Hard-Wired Fire Alarms
Mains-powered, hard-wired fire alarms are the recommended choice for most permanent home installations.
They draw power directly from your home’s electricity supply, so you are not relying on batteries to keep your family protected.
All hard-wired systems include a battery backup to ensure the alarm continues to function during a power cut.
We install interlinked hard-wired systems where every alarm in the property activates simultaneously — so wherever you are in the house, you will hear it.
Battery-Powered Fire Alarms
Battery-powered alarms are for where hard-wiring is not possible or practical.
For example, in older properties, rented accommodation, or situations where minimal disruption is a priority.
Modern long-life lithium battery alarms can last up to ten years without a battery change.
We can advise on the right battery alarm for your property and ensure it is positioned correctly for maximum coverage and minimum false activations.
Who Needs a Domestic Fire Alarm?
All homes benefit from a working fire alarm system. In particular, we recommend a professional installation review if:
- Your existing alarms are more than 10 years old
- You have recently moved into a new property and are unsure of the system in place
- You have had a loft conversion, extension, or significant renovation
- You are a landlord — domestic fire alarm requirements for rental properties in England are set out in the Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarm Regulations
- Your current alarms are battery-only and prone to false alarms or beeping
