Our FireAngel special offer combines a 10 year sealed battery powered optical smoke alarm with a 10 year sealed battery powered carbon monoxide detector. Once installed and activated, these high quality alarms with combined test/hush button will provide a full 10 years of protection from smoke and CO without the need to change batteries.
Q. What are the regulations to testing CO detectors? Do I need to use test gas?
A.
There is no legal or BSI requirement to test the CO detectors with a test gas. A weekly check with the test button is fully sufficient if you choose a quality CO detector. The test gas is offered as a 'belts and braces' option.
Q. Do I need an ionisation or optical smoke alarm?
A.
We recommend using an optical smoke alarm in hallways, as these are less likely to go off because of cooking fumes from a connected kitchen. Optical smoke alarms are also ideal for living rooms, dining rooms, bedrooms, as they are good at detecting smouldering fires from soft furnishings. For landings we recommend ionisation alarms. Heat alarms are designed for kitchens and garages. No alarms should be installed in bathrooms.
Q. Can I put my smoke alarm on the wall, or must it be mounted on the ceiling?
A.
The best location to install your smoke alarm is in the centre of the ceiling rather than on the wall. During a fire, smoke initially rises and then spreads to the sides of the room. By installing the alarm on the ceiling, this ensures that you receive the earliest possible warning of a fire.
Q. What is the best way to test my alarm?
A.
We recommend testing alarms by pressing the test button built-in to the unit, as this is designed to simulate the detection of the target stimuli (usually smoke, heat, or CO) at the alarm sensor. You should test your alarms regularly to ensure they are protecting building occupants, preferably every week. For more detailed guidance, check the manual included with your alarm.
Q. How long do smoke alarms last before needing replacement?
A.
It is recommended that smoke alarms are replaced after 10 years. This is because the sensors in the smoke alarms become less sensitive and may not activate when a fire is present.

Value for money
The fire angel carbon monoxide alarm has elaborate instructions for testing on a regular basis involving lighting a match to see if it goes off. The Honeywell alarm which i also purchased doesn't advise this you just test it each week by pressing a button. I doubt many people will follow the fire angel instructions. if id known about them i would have purchased 2 of the Honeywell alarms instead of going for the value bundle of a smoke alarm and co alarm. That is why I've given 3 stars ok - the fire angel smoke alarm is good.
