Did you know your smoke alarms have an expiry date?
Most domestic smoke alarms are designed to be replaced after 10 years. Over time the sensors become less reliable, meaning they may not respond as quickly in the event of a fire.
We recently carried out an inspection at a large residential property where several smoke alarms had exceeded their replacement date. All of the expired units were replaced, but the client wanted to go one step further.
We’ve upgraded the system with 10-year sealed battery, radio-interlinked smoke and heat alarms, meaning if one alarm activates, every alarm within the apartment sounds, giving occupants the earliest possible warning wherever they are.
It’s a simple upgrade that can make a huge difference when every second counts.
