Photoelectric

Interconnected

InHome Safety Solutions offer a no obligation smoke alarm inspection and report as part ofour Community Awareness program.

Wireless

Interconnection of your smoke alarms meansthat when activated your alarms have the abilityto “talk” to each other.Simply put when one alarm is activated all othersmoke alams are activated.This is by far the most effective method for youto know of a fire hazard in your home.In a fire, seconds count and seconds save lives.

Photoelectric smoke alarms are more responsive than the older ionisation type smoke alarms indetecting a smokey or smouldering fire, which isthe most common type of household fire.The photoelectric smoke alarm “sees” the smoke rather than “smells” the smoke.

Interconnecting your smoke alarms:Hard Wired:- which means additional electricalwork and the cost of an electrician. OR

Wireless:- which uses a radio frequenecy signal unique to your home, no extra wiring, no electricianand more cost effective.

FACT: 3/4 of all residential fire deaths in Queensland happen in homes without smokealarms.FACT: Nearly 1/2 of all residential fires inQueensland occur between 12am & 8am, whenpeople are sleeping.
