Smokes in lofts

[onions1066]

Anyone else having problems with heat detectors on lofts over the hot period? We've fitted quite a few lately after property's have had pv panels installed. They have been going wild over the hot spell. Just wondered if anyone has had the same?

I fit a lot of smoke detectors in lofts for student accommodation and haven't had any reports of problems.

What make and model of detectors are you using?

 

[trev]

Smoke and heat detectors in non habitable/ non transit areas?
Why Aye.

Excuse me mr onions would you like to fit lots of smokes in lots of lofts for lots of money..............................sorry I can't as its not required to comply with an LD3 system. Trev can you guess which bit of that conversation didn't happen? :6:

And fitting aico heat detectors.

I agree with you to a point Onions mate, if the client insists on it and is prepared to pay then fair enough but in a situation like that I'd tell them they were wasting their money and explain why.
He who pays the piper calls the tune though.

Why call it 'Smokes in lofts', then ?

Heat detectors trigger when subjected to a sudden rise in temperature so perhaps they're faulty.

Well the lots of money bit wasn't quite right either. But it's to do with a faulty pv inverter in a loft which was picked up and suggested that smoke detection should be fitted near the inverter.
