Smoke & heat alarms
Smoke Alarm Electrician in Washington
Interlinked mains alarms mean a fire anywhere in the house sets off every alarm. We fit them, test them together and label the circuit.
Mains alarms with battery backup stay powered, and when they’re interlinked, an alarm in the kitchen sets off the one on the landing too, so you hear it with the bedroom door shut.
We fit smoke alarms in halls, landings and living areas, a heat alarm in the kitchen, and CO alarms near fuel-burning appliances. Radio-linked alarms avoid lifting floors.
