Smoke Alarm in Scottish Borders

Smoke alarms are important for every home. Each year, the Fire and Rescue Service go to over 600,000 fires which result in over 800 deaths. These incidents could be prevented by getting smoke alarms set up in each residence or business premises. Smoke alarms are self-contained devices that detect a fire and sound an alarm. They should be fitted to the ceiling, although in some properties you may see them fitted at the top of a wall. They are able to detect fires in their early stages, giving you time to react to a fire. There are different kinds of smoke alarms and they can be battery-powered or wired up to the mains electricity. Alarms that are powered by the mains are believed to be safer as you don’t have to worry about replacing the batteries when they run out. As long as you don’t have a power cut, the smoke alarm should detect fires and keep you and your loved ones safe. An electrician can help you set up a smoke alarm and connect it to your mains power.
