and stairwells.
Heat detectors are ideal for places like the kitchen, garages and loft spaces. Our experienced team will identify any other locations once we visit your property for a site visit.
Benefits of installing both a smoke alarm and heat detector at my home?
We highly recommend the installation of both smoke alarms and heat detectors at your Walton-on -Thames property. You’ll find enhanced fire detection by both smoke alarm and heat detector installation as the combination will cover various types of fire risks.
Smoke alarms have the responsibility of saving lives by giving out early warning by detecting smoke particles from fires. This gives occupants the best chance of escaping a building quickly. Smoke alarms work 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, offering you continuous protection.
Heat detectors also produce a loud sounding alarm to alert individuals as soon as possible, giving you the chance to evacuate the property. We advise clients to consider interlink alarms for maximum protection. Interlink alarms work by triggering all alarms at the property when the first heat detector is activated.
Precision Electrical Services work closely with landlords and letting agents in Walton-on-Thames. We’re experienced with the legal side of smoke alarms and heat detector installations in rental properties. The Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarm Regulations 2022 provides specific requirements to follow to ensure tenants at the property are protected in the event of a fire. Failure to provide working alarms as mandated in the act can result in hefty fines of up to £5,000.
Whether you’re a homeowner, landlord or tenants, you can have peace of mind that you and your property is protected through smoke alarms and heat detectors installed by our experienced electricians.
