The difference between a heat alarm and a smoke alarm?
As its name suggests, a heat alarm will trigger once it detects that there’s a perceptible increase in heat in its vicinity. A heat detector is usually used in rooms where there is excessive dust or fumes – for instance, a garage or cellar – which a smoke alarm can mistake for dust, soot or combustible elements in the atmosphere. It’s also used in rooms where highly-flammable chemicals are stored.
Where to install a heat detector system?
The best heat detector locations are:
- As close to the centre of a room as possible
- At least 4 inches from a wall or corner
- Ideal for garages, boiler rooms, lofts or areas that have high levels of fumes, smoke or dust
For the best protection, use in conjunction with smoke alarms.
