Why Smoke Detectors Are Essential
Life-Saving Alerts
Smoke detectors provide early warnings of fire, allowing you and your family to evacuate safely. Having a working smoke alarm reduces the risk of dying in a reported fire by 50%.
Property Protection
Early detection helps mitigate damage to your home and possessions by allowing time to address small fires before they spread.
Insurance Benefits
Many insurance companies offer discounts for homes equipped with functioning smoke detectors, potentially lowering your premiums.

Common Pitfalls with Smoke Detectors
Expired and Incorrect Smoke Alarms
The image shows an expired ionisation smoke detector with a manufacturing date of April 12, 2014. These detectors are not recommended for domestic installations for several reasons:
- Expiration: Smoke detectors have a lifespan of 10 years from the manufacturing date. Using expired units compromises your safety.
- Ionisation Type: Ionisation detectors contain radioactive material and are less effective at detecting smouldering fires common in homes.
- Regulatory Compliance: Current standards recommend photoelectric smoke alarms for residential use due to their superior performance in detecting slow-burning fires.
