Hispec Smoke/Heat Detectors

have you looked at Aico?

All I can add at the moment is I only fit Aico.

And I go on holiday tomorrow for a week (minus the two days I will be at work).

The HiSpec meets the regs so is fine to use.

A bit spendy from what I can see (£60-70ea for RF standalones) so will take a punt on HiSpec.

Hope you have a good time.

UK firm (far east mfr) and good website data which helps for me so think I will take the punt. Its a £250 vs £650 disparity so worth taking an informed chance I think.

Yes, works out a bit spendy for an 8 sensor plus controller system, around £650 parts only.

Do you need all the detectors to be wireless? AIUI you can have eg two 'sections' of AICO wired detectors, with one wireless on each 'section', and the interlink will wirelessly hop across the two sections.

So if you can do wired in the east wing and wired in the west wing, but need wireless to get across the great hall :-) that might work.

Worth a look at

I live quite far away so it would be nice to just turn up and fit so full RF is favoured. Upstairs is easy but it would still involve a lot of board lifting to do the lower floor areas.

Not a 'pile' just a rambling conversion of smaller buildings combined with some inflexibility in the regs that mean a stairwell with a tiny bit of ceiling on the ground floor will need 2 detectors, 1 for the tiny "ground floor circulating space" and 1 for the equally tiny upstairs landing. Unless I commission a report from a pro to say it's not required.

They're selling Firehawk which look ok for smaller systems but I can't find a controller in their range that makes location, testing and silencing easier.

Avail cheaper elsewhere eg. £33quid inc vat here:

Don't know if you are aware but CO detectors are not required to be interlinked so a cheaper stand-alone one can be used. Kind of makes sense as the risks associated with CO are likely to be local to the appliance and not requiring an immediate evacuation of the whole property.
