Benefits of a hardwired/ mains powered smoke alarm
Fairway Electrical Bristol recommends a hardwired/ mains powered smoke alarm due to their many benefits over a battery operated one. Hardwired smoke alarms are more reliable, using physical wiring to transmit signals making them more unlikely to be affected by any interference or loss of signal. They also have a back up battery that will continue to work in the event of a power failure. With two sources of power the hardwired option is less likely to ever fail you. A hardwired smoke alarm also offers a continual sound until such time they are turned off even if your home is subjected to loss of power.

A mains powered alarm will connect to your Bristol homes power supply and again have a backup battery. The only stipulation with these options is that they be installed by Fairway Electrical Bristol being fully qualified to do so.
