Smoke & heat alarms
Smoke Alarm Electrician in Harrogate
Interlinked mains alarms mean a fire anywhere in the house is heard everywhere. We fit them, label the circuit and test them together.
Mains alarms with battery backup stay powered, and when they’re interlinked, a fire in the kitchen sets off every alarm in the house. That matters most in taller houses, where you might not hear a basement alarm from a top-floor bedroom.
We fit smoke alarms on landings, hallways and living areas, heat alarms in kitchens and CO alarms near fuel-burning appliances, with the alarm circuit clearly marked at the board. Radio-interlinked alarms avoid lifting floors in older houses.
Upgrade your alarms if

Alarms in Harrogate’s taller houses
Many of Harrogate’s Victorian houses have three or four storeys, cellars included. Interlinking is the only reliable way to make sure an alarm on one floor is heard on all of them.
