What kind of fire alarm system do I need for my home?

The type of fire alarm that’s right for your home is based on your property’s size, layout and risk level. General guidelines are:

• Standard homes – Fitting smoke alarms on each floor in hallways and landings may be sufficient
• Large houses with complex layouts or higher risk (i.e., multiple stories or vulnerable occupants) – A full fire alarm system is more appropriate. This will include detectors, a control panel, and a wired interconnection
• Landlords and commercial properties – You'll likely need a higher Grade A system to meet regulations

An experienced fire alarm installer will assess your property and recommend what’s right for you.

Do I need an electrician to install a fire alarm?

For simple battery-operated smoke alarms you can, in theory, install them yourself. A general electrician can also help fit them.

But for wired, wireless and app-enabled fire alarm systems, you’ll want to hire a checked installer.
