Interlinked Smoke Alarms

[Hybrid21]

How is everyone getting on sourcing and fitting the new alarms?

I'm having problems sourcing a reputable supplier.

Any recommendations appreciated.

A friend in the business is going to install them for me, but he's having trouble getting his hands on the brand he prefers to install.  I think the brand is Aico.  I'd be happy to use another brand but he wants to stick with one brand for his installs.

There are lots of them on Amazon.

As far as I'm aware, these are currently only a legal requirement in Scotland (from February 2022).

Moved to General Discussions from General News Articles.

Be sure to buy the correct type for the fitting location

The general rule is quite easy

Kitchen and Garage: Heat Alarms
Landings: Ionization smoke alarms or combined optical smoke and heat alarms
Bedrooms, living rooms and hallway: Optical smoke alarms or combined optical smoke and heat alarms.

Lots on Amazon Stephen, but lots with bad reviews. I'd rather buy from a good recommendation if possible.
