Working Smoke Alarms Prevent Deaths

Smoke alarms in your home or business premises offer you the most precious gift of all in an emergency situation; time. The early detection and warning provided by smoke alarms gives you and your family or staff time to evacuate, before hidden smoke or flames would normally be smelt or heard by you.

A smoke alarm can reduce fatalities in a fire by a massive 90%, and doubles your chances of survival; if it is working, of course. A smoke alarm with a dead battery is as useful as a bicycle to a fish. Far worse, in fact, as it lulls you into a false sense of security. So, always test your alarms regularly, replace their batteries, and if in doubt as to whether one is working correctly, replace with a new smoke alarm rather than take the risk.

Is a Smoke Alarm a Legal Requirement?

While it’s not a legal requirement to have a smoke alarm in your own home, if you’re a landlord it’s worth knowing that all managed properties (everything other than your own private residence) must by law have at least one working smoke alarm on each floor of the building, and a carbon monoxide detector in any room with a fuel burning appliance. You can read the government guidelines on this here

The positioning of smoke alarms is important, as some units are not suitable for use near bathrooms or kitchens. If in doubt, email us for advice.

What Are the Best Home Smoke Alarms?

All the smoke alarms available to buy from Fire Protection Online are high-quality devices designed to keep you and your loved ones safe. 

The right alarm for your home will depend on a number of factors, including:

  • The size of the property
  • Where the alarm is going to be fitted
  • Type of property (flat, house etc.)

Our range of Kidde, Firex, First Alert and Dicon smoke alarms and smoke detectors feature a test button to test functionality and a distinctive audio 'chirp' sound indicating when the battery is low. So, you will always know when to replace your battery.

Carbon Monoxide Alarms

Carbon monoxide, or CO gas, is produced by faulty gas appliances, and is extremely dangerous. Our bodies regulate our breathing not by the amount of oxygen in our blood supply, but by the levels of CO2. When CO2 levels rise, we breathe in. However, carbon monoxide does not have the same effect. This colourless, odourless, tasteless gas reduces the amount of oxygen your blood can carry. Overexposure to carbon monoxide in concentration of over 100ppm results in carbon monoxide poisoning, which can prove fatal.

A mild dose due to exposure to concentrations under 100ppm results in headaches , dizziness, tiredness, nausea and being sick, symptoms which can be mistaken for flu. Carbon monoxide detectors, unlike humans, can detect very small concentrations of the gas in your home, and make sure you know about them as soon as possible! Our carbon monoxide detectors are ideal for the home or office environment, and come with batteries, a long, long warranty and that all-important low battery chirp warning. 

Every home with gas appliances or fires should have at least one detector - buy yours now from Fire Protection Online and don't forget the smoke alarms.
