Why Choose OR Electrics?
We understand that inviting a tradesperson into your property requires trust. Our team is dedicated to delivering high-quality workmanship, ensuring every aspect of our service meets rigorous standards.
There is nothing more important in our trade than life safety, and a properly installed fire detection system is your first line of defence. As a qualified Electrician in Leeds, I don't just stick a battery alarm up and hope for the best. I design and install mains-wired, interlinked systems (Grade D1 or D2) that are fully compliant with BS 5839-6. Whether you are a landlord managing a student HMO in Headingley needing a complex mixed system, or a homeowner in an Armley back-to-back wanting peace of mind without constant false alarms, I ensure your system works when it counts. The key is interlinking: if a fire starts in the kitchen, the alarm in your bedroom sounds immediately. I prioritize installing the right sensor in the right place—like heat detectors in kitchens to stop burnt toast from setting off the whole house—ensuring you stay safe without the headache of nuisance tripping.

Why do I need a heat alarm instead of a smoke alarm in the kitchen?
Standard optical smoke alarms are sensitive to cooking fumes, which leads to annoying false alarms (nuisance tripping) when you're just making toast. I install heat alarms in kitchens; these only react to rapid temperature rises, meaning they will alert you to a real fire but ignore your cooking.
What are the fire alarm requirements for landlords in Leeds?
Landlords must comply with the Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarm (Amendment) Regulations 2022. For HMOs (common in student areas like Hyde Park), the rules are even stricter, often requiring a Grade D1 interlinked system. I provide full installation and certification to ensure you meet all legal obligations and keep your tenants safe.
Will installing wired alarms make a mess of my walls?
In many older Leeds properties with solid brick walls, chasing in new wires can be messy. To respect your home, I often recommend mains-powered alarms that are 'radio-interlinked'. This means they still use your mains electricity for reliability, but they talk to each other wirelessly, saving us from having to chase cables up your stairs and hallway.
How long do these alarms last?
Even mains-wired alarms have a lifespan. The sensors inside typically degrade after 10 years. If your alarms have turned yellow or are over a decade old, they may not detect a fire effectively. I recommend replacing the heads every 10 years to maintain safety.
