Welcome to TM Hughes & Son Electrical Services Ltd. We install Smoke, Heat, & Carbon Monoxide Alarms in Braintree and the surrounding areas.

Understanding Smoke, Heat & Carbon Monoxide Alarms

Smoke alarms identify smoke particles in the air and alert you if a fire starts.

Heat alarms respond to sudden rises in temperature, making them ideal for areas like kitchens or garages where normal cooking fumes or dust might trigger a false alarm in a regular smoke alarm.

Carbon monoxide (CO) alarms warn you about the killer gas without smell, taste, or colour. Carbon monoxide can come from faulty Boilers or blocked flues, so a CO alarm is essential if you have a fuel-burning appliance.

Why These Alarms Are Essential for Braintree Residents

In Braintree, properties vary in design. Some are older buildings with traditional heating systems, while others are new builds. Like all homes, they can experience fires or carbon monoxide leaks. Smoke, Heat and CO alarms reduce the risk of serious harm by warning you early to evacuate or deal with the problem before it worsens.

Wired vs. Battery-Powered Alarms

Wired alarms are best because they receive power from the home’s electrical supply. This means you do not have to worry about batteries dying, which often happens when you forget to replace them. Although battery alarms are cheaper upfront, wired alarms will save you money in the long run because of fewer battery replacements and less maintenance. Wired alarms still contain batteries as backups in an emergency and the electricity supply fails.

The Advantages of Interlinked Alarms

Interlinked alarms are connected. If one alarm goes off, they all sound, no matter where the fire or carbon monoxide leak is detected. Interlinked alarms are especially useful in larger homes or properties with multiple floors. If the alarm in the kitchen detects danger, you will also hear it upstairs in your bedroom immediately.

Insurance & Compliance for Homeowners and Landlords

Many insurance providers offer better rates if you have an alarm system. Landlords are also required to fit alarms by law. Installing these alarms shows you are taking care of your tenants and following safety rules.
