What is the difference between a smoke alarm and heat alarm?

General

11 September 2024

Smoke alarms detect the presence of smoke in the air and are designed to provide an early warning in case of fire. They are typically installed in living areas, bedrooms, and hallways.
Heat alarms detect rapid increases in temperature and are ideal for use in kitchens, garages, and areas where smoke might not be a reliable indicator due to fumes or steam.
