Smoke, Fire & Gas Detection FAQs

Which radio-interlinked smoke alarms do I need in my home?

To cover all the usual fire types within a home it is recommended that you install a selection of radio-interlinked smoke alarms. Install optical smoke alarms in hallways, landings, living rooms and bedrooms as well as heat alarms for the kitchen and garage.

It is also recommended to install a radio-interlinked carbon monoxide alarm if you have solid fuel appliances, open fires and wood burners. 

Multi-sensor radio-interlinked alarms use two detector types in one alarm, giving you the earliset fire warning possible.

You can purchase the radio-interlinked alarms separately or as a complete home alarm kit. Our Smoke Alarm Buying Guide explains more about smoke alarm types.
