HEat alarms
By detecting rapid temperature increases, heat alarms provide an early warning when things start to heat up (excluding British heatwaves). They don't wait for smoke to appear; instead, they respond to subtle, yet crucial, temperature shifts that signal a potential fire hazard. The following selection of alarms is perfect for areas where smoke is either not present or too hard to detect, such as kitchens, garages, or workshops.
