Welcome to TM Hughes & Son Electrical Services Ltd. We install Smoke, Heat and Carbon Monoxide alarms in Loughton.

Fitting smoke, heat, and carbon monoxide alarms in all key areas of your property is one of the best things you can do to protect yourself and your family. They notify you of fire or CO gas. Both can be deadly, so alarms are essential.

Smoke, Heat & Carbon Monoxide Alarms Explained

Smoke alarms detect signs of a fire by sensing the presence of smoke in the air.

Heat alarms measure temperature rises, making them better for kitchens or utility areas, where normal cooking smoke or steam might set off a smoke alarm.

Carbon monoxide alarms pick up on carbon monoxide levels, which is always risky when burning appliances are on a property.

Why Every Loughton Resident Needs Alarms

Loughton’s housing varies, ranging from old houses to brand-new flats. Many older homes have older heating systems, and some even have open fireplaces, raising the chance of carbon monoxide issues. Even if you live in a modern flat, a fire or carbon monoxide leak can still happen unexpectedly. Having the right alarms in place is essential for every type of property.

The Superiority of Wired Alarms

Wired alarms get their power directly from your home’s electrical supply. They need less maintenance than battery alarms. Battery alarms require regular checks and replacements. If a battery dies without you noticing, the alarm will not be able to alert you in an emergency. Wired alarms will always work, and backup batteries will be provided in case of power failure.

Interlinked Systems for Maximum Protection

Interlinked alarms are extremely effective. If a fire starts in one room, every alarm in the home will sound together, giving everyone instant awareness of the emergency. This is particularly helpful for properties with multiple levels. You could be upstairs and still hear the alarm if a fire occurs downstairs. Everyone is alerted instantly and can get out safely.

Impact on Insurance and Landlord Responsibilities

Alarms can help with insurance, as some providers offer better deals on properties with approved alarms. For landlords in Loughton, there are also legal obligations to fit alarms to protect tenants.
