Buy Smoke Alarms and Fire Alarms at Great Prices

According to official figures, there are around 600,000 fires that result in 800 deaths and 17,000 injuries, with 50,000 of these taking place in the home. Many of these deaths and injuries could have been avoided if working smoke alarms and fire alarms had been installed, as individuals would have received an early warning and enabled them to get out of their home in time. The facts are extremely simple, a smoke detector is twice more likely to save your life in the event of a fire when compared against a home or premise without one fitted.

As they are available from around £20.00, there really is no excuse not to have an alarm fitted, especially as it could literally save the lives of you and your family.

At Alert Electrical, we only sell smoke alarms, fire alarms, and carbon monoxide alarms by trusted brands, including respected manufacturers such as ESP, Fire Angel, Aico, Eaton Fire, Fike, and EU Fire.

Types of Alarms Available

There are a variety of smoke alarm systems available to buy, including ionisation, optical, and heat.

Ionisation alarms are the cheapest option and, although they are slightly less sensitive to slow burning and smouldering fires, they can quickly detect fires caused by burning paper and wood. The Aico Ionisation Smoke Alarm EI141RC is the ideal choice if this type of system is your preference.

Optical alarms are slightly less sensitive to fast flaming fires, but are extremely good at detecting slow-burning fires caused by furniture and PVC wiring. These are relatively expensive overall but, if you can afford them, they are certainly worth owning for added safety. The Aico Optical Smoke Alarm EI146RC is the perfect choice and is highly popular with our customers.

Heat alarms detect the increase in temperature from a fire and are insensitive to smoke, therefore they are ideal for kitchen installation. The downside of these though is that they only cover a fairly small area, therefore there is a strong chance you would require a number of heat alarms to cover a larger kitchen area.

Carbon monoxide detectors, or Carbon Monoxide alarms provide an early warning of the presence of CO in your home. Every year in there are around 60 deaths from accidental carbon monoxide poisoning in England and Wales, meaning that owning a carbon monoxide alarm really can safe your live one day.

How Many Alarms Do I Need?

The answer to this question largely depends on the size of your home or office. The more rooms you have, the more alarms are recommended to help provide a greater level of protection. 

In short though, fires can start anywhere, so it is highly recommended that you own at least one alarm downstairs and another upstairs, although more is advised for larger homes.
