Why do I need a heat alarm in the kitchen, can I not just use a smoke alarm?  

General

11 September 2024

Unlike smoke alarms, heat alarms have been specifically designed for areas with fumes and high humidity e.g. kitchens where cooking fumes are present and attics or garages where there is lots of dust and usually high humidity. Nearly 50% of fires start in kitchens in domestic properties – installing a heat alarm in this room will mean you’re rapidly alerted to danger and reduce the number of nuisance alarms.
