There are many types of smoke detectors on the market – including wired smoke alarms and radio smoke detectors – and each have minute differences when it comes to their installation. In general, battery-operated smoke detector installation involves attaching your detector to a wall or ceiling (as close to the centre of the room as possible) with screws or adhesive strips. If not battery-operated, smoke detectors must be hardwired by a professional – like us – for the most secure installation possible.
Smoke detectors are a legal requirement in any property and have been for many years. They’re necessary because they do exactly what their name suggests! They detect fires and give a loud warning, allowing for a swift and safe evacuation. Indeed, by investing in proper smoke detector installation, you cut your risk of dying in a home fire in half.
