Home Owner Fire Alarm System
Fire alarm systems provide you with security, especially in homes, as they can be responsible for keeping you and your family safe. Every person who is thinking of building a new house has to install a fire alarm detection system. All the high-risk areas that include the kitchen or living room should have a fire alarm system installed in them.
It’s a real benefit to include smoke detectors in your security alarms. It can monitor the fire alarm along with the intruder alarm. If you are asleep, then you won’t be able to smell smoke. Rather than smelling it, your sleep will go deeper, so it becomes necessary to have a fire alarm system.
Our fire systems offer top quality security within your premises and will reduce damage to your property, documents and occupants. After installation, we offer services and maintenance on the installed systems. Our 24/7 accredited alarm monitoring service keeps an eye on alarms and the status of systems, and takes action when it is needed.
Where can you install fire alarm systems?
At least on each floor, there should be one smoke alarm, whether it is your home or any other place. Fit the alarms in the sleeping areas and the kitchen for sure. Having a fire alarm on each floor is not that great. You should aim for one fire alarm in each room. It will decrease the chances of risk.
At Oxley Electrical & Security Ltd we offer a variety of fire detection and alarm systems. Our systems give out an early warning if fire or smoke is detected within your property to ensure that the occupants are alerted in time to react to the danger of fire. We can perform an onsite evaluation and recommend the most appropriate systems that are designed to facilitate your safety requirements.

Things that you need to know
People with hearing problems require a special fire alarm.
A person needs to have a fire alarm if he/she has a hearing issue. The person will not be able to hear the alarm as he/she is deaf. These people need a special fire alarm.
The fire alarms have vibrating pads or strobe lights. This will make the deaf person aware of the danger.
Heat detectors
Heat detectors are also known by the name heat alarms. These are used where smoke alarms or fire alarms are not able to work.
The places where we can use heat detectors are:
• Areas where people used to smoke.
• The kitchen or any area where fumes are.
• Rooms with open fire, e.g., fireplaces in homes.
Replacing batteries
This is the most important thing that you should do – regularly change the battery.
You know when to change batteries:
• As soon as the warning beep starts beeping.
• Once a year.
• Immediately when they stop working.
Keeping the alarm clean
Fire alarms should be kept clean and should be wiped regularly. If they are not cleaned properly, the fire alarm might get clogged with dirt and dust and stop working. This will put your life in danger, so make sure to keep them clean for your safety.
Fire ray beams
The smoke detectors with beams are used to provide smoke detection in broad areas, and places where it becomes inappropriate, impractical, or unaffordable to use traditional detectors. There we need to use these beam detectors to cover large areas at a minimal price.
