[QUOTE="Richard-the-Ninth, post: 554275, member: 23472"] In all newbuilds/refits in England/wales must have a smoke alarm on each level, also one in the main habitable area (usually the lounge) as well as a heat detector in the kitchen, a CO detector in any room that has a fuel burning appliance. It should also be considered what level of detection is being installed (shortened version) All D grade detectors must be mains powered. D1 Detector has lifetime battery D2 Detector has user replaceable battery All F grade detectors are battery powered F1 Detector has lifetime battery F2 Detector has user replaceable battery Little known fact: Nest detectors have an inbuilt feature that when the device is 10 [B]years old[/B], it will switch itself off, that is 10 years from date of [B]manufacture, [/B]not first powered. It will let you know at 3 months, one month and again at 7 days prior. Although smoke alarms should be replaced at 10 years, others will continue to work (although not at their best) past the 10 year life expectancy. [/QUOTE]
