How to Make the Most of Your Smoke Alarms
Smoke detectors only benefit your family if they have been properly installed, are well maintained and if you have chosen the correct type of alarm. We highly recommend hardwired smoke detector installation for all homes (in fact, this is compulsory for new builds). The alarm draws power from the mains, so it is always on, and has a battery backup for blackouts. This is much safer than battery-only detectors where the battery is the only power source and creates a singular point of failure.
Placement is another important factor to make sure you are using your smoke alarms correctly. You’re not going to catch a kitchen fire if your smoke alarm is in the linen cupboard. Airflow, size of a room, and room type are all factors that go into choosing where a smoke alarm should be placed. This is best done in consultation with a professional who has years of experience in installing these units. Placement is crucial when it comes to smoke alarms, for quick activation in the event of a fire.

Boden was so helpful and efficient in communicating with me. Glenn did the work on the day: he was so understanding and helped me problem solve about one situation. I am very pleased with Glenn’s work and he even cleaned up after himself! Highly recommended.
