Hi All
With the upcoming change to the law in scotland that says all smoke alarms need to be interlinked looming on the horizon I've been looking around at interlinked systems and Im wondering. as it is I have mains powered smoke alarms in most of the locations covered by the regs
When I look at mains powered replacements they state that the need to be fitted by an electrician. What I can't seem to find out, is this the assumption that an electrician is required to provide amins connections or would even swapping the existing smoke alarms need to be done by an electrician and signed off?
Also the house currently has a smoke alarm in the kitchen and one in the downstairs bedroom which is accessed from the kitchen. anything that produces the slightest whiff of smoke will set these off. I know the kitchen can be replaced with a heat alarm, but can the same be done for the bedroom?
