Fire protection services for homes and business in Leeds

Dalec is an established company and we have many years of experience in installing smoke alarms and fire detection systems in homes, business, schools and commercial buildings in Leeds and surrounding areas.

Several major fires have hit the news headlines over the past couple of months with the most recent being a devastating fire at a secondary school in the south of England. It’s worth bearing in mind that even the most basic of fire alarm systems and smoke detectors can prove to be an effective way to protect your home or business but to ensure that a system is reliable; it must be tested on a regular basis.

Different systems designed for a range of environments

A range of different smoke alarm systems are available and optical smoke detectors are specially designed to detect both invisible and visible smoke particles. Smoke detectors are designed to protect an area within a radius of 7.5 meters; however if a large area is to be protected, several detectors should be used to ensure that their radiuses overlap.

Kitchens or areas where sudden rises in temperature will naturally occur are bested protected by fixed temperature heat detectors. These highly effective sensors are specially designed to quickly detect any sudden rises in temperature, triggering an alarm to warn of the danger of fire.

Rate of rise detectors are designed to detect a fire as soon as the temperature in a room begins to rise suddenly. This type of detector is most suitable for use in environments which have a stable ambient temperature. Heat detector alarms cover an area of 5.3m but in large rooms several detectors may be required to ensure the radiuses overlap.
