On a few installs this week i came across a frightening fact. Everyone has mixed reviews about the new compliance laws which is their right, and many saying Insurance companies still saying no change to policies. However, before the law even existed you are required to change your smoke alarms every 10 years. It's something we walk by every day and don't think about its condition or if its working fine, you put the fresh battery in every year or so and forget about it!! The Scottish fire service states every home should change their Alarm detection systems every 10 years for maximum efficacy. Have a look at some we removed this week in the pictures... Look at date of install or even the statement from manufacturer saying when to replace it. These alarms were in Southcraigs Estate .. yes they may pic up toast burning or bacon cooking but will they pick up that phone charger smouldering or the Sky box catching fire? All these things that are plugged in 24/7. Will insurance pay out if your alarms are almost 20 years old??????
