If your home already has fire alarms fitted, you need to make sure they are interconnected one with each other, and that they are located in the required rooms as required for minimum standards. Please click here to check our visual explanation of where your alarms must be located.

To be compliant with the Scottish Legislation and to make your house a safe place you are required to install smoke and heat alarms which must be interconnected. If you have a carbon-fuelled appliance – like a boiler, fire, heater or flue – in any room, you must also have a carbon monoxide detector in that room, but this does not need to be linked to the fire alarms.

Smoke and Heat Alarms are required to be interconnected. You may not hear the alarm closest to the fire but, by having an interlinked system, you will be alerted immediately in whatever room you are. The Carbon Monoxide Detector can be used as a standalone detector to reduce the risk of confusing fires and Carbon Monoxide leaks

The minimum protection standards requires one smoke alarm installed in the room most frequently used for general daytime living purposes; one smoke alarm in every circulation space on each storey, such as hallways and landings; one heat alarm in every kitchen; one carbon monoxide detector where there is a carbon-fuelled appliance, such as boilers.

For maximum protection we recommend to install one smoke alarm in every bedroom and additional day-time areas; one smoke alarm in converted lofts; one heat alarm in the garage and utility room. These additional alarms are not required by law, but do increase the fire safety of your home.

You can either call an electrician or install the alarms yourself. To avoid the extra cost incurred in fitting and re-decorations, the battery-powered alarms are the best solution for your home. Battery-powered alarms are fully compliant with the new Scottish Regulations.

As the new standards for fire and smoke alarms extend those which currently apply in the Private Rented Sector PRS to housing of all tenures, your landlord should already be complying. If this is not the case, you must contact your landlord immediately and ensure maximum protection to all the tenants in your home.

If there is no carbon-fuelled appliances in your home, no CO detector is required.

The upcoming laws require all smoke and heat alarms to be ceiling-mounted. In any case where it is not possible to mount a ceiling alarm, for instance due to asbestos concerns, battery-operated alarms that can be wall mounted may be used.

If you have asbestos and still wish to have your alarms ceiling-mounted, you can use strong adhesive pads supplied with our fire alarms.

FireGuard+ Interlinked Smoke and Heat alarms are compliant with the new regulation. FireGuard+ detectors meet the safety standard BS EN14604:2005 and BS 5446-2:2003. Carbon Monoxide Alarms comply with EN 50291-1. FireGuard+ Smoke and Heat detectors have a 10 years tamper-proof lithium battery. Please find more information on each bundle page.

We made it easy, you will not need to call an electrician to install our fire alarm system. FireGuard+ alarms are wirelessly interconnected and long-life battery powered. You can either use screws and anchors, or strong adhesive pads to fit your alarms in minutes. Please follow our installation video guide here.

FireGuard+ Interlinked Smoke Alarms have a Photoelectric sensor that detects smoke particles in the area the detectors are fitted. FireGuard+ Interlinked Heat Alarms have a Thermistor sensor that detects excess of heat in the area the detector is fitted. Having two different devices is essential to avoid false alarms in sensible areas such as kitchens.

You can interconnect up to 25 smoke and heat alarms together.

You can purchase multiple bundles and interlink together up to 25 FireGuard+ Alarms. Please find more information about bundles on the dedicated page here.

If you require a custom solution, please use our contact page and we will provide our best quotation for your needs.

You can press on one of the fire alarms to mute them all; alternatively, you can use the top button of the remote controller supplied with your kit - just press it once to hush the alarms. This is handy in large properties, and in those with high ceilings.

FireGuard+ alarms have an incorporated radio transmitter which allows the detectors to interconnect with offline radio-frequencies. No Internet connection is required for the alarms to operate in your home.

Even if you experience issues with your Wi-Fi Internet connection in certain areas of your home, you should not be worried about our wire-free alarms which work on a different type of frequencies. FireGuard+ fire alarms have stronger signal penetration and a much lower chance of interference.

Once all the alarms have been linked together, the system created is closed and will not interfere with other FireGuard+ systems nearby.
