What is the difference between a smoke alarm and heat alarm?

Smoke alarms detect the presence of smoke in the air and are designed to provide an early warning in case of fire. They are typically installed in living areas, bedrooms, and hallways.
Heat alarms detect rapid increases in temperature and are ideal for use in kitchens, garages, and areas where smoke might not be a reliable indicator due to fumes or steam.

Where should I install FireAngel heat alarms?

Heat alarms, like the Thermistek Heat Sensing Alarm, are ideal for kitchens, garages, or unconverted lofts. These areas benefit from the reduced likelihood of false alarms caused by fumes or dust.
