Smoke alarm installation: questions and answers

Can a new alarm be added to any existing alarm system?

Compatibility must be checked. Give the current alarm make and model and explain whether the proposed unit needs to interconnect with others.

Can the same alarm layout be used in every property?

No. Building layout, use and the intended system coverage affect the design. Existing alarms and interconnection also need assessment.

What affects the quotation for smoke alarm installation?

The agreed detection design, number of alarms, cable routes and compatibility affect the cost. A quotation should confirm the agreed investigation, repair and testing before work is arranged.
