Since 1992, building regulations have stated that any property built or substantially modified requires at least one smoke detector that is wired directly to the mains to be installed.This is for good reason, mains powered smoke detectors offer clear benefits over their battery powered alternatives.
A fire can strike at any time and when you least expect it, this is often during the night. It also spreads very rapidly , but the killer is the smoke. If you are asleep when a fire starts and you don't have a smoke detector to alert you to this , your chances of surviving are zero.
On average 270 of people killed in fires each year did not have a smoke detector , while over the last five years more than 70 people have been killed every year because their smoke detector didn't work - usually because the battery was missing or flat.This wouldn't happen with a mains powered smoke detector.A mains powered smoke detector is wired into your home lighting circuit so there are no worries of the detector being unplugged or removed.
Being connected to the lighting circuit , its also possible to have a series of mains powered smoke alarms in your home, and the activation of one smoke alarm will cause all others on the circuit to sound.
Mains powered smoke alarms are safer than battery only ones, also mains powered detectors have a rechargeable battery back up in the event of a power cut or power loss.
There are different requirements for the installation of fire detection systems, which varies between the purpose / use of each property.

!! Take Care When Selecting an Electrician !!
Many electricians in Bristol are simply not interested in the small jobs.They want the choice jobs and will drop you when a bigger,supposedly more lucrative project comes in.
Others advertise as electricians having no qualifications.They thrive on the basis that you don't understand what they do and as a result charging for shoddy,and often dangerous electrical work.
I set up Burridge Electrical to provide you with a quality service and provide you with exactly what you need from a qualified electrician.
