Heat alarms are designed for installation in smoky or dusty environments such as kitchens or garages, as they will not 'false alarm' due to cooking fumes or emissions from a car exhaust. Heat alarms work by detecting a rise in temperature rather than smoke particles in the atmosphere. Some heat alarms even measure the speed of the temperature rise.
We also offer a heat alarm specifically designed to monitor the area above a cooker to detect if an oven ring has been left on or a pan dries out (Stove Guard).
Ideal for rooms like garages, kitchens, and lofts where dust or fumes would cause false activations of smoke alarms, the UltraFire ULLH10 features a sealed 10 year battery and 10 year manufacturer's warranty.
The UltraFire ULLH10RF features a sealed 10 year battery and wireless interlink with up to 15 total alarms to alert the whole house of a possible fire emergency. Ideal for kitchens, garages, basements, and lofts.
This Firehawk FHN450BB mains powered heat alarm features replaceable alkaline battery backup, and interlinks with other 250BB/RB smoke and 450BB/RB heat alarms in the FHN range.
Heat alarms are recommended for installing in kitchens and garages, where smoke or cooking fumes could cause false alarms in traditional smoke alarms. Heat alarms detect heat, rather than smoke, which makes them ideal for areas where dust, steam, and 'normal' smoke fumes (such as during cooking) are present, and would ordinarily cause a smoke alarm to falsely activate.
Smoke alarms are recommended for installing in most rooms of the house, including bedrooms, living rooms, and hallways (general living areas). Optical smoke alarms are designed to quickly detect smoke from all sources, and are also able to detect smoke from slower, smouldering fires.
Heat alarms work by detecting a rise in temperature, rather than detecting smoke particles in the atmosphere like traditional smoke alarms. This is why they are most suited to areas where smoke alarms falsely activate. Most commonly, these areas include kitchens and garages. For more accurate detection, some heat alarms also measure the rate at which temperature rises so they can provide an earlier warning of danger.
Heat Alarms can be installed in areas where traditional smoke alarms would falsely activate due to 'normal' smoke fumes (such as during cooking), vapours, dust, and damp. Heat alarms are recommended for kitchens and garages. Always refer to the manufacturer's instructions for your alarm for detailed alarm placement guidance.
