Smoke, Fire & Gas Detection FAQs
Which smoke alarms should I use in a bed and breakfast?
We
recommend long-life battery-powered smoke alarms for B&Bs as they contain 10-year lithium batteries, which last the full life of the detector. We also offer a radio-interlinked option so that if one alarm detects a fire, all connected alarms go off.
Alternatively, you can install
mains powered alarms which are also available with long-life backup batteries and wireless interlinking.
