Smoke / Heat Detectors

Smoke alarms detect smoke – fit them in all rooms where a fire might start. But in smoky or steamy rooms like your kitchen or bathroom, a heat alarm is more suitable. These alarms go off when the room reaches a certain temperature.

Smoke and heat detectors are sensors you will want to add to any system. These devices let a panel know if there is a fire in the building. An activated smoke and heat detector will cause an instant alarm. Your system will take action based on your monitoring plan.

In most cases, we recommend using a smoke detector over a heat detector. This is because a smoke detector will typically detect a fire more quickly than a heat detector. But in some areas, a smoke detector may not be appropriate.
