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

Installing effective smoke, heat, and carbon monoxide alarms is essential to make your property safe. These alarms give you critical time to deal with emergencies and evacuate your property if necessary.

Types of Alarms and Their Roles

• Smoke Alarms: Detect smoke in the air and are often installed in hallways, bedrooms, and living rooms.
• Heat Alarms: These alarms respond to high temperatures, making them useful in kitchens or garages where smoke alarms can be triggered too easily by cooking fumes or dust.
• Carbon Monoxide Alarms: Carbon monoxide is a gas with no smell or taste, making it impossible to detect without an alarm. A CO alarm is essential if you have a gas cooker, fire or Boiler (any fuel-burning appliance)

Why Every Grays Property Should Have Alarms

Grays has different housing types, including terraced homes, semi-detached properties, and flats. No matter where you live, fires and carbon monoxide leaks can occur. Installing these alarms will help stop a small problem from becoming a major disaster. Early warnings give you and your family enough time to either tackle the source of the problem (if it is safe to do so) or leave the house and call the emergency services.

Wired vs. Battery Systems – Which One Wins?

Wired alarm systems use your home’s electrical supply. This is a big advantage because you do not need to worry about changing batteries or forgetting to replace them. Battery alarms are simpler to fit but rely on remembering to change batteries. Once installed properly, Wired systems last longer and require zero effort to keep working.

Interlinking for Total Home Coverage

If you have multiple alarms, linking them together will increase your home’s level of protection. If the alarm in the kitchen sounds, every alarm in the house will sound. Interlinking ensures everyone in the home is alerted instantly. Important if your property is spread over multiple floors or you have heavy sleepers in the home.

Insurance and Compliance in Grays

Some insurers look favourably on properties with alarm systems, often offering better insurance quotes. For landlords, Smoking and CO alarms are a legal requirement.
