    Connecting new Smokes to existing on Extension.

    Hi all, just fitted out 2 storey extension to house and BC asked if new smokes were interlinked with existing smoke on Landing. Existing is Battery only, do I have to change existing? If so, does that go onto fitting new to Kitchen/hall aswell? Can't find anything in Building regs. Thanks, Kev.

    Nest Smokes (heat?)

    Hi Guys Just seeing if anyone knows for definite if Nest have a heat capability or not yet? Have a new build coming up which obviously needs smokes & heat ? And they have specified Nest throughout. I'm thinking not possible yet and doubt very much they'd be a way of linking into an Aico heat...

    Fire Angel Heat and Smokes

    Hi Guys, Looking at wireless heat and smoke detectors that can be interlinked. Fire Angel do a range of these. Just want to know, are these ok seeing as they're wireless? Do heat/smokes have to be hard wired? Or will these wireless ones that can be linked be ok? Thanks T

    Smokes wired to a JB?

    Have a bit of an awkward run at a job and was debating whether it was easier to wire all the interlinked smokes to a Wago box or JB. They are Aiko smoke alarms and wanted to know whether anyone has done this before and would it make any difference?

    Which smokes to fit - mains or battery powered?

    I don't normally get involved in this but have been asked by customer to fit smoke alarms - this is for a property that will be rented out. I know that mains powered smokes used to be the way to go in this situation as tenants tended to take out the PP3 batteries to use in other equipment...

    Apollo Smokes - Wiring

    Afternoon all, I've attached an old smoke from the 70s (I believe), struggling to find a wiring diagram. Basically, the current wiring is all red in colour so it's hard to discern what's what.

    Mains smoke alarms

    Evening, I've just been asked to install some mains powered smoke alarms to a customers property, can I still add these to an existing lighting circuit (if the alarms have a battery back up) or do I need a dedicated RCD Controlled circuit from the CU?

    As BS7671 makes no mention of domestic smoke and heat detectors where on the EIC should they go, aside from the old own circuit/ shared with light circuit debate, a discussion with the BCO has prompted this, Pict

    Lighting on end of smokes

    Been asked by a neighbour to change all white accessories for chrome ones and put up new fancy light fittings in their 3-storey house. Whilst doing some quick testing on the (newish) lighting circuits I found the circuit supplying the top floor lights is a bit odd, there are 5 wired interlinked...

    smoke - heat - carbon alarms

    I will be installing several smoke - heat and carbon monoxide detectors shortly as per spec. I've not done carbon monoxide detectors before. I take it, electrically wiring them is the same as smoke and heat detectors. They will be wired and interconnected on one circuit and protected by a RCBO...
