I am glad you agree :p

Spot on Retlaw, they had to inspect my property and give a full safety check when I was put on long term oxygen therapy, which not only gave me peace of mind but they also installed a ten year fire alarm free of charge

Re: Heat sensors/smoke alarms
 

i had the fire brigade put one in .. they came from accrington and put the one at the top of the stairs ... then either last year or the year before rawtenstall fire brigade knocked on my door and put another one up ... halfway down the stairs .. Anyway the first time the alarm went off was a couple of weeks ago .. from the steam from the shower. So now i know what it sounds like ...

Steam from the shower Jen, was Spugs home at the time;)

Re: Heat sensors/smoke alarms
 

Its a poor detector installation if steam from the shower sets it off.

Re: Heat sensors/smoke alarms
 

well...not only haven't they brought my alarms back but my electrics keep tripping, went to put the kettle on earlier and it blew, then i noticed that my fridge plug had blown too, turned everything off, unplugged the kettle and the fridge/freezer and turned the electric back on, it was ok till i went into the living room to put the telly on and that plug blew too, surely 3 fuses can't have all gone at the same time, Twin Valley are in for some crap off me tomorrow

Re: Heat sensors/smoke alarms
 

what do you mean by "plugs blowing"?

Did the fuse blow in the plug or the circuit breaker the consumer unit trip off?

Re: Heat sensors/smoke alarms
 

the electric box neil, i've just rung Twin Valley up because the washers gone now

Re: Heat sensors/smoke alarms
 

If the circuit breaker is tripping but the plug fuses are not it points to a cable fault. I am guessing at faulty circuit breaker or a loose terminal screw somewhere.

I would class it as an urgent fault. Will they be out tomorrow?

Re: Heat sensors/smoke alarms
 

nah he was at work!!! :D:D:D

i must be hot stuff .. :D:D:D

it had actually been running for a long time matty .... the whole house was steamed up .. and that was the first time it had gone off in 6 years ... so not too bad that ... just had to get up the stepladders .. and turn it off before the neighbours rang the fire brigade ... :D:D:D

Re: Heat sensors/smoke alarms
 

i made them come out last night Neil, i needed to wash Reece's uniform, he came and changed something over to the other side of the circuit board or something, someone's coming back today to sort it out

Re: Heat sensors/smoke alarms
 

I am guessing he put both upstairs and downstairs ring mains on the same circuit breaker.

The one that was tripping out - was it the same physical size as the others or bigger?

Re: Heat sensors/smoke alarms
 

do you really think i stood there watching the guy whilst he did it?

Re: Heat sensors/smoke alarms
 

Err well:confused: Yes:D
