Really? I didn’t know that. Is that a new building regulation?Yes new build or extensions must have hardwired linked smoke alarms with battery back up fitted/ heat alarms.
Well this just seems silly. Happy to put a hardwired heat alarm in extension but not putting hardwired alarms in rest of house this would mean chopping a few things about etc. Especially when I already have a perfectly functioning system. What are the benifits of a hardwired system? The battery and hardwired systems both seem like they need replacing after 10 years anyway.Yes new build or extensions must have hardwired linked smoke alarms with battery back up fitted/ heat alarms. change them all to hardwired linked while you are at it
Definitely sensible - but, as TTC asked, what is the regulation that you think requires this (and has required it, from 1992 or whenever)?Any new build or extension should have at least one hard wired smoke alarm fitted, I think from 1992 .
Deserve all they get reallyAlarms do beeps when running low, but so many people remove the battery and never replace
