Alternative To Interlinked Smoke Alarms
If you are a landlord it is an absolute must that you protect your tenants against the potential risk of fire and carbon monoxide poisoning.
Statistics show that tenants and people living in shared accommodation are seven times more likely to have a fire.
It can be expensive and disruptive to your property to have interlinked smoke detectors fitted as they need to be channelled in, floorboards removed or have ugly plastic trunking fitted everywhere. If you don’t know what ionization and optical means (does your electrician know this?) then it can be confusing too.
This confusion attributes to false alarms, detectors being covered or even removed altogether by tenants.
There are interlinked smoke alarm systems out there that can simplify choice and make installation of fire systems a whole lot easier without the disruption and mess of having the standard wired in systems. They use a technology called Thermoptek – the very latest in optical sensing and thermal enhancement providing fast reaction to both slow and fast burning fires.
These systems are up to the current fire regs standard and only need to be wired in to the lighting circuit once on each floor as the rest of detectors will link wirelessly with Wi safe 2 technology. Up to 50 detectors can be linked in one network.
Each detector unit is fitted with a 10 yr sealed for life battery which will give you peace of mind knowing that all the alarms will work in the event of a power cut plus will also ensure empty properties are protected too.
This technologically advanced interlinked smoke alarm system will also save on energy as there is less power needed to run them thus saving you on your energy bills too.
