[QUOTE="Richard-the-Ninth, post: 553566, member: 23472"] I am lead to believe that in England you can have battery smoke alarms, at least one on each level. It does not have to be mains powered or interlinked. BUT interlinked is preferred, and so is mains powered but a device with a 10 year battery life is also acceptable. In Wales, you must have mains powered and interlinked smoke alarms. The interlink can be radio or hardwired. Scotland is different again as it applies to all homes, not just rentals. They say one smoke alarm in the most used room, heat detector in the kitchen, CO alarm near any "fuel burning appliance" Obviously if you want to "all aico with radio interlink" that is your choice. I guess it depends where you look. Some are opting to use red sheathed cable for hard-wired interlink [/QUOTE]
