Make fire safety a priority and Install Smoke and Heat Detectors

 A smoke and heat alarm system is vital for saving lives in the event of a fire.

It will give everyone in your home or building as much time as possible to evacuate safely before being overwhelmed by smoke or fire.

Whether you are a landlord or homeowner, ECEC can assess, install and maintain the correct smoke/fire detection system for your property or business premises.

Do we need a smoke or heat alarm?

u

Domestic

The new standard requires:

  • one smoke alarm installed in the room most frequently used for general daytime living purposes
  • one smoke alarm in every circulation space on each storey, such as hallways and landings
  • one heat alarm installed in every kitchen

All alarms should be ceiling mounted and interlinked.

u

Commercial properties

You’re responsible for fire safety in business or other non-domestic premises if you’re:

  • an employer
  • the owner
  • the landlord
  • an occupier
  • anyone else with control of the premises, for example a facilities manager, building manager, managing agent or risk assessor

Rental properties Landlords are legally responsible and must have smoke alarms hardwired and interlinked.

Fire alarms save 

lives.

The Scottish Fire Rescue Service attended 91,971 incidents, of which 57.8% were false alarms, 26.6% were fires and 15.6% were non-fire related.

There were 27 fatal fire casualties, down 18 from 45 in 2018, and 1,024 non-fatal fire casualties, down 14.5% since 2018.

Fatalities are falling due to better fire safety and alarm systems.

Very happy with ECEC. From initial contact (special mention to Lynda in office keeping me informed) to quote being provided and works carried out was all done in a very efficient way. Job ended up being more complicated but no change to initial quote and option to price up further work, with no obligation, was given. Also plenty of free advice was given by the guys carrying out the works.

I have used Edinburgh City Electrical Contractors on a number of occasions related to previous employment, and used their services for my own property recently. The response rate is always fantastic! The communication is quick, smooth, informative and makes the whole experience hassle free.
The quality of the service is great too. The maintenance providers are polite, timely and effective- never experienced any problems with using this company.
If you need any electrical work done then I would highly recommend using Edinburgh City Electrical Contractors.

Very prompt efficient service. I reduced by one star because I thought it was pretty expensive but as I needed someone urgently I was prepared to pay the extra. Overall impressed.

This was my first time using ECEC and they did a great job. I had some spotlights fitted in the living room, they were very quick to respond with a quote which was competitive with other electricians and very quick to come out and carry out the work. It looks great! I have now requested a quote for additional work now that I know their quality and responsiveness. Would definitely recommend.
