    New smoke detectors law

    This new law coming in, noticed it’s saying a detector in every circulation space. What are we classing as circulation space? This mean every bedroom or will you still get away with having them within 2m of bedrooms?

    What is the situation regards different brands of smoke alarms on the same circuit. Got a house with AICO downstairs and Kidde upstairs all sharing the same interconnect wire on the one circuit. Is this against manufacturers instructions and whilst they may all sound if activated is it by fluke...

    Smoke Alarms (Scotland)

    Today I got a flyer in the post which stood out from the usual crap - from Aico telling me how my home must have interlinked alarms from Feb 2021. And this got me wondering, I don't think I know anyone with such a system. OK I have not been in many other hoses for most of 2020 for obvious...

    Domestic smoke alarm dates

    An electrician has reported that an out of date domestic smoke detector is a C2 on a EICR. The customer has asked me for a second opinion. I am thinking that it should be reported to the client, but as a max a C3. Any thoughts please.

    Aico smoke detector wiring

    Just about to start pulling in the cables for my smile detectors, however I dint have the detectors yet. Is there enough room in the terminals to terminate a supply feed in and then loop out to the next detector or is a junction box required to house the feed and a supply taken from every J/B?

    Smoke head in same room as DB

    The scenario is a fire alarm panel within several flats/houses fed from a landlord's DB. Apparently these qualify as HMOs despite being separate flats. The person who will be commissioning the fire alarm is adamant that a smoke head needs to be fitted in the same room as the DB in each flat. I...

    Aico smoke alarms and Texecom house alarm

    I am in the process of getting my house rewired and I forget to think about adding smoke alarms and a burglar alarm. As the house is getting a total redecoration then it would be worthwhile to do it now. I have been on the Aico website but it all seems a bit confusing - radio linked, audo...

    Domestic extention and smoke alarms

    Afternoon all, Ive looked at the building regs but can't seem to find anything, i remember reading something that said when fitting smoke alarms off a lighting circuit you need to put some form of isolation in, is that correct? I'm also looking to install nest alarms, do they all need to be...

    The apollo advanced mx pro panel is showing an error that a smoke detector is faulty but it seems to be blinking properly.

    Smoke alarms and regulations.

    I am fitting a heat detector in a new kitchen. The rest of the house has battery smoke detectors. I have quoted to update all smoke detectors to mains powered and radio linked. However, is it only my new work that has to comply? In other words do I have to update all other alarms? I guess my...

    Can radio linked smoke alarms be on different circuits, including a ring?

    I have just been to look at a job were the builder has started the first fix as I was unable to be there. He has forgotten to put in a cable to the heat detector in the kitchen, partly my responsibility as I should have reminded him more fully. My plan is to have it radio linked to the hallway...
