You are more than twice as likely to die in a fire at home if you haven't got a smoke alarm. A smoke alarm is the easiest way to alert you to the danger of fire, giving you precious time to escape.
Maximum security is afforded when your smoke alarms are linked together and are mains-powered with battery backup
Callsafe Electrical provide two types of smoke alarms to British Standard 5446, Part 1
Ionisation alarms
These are the cheapest and most readily available and are very sensitive to flaming fires (ones that burn fiercely such as chip-pan fires). Ionisation alarms will detect flaming fires before the smoke gets too thick.
Optical alarms
These are more expensive and more effective at detecting slow-burning fires (such as smouldering foam-filled furniture or overheated wiring). Optical alarms are less likely to go off accidentally and so are best for ground-floor hallways and for homes on one level.
Don't take unnecessary risks. Callsafe Electrical can install smoke alarms in any size of property with a minimum of fuss and disruption. |
