Hi all
It is a requirement for my kitchen re-furb to add a heat detector. So I was looking at the linked mains powered types and spreading them round the pad generally.
So the question is:
Will a heat detector work in the garage or will it false alarm on the car engine heat? Don't want to put a smoke detector in there as I tend to solder and stuff.
TIA

I think the more common type of heat detector intended for kitchens is rising-rate (detects sudden changes) so should work correctly in a garage. I'd check that Part B of the Building Regs is OK with having the garage as part of the alarm circuit.

So you don't have a smoke detector in the kitchen because you make/burn toast there.
We have one in the caravan and put up with the occasional false alarm
And those 'false' alarms do just prove that the thing is working - how often do people check that these alarms are functioning ?

My indoor ones when I think about it, They have never actually run out of batteries yet :--)
Don't understand this bit; the OP said he was using a heat rise detector...
Once a week. A reminder pops up on the PC! And batteries are changed on my birthday...
