About this deal

Interlinked smoke alarms will use the same optical or ionisation technology mentioned above, so, they're not a type of alarm in their own right. Complaint with Scottish & English Regulations - 100% compliant with the new Scotland Regs (Feb 22) & England Regs (Oct 22). Certified to BS EN14604:2005, BS 5446-2:2003 & British Kitemark EN 50291-1 standards Easy Installation - Adhesive pads & screws are included with each alarm making installation a breeze. There is no need for special tools or to hire an electrician. Their distinguishing feature is the fact that they can be linked to other alarms, both heat and smoke alarms, so that when one senses danger they all sound.

Smoke particles change the balance of the current. When this happens a signal is sent to the integrated circuit and the alarm sounds. Wireless devices communicate with each other and other devices without the use of connecting wires. This can be through interlinking by radio or through wi-fi. Interlinking when one alarm goes off, all the connected detectors are activated. This can be particularly useful in a larger house. You can put them in kitchens and garages because they’re not prone to false alarms from cooking or exhaust fumes. But they are slower to respond than smoke alarms.Heat (thermal) alarms detect heat (hot air) instead of smoke. The alarm is triggered when the temperature within the sensor chamber reaches over 58 degrees Celsius – generally when a fire is well established. Smart smoke alarms are designed to sound the alarm when they detect smoke, as a conventional smoke alarm would. But the unique selling point of a smart smoke alarm is the ability to send alerts to your phone when there’s a fire. In Scotland, since February 2022, interlinked smoke and heat alarms have needed to be fitted in all homes.

Now that the alarms law has changed in Scotland, you'll need to install interlinked heat and smoke alarms in your home. An interesting by-product of the new breed of smart alarms is the fire-related data being collected, as is the case with Google, which makes the Nest Protect smoke and CO alarm. Google told us that it uses data from its alarms to provide ‘meaningful insights’ for its customers and to improve the product.If you buy a battery-powered smoke alarm (rather than a mains-powered one), you'll need to decide whether you want one with a replaceable 9V battery, or sealed fixed-life battery

Ionisation alarms ionise the air between two electrodes. These are positively and negatively charged, creating a small current inside the chamber. These alarms are more sensitive to smaller particles of smoke produced by the flaming stage of fires than optical alarms, and more easily triggered by cooking – causing false alarms. On a lighter note, Google’s data also revealed that the day when smoke alarms are most likely to sound in the UK is pancake day. Is the Nest Protect smoke and CO alarm suitable for homes in Scotland now that the law has changed?
