How Smoke, Heat And Carbon Monoxide Alarms Work

Smoke, Heat, and Carbon Monoxide Alarms are safety devices that protect people and property. 

They are engineered to detect potential threats – smoke or fire, rapid increase in heat, and harmful levels of carbon monoxide. Each represents different types of dangers.

Smoke Alarms

A Smoke Alarm uses ionization or photoelectric sensors to identify the presence of smoke, a byproduct of fire. 

Ionization smoke alarms quickly detect fast, flaming fires, whereas photoelectric alarms are more responsive to fires that begin with a long period of smouldering. They are typically placed in bedrooms and hallways.

Heat Alarms

Heat Alarms respond to a rise in temperature, not smoke. These are predominantly installed in kitchens or garages, where smoke alarms might be susceptible to false alerts due to cooking fumes or dust.

Carbon Monoxide Alarms

Carbon Monoxide Alarms detect the presence of carbon monoxide gas, a deadly, colourless, and odourless compound often released from inefficiently burning appliances or blocked chimneys. 

CO alarms are essential for buildings using fuel-burning appliances, offering early warning of carbon monoxide presence, an invisible gas that can kill.
