Stick one side of the hook and loop coin to the ceiling, and the other half to your smoke alarm. Then simply stick it on! Installation takes less than five minutes and when you need to take your smoke alarm down to change the battery, simply peel it off. How many do you need? This depends on your individual circumstances (i.e. the size and layout of your home). But when in doubt, remember that fires can start anywhere. So the more fire alarms you have, the greater the level of protection. Where to put them? For the minimum level of protection, you need at least one smoke alarm on every level of your home. But a smoke alarm in every room (apart from the bathroom) will provide the greatest level of protection. Don't put one in the bathroom as steam can set it off by mistake. And you should put a heat alarm in the kitchen, with a fire alarm just outside, to avoid frequent false alarms. Testing your smoke alarm & changing the battery Smoke alarms require very little maintenance but according to the Fire Service, there are a couple of things you should do every year to make sure they're working properly: Test it and vacuum it to remove dust from the sensors Change the battery (unless it has a ten year battery) And after ten years, it's recommended that you buy a whole new alarm. So now you know how to fit a smoke alarm without drilling, go ahead and make sure you've got one installed in your home. And if you know an older person who may have difficulty installing a fire alarm themselves, pop round and help them fit one.
