While smoke alarms are essential for most living spaces, they aren’t always the best choice for every environment. In places like kitchens, garages, or dusty workshops, smoke particles from cooking, exhaust, or debris can trigger false alarms. This is where heat detectors shine. Instead of sensing smoke, these devices respond to a rapid rise in temperature or when a preset threshold is reached. This makes them ideal for high-risk areas where fires may ignite without significant smoke production.

Heat detectors can be standalone devices or part of an integrated fire safety system. When connected to a central alarm panel or smart home network, they can send alerts directly to your phone, notify emergency services, or activate sprinklers. In commercial settings, they play a vital role in protecting valuable equipment and stock. By adding heat detectors to your fire safety plan, you ensure more reliable coverage across all areas of your property—especially where traditional smoke alarms may be less effective.
