Heat Detectors

Heat detectors are fire safety devices that monitor temperature changes to identify potential fires, complementing smoke alarms in areas where smoke detectors might generate false alarms, such as kitchens, garages, and dusty environments.

While heat detectors aren't typically a legal requirement in UK residential properties (unlike smoke alarms which are mandatory in circulation areas and high-risk rooms), they are recommended as part of a comprehensive fire detection system, particularly in kitchens. Their installation requirements are covered under BS 5839-6 for domestic properties.

Types in the UK: Fixed Temperature detectors activate at a preset point (typically 58°C). Rate-of-Rise detectors trigger when sensing rapid temperature increases. Combined detectors use both methods for comprehensive protection.
