Fit smoke and carbon monoxide alarms: the basics
What the job involves
Alarms can be battery (sealed long-life), mains-wired and interlinked, or wireless-interlinked. An electrician will fit mains alarms on the lighting circuit with a battery backup, place them on each storey and in the right rooms, and test them. Carbon monoxide alarms go in rooms with a boiler, fire or stove.
What to ask a pro, and what to have ready
Say how many floors you have and whether you want interlinked alarms so they all sound together. Ask about alarm life (most need replacing after about ten years) and for a certificate for mains-wired alarms.
Safety and good to know
Landlords in England must provide a smoke alarm on each storey and a carbon monoxide alarm in any room with a fixed combustion appliance (excluding gas cookers). A chirping alarm usually just needs a new battery; a continuous alarm means get out and call 999 if there is a fire.

Where should smoke alarms go?
At least one on every storey, ideally in hallways and landings and in living rooms, away from kitchens and bathrooms where steam and cooking cause false alarms. Heat alarms suit kitchens.
