Scottish Government video letting everyone know about the legal requirement for smoke detector provision in dwellings.

​

This is a requirement for all landlords since 2015 or so and for private properties from February 2022.

​

There is a mistake in the video----

The ad shows a smoke alarm on a beam- smoke alarms should be installed on the highest part of the ceiling and NOT on beams (not to BS 5839 part 6)

​

Aico information video

​

abc Electrical are proud to install Aico smoke and heat alarms.

​

We have installed hundreds (if not thousands) of Aico smoke alarms and NEVER had a failure of an Aico alarm due to a product defect.

​

We have had Aico alarms fail for the following reasons:

  • Roof leak on a mains detector (unit kept going off to alert something was wrong), leak fixed unit replaced

  • Roof leak on a battery unit -again the unit alarmed to alert something was wrong

  • Tenant beat it to death with a brush after he burnt the toast (did not know / care about the LARGE hush button)

​

We also provide BS 5839 Part 6 smoke detector provision for alarms we install (included in the cost)

This could provide useful for future reference

​

Does YOUR installer provide you with smoke detector certificates?
