FAQs - Smoke and Heat Alarms

A: Smoke alarms detect fine airborne particles and are ideal for living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways. Heat alarms are better for kitchens and garages, where steam or dust may trigger false alarms in smoke detectors.

A: Not always, but they are strongly recommended – especially in larger or multi-storey homes. For landlords in the private rental sector, certain types of alarms are legally required.

A: Yes – wireless interlinked systems are ideal for properties where running new cabling isn’t practical.
