Heat sensors/smoke alarms
about a month ago Twin Valley Homes Contractors came out and totally re-wired the house, they put several new sockets in each room, light switches and fittings and they decided it would be fun to put new heat sensors in, i totally agree that we needed them in, one was put at the top of the stairs, one at the bottom to replace the old ones AND one in the KITCHEN!!!!
why oh why oh why do they put them in the kitchen? is it to wind Flashy up? do they think they have a sense of humour? everytime i go in the kitchen to make a brew(the kettle is a fair distance from the alarm), the alarms go off, everytime i put the dryer on, the alarms go off, i opened the front door to let someone in the other day ..... and ...the alarms went off, there is nothing at all on in the kitchen at the moment and the alarm has gone off 3 times this morning, i've had the Dyson on them to see if there is any dust on them, there isn't, they still go off i think TVH are having a laugh ok rant over

Re: Heat sensors/smoke alarms
disconnect it if it's on the mains or take the battery out if not.

Re: Heat sensors/smoke alarms
THey put the wrong type in the kitchen, plain & simple.
Call them up and get them to come & change it. Claim its gone faulty if they wont, it should not go off like that. It should also not be situated close to the cooker. |

Re: Heat sensors/smoke alarms
It sounds faulty Shaz, phone them up and ask them to sort it out.
If they start to mess you around just remind them it is there to save your life in the event of a fire

Re: Heat sensors/smoke alarms
Have they put a smoke detector there, one with holes in (looking like the reat) or a heat detector, usually with an aluminium case showing?
A smoke detector is useless in the kitchen for this very reason, only heat detectors shold be fitted & high temperature ones at that. |

Re: Heat sensors/smoke alarms
so much as put the grill on in my house or make a slice of toast and the smoke alarm in teh hallway goes off.
came home drunk once and decided to make toast and it ended up been a death match between lump hammer vs smoke alarm and teh lump hammer won and ever since then i havnt been bothered at all  the rest of the house is smoke alarmed but to put one right next to the kitchen door so sensitive to smoke was just silly. i since learned i could have simply taken the 9v battery out but if im honest the lump hammer was more fun althouh i do regret the hole in teh ceilng where my first drunken swing missed its target

 my brothers just been in and threatened to hit it with a golf club if it doesn't shut up he lives further down the same street and had his done a few months ago, he was telling me that the other night he was drunk and put something in the oven to cook, he fell asleep, when he woke up the kitchen was full of smoke and the detectors hadn't even gone off, its a good job his gas had gone or he'd not be here now, they've really messed up with these electrics
