Working smoke and heat alarms give you and your family vital extra time to escape in a fire. Atlas Electrical installs mains-wired, interlinked smoke and heat alarms in Nottingham for homeowners, landlords and HMOs, positioned and wired to the relevant British Standard, BS 5839-6.
Why Choose Mains-Wired Alarms?
- Reliable power: alarms run from the mains with a battery back-up.
- Interlinked: when one alarm sounds, they all sound – so you hear it wherever you are in the house.
- Right alarm, right place: smoke alarms for hallways, landings and living areas; heat alarms for kitchens, where smoke alarms can give false alarms.
- Compliance: mains-wired systems are often required in new builds, major renovations and HMOs.
Smoke Alarms for Landlords
Landlords in England must fit at least one smoke alarm on every storey of a rented home used as living accommodation, and a carbon monoxide alarm in any room with a fixed combustion appliance (excluding gas cookers). Alarms must be in working order at the start of each new tenancy. We can install compliant systems and combine the work with your EICR.
Our Installation
We assess your property, recommend the right type and number of alarms, install them on a suitable circuit and test that every unit is interlinked and working. Alarms are easiest to fit during a rewire or renovation, but we can install them in occupied homes with minimal mess.
Smoke Alarm FAQs
How often should alarms be replaced?
Most manufacturers recommend replacing smoke and heat alarms after around ten years – check the date on the unit.
