Different Smoke Detectors To Choose From
There are a few different kinds of smoke detectors available in the market. However, the two most reliable ones are the photoelectric alarms and ionisation alarms. Photoelectric alarms have the ability to detect fire through dust or visible particles that can be caused by smouldering fires. They are highly reliable and are less likely to cause false alarms. Ionisation alarms, on the other hand, can usually detect particles of smoke through fast flaming fires which is what makes it slightly less popular. As compared to the photoelectric alarm, these ones are slower; and slow smoke alarms can cause a lot of damage to the house and you.
