Rate of rise heat detectors will not go off with smoke, they look at how quickly the room heats up. In a fire the room will heat up very quickly.

its stupid whatever sort it is

Re: Heat sensors/smoke alarms
 

Its obviously faulty and not acceptable, DON'T take the battery out or disconnect it or they will blame you for the fault, put up with it and ring them first thing to have it replaced, twin valley are usually very good and should replace it asap. It is very unusual for a heat detector to register false alarms, are you sure its not the smoke detector in the hallway which is over sensitive? either way get them out to it.

if it starts tonight i'm switching the electric off, i'm not putting up with that din all bloody night

Re: Heat sensors/smoke alarms
 

ITs very likely faulty, get in touch.

They should replace it immediately, too many false alarms give rise to ignoring it & thats when real problems can happen.

Re: Heat sensors/smoke alarms
 

its been going off every 10 minutes for the last 4 hours and its doing my head in, i can't do anything until tomorrow now......hope its not like this all night

Re: Heat sensors/smoke alarms
 

Why not get the fire brigade to check out your home for fire safety and then if they find a faulty smoke alarm...they may replace it for you free of charge...worth a try and at least you will rest easy knowing that you will be a lot safer

Re: Heat sensors/smoke alarms
 

just called the repair line, they are coming out in the next 2 hours

i don't think the fire brigade could do anything Laurie, its an electrical fault

That is what post 10 said at 11.28 this morning :p

Re: Heat sensors/smoke alarms
 

well he's just been and taken all 3 of them down and said he'd be back in the next couple of days with some new ones, he was here for 2 minutes

Re: Heat sensors/smoke alarms
 

But why don't you still get a fire safety check...you know it makes sense

Re: Heat sensors/smoke alarms
 

I used to do some of the 'one a day' heating installations in blackburn, and from the minute we used blowtorches, all the alarms in the house would be going off, and stayed that way most of the day, because they are mains fed, we couldnt do anything about it, they are very annoying.

Re: Heat sensors/smoke alarms
 

they are Derek, i just hope i don't need the alarms for the next couple of days

Re: Heat sensors/smoke alarms
 

Haha, I aint gonna ask why!
