Frequently Asked Questions
How often should smoke alarms be replaced?
Most smoke alarms have a lifespan of around 10 years. After this time, sensors lose sensitivity, making the alarm less reliable. Even if an alarm still sounds during testing, it may not detect smoke quickly enough. Replacing units on schedule ensures your household remains properly protected in the event of a fire.
Where should smoke alarms be installed?
Alarms should be positioned near bedrooms, hallways, and main escape paths. Larger homes or multi-storey properties may require additional units for proper coverage. Placing alarms in kitchens or bathrooms isn’t recommended due to steam and cooking smoke, but nearby placement ensures adequate warning. Correct positioning improves early detection and response time.
Do I need to replace my dimmer switches with LEDs?
Lonisation alarms respond quickly to flaming fires but may cause more false alarms near kitchens. Photoelectric alarms detect smouldering fires earlier and are now the recommended type for most households. They’re more reliable for a wide range of fire situations and provide safer, earlier warning when installed in the correct locations.
