A smoke alarm detects smoke particles using an optical or ionisation sensor, while a heat alarm detects temperature changes using a thermistor. Smoke alarms are designed for bedrooms, hallways and living rooms. Heat alarms are designed for kitchens, garages and utility rooms where smoke alarms would trigger false alarms from cooking or fumes. Most homes need both types for full coverage. See our guide on what fire alarms to install and where.

Heat alarms, like the Thermistek Heat Sensing Alarm, are ideal for kitchens, garages, or unconverted lofts. These areas benefit from the reduced likelihood of false alarms caused by fumes or dust.

This alarm has a quiet self-test function. A quiet self‑test allows you to ensure your alarm is working, without disturbing anyone else with a loud alarm.

See the installation instructions in the product box or product page for installation instructions.

In the UK, landlords must install at least one smoke alarm on every storey of a rental property where there is a room used as living accommodation. In addition, a carbon monoxide alarm must be fitted in any room with a solid fuel-burning appliance.
