Frequently Asked Questions?
Are smoke alarms legally required in rental properties?
Yes. Landlords are generally required to install smoke alarms on each storey of rental accommodation and carbon monoxide alarms where required by current regulations.
What is the difference between a smoke alarm and a heat alarm?
Smoke alarms detect smoke particles, while heat alarms detect rapid increases in temperature. Heat alarms are typically installed in kitchens.
Can Aico alarms be interconnected?
Yes. Aico alarms can be interconnected using hard-wired or wireless RF technology, allowing all alarms to sound simultaneously.
How long do Aico alarms last?
Most Aico alarms have a recommended replacement period of around 10 years depending on the model.
How much does Aico alarm installation cost?
The cost depends on the number of alarms required, whether the alarms are wired or wireless, and the size of the property. We provide free quotations and fixed-price installations for most alarm systems.

The exact requirements depend on factors such as:
- Property size
- Number of occupants
- Number of storeys
- Local authority requirements
- Fire risk assessment recommendations
BuildSpark can assess your HMO and recommend a suitable Aico alarm system to help meet current fire safety requirements.
Can you issue alarm certificates after installation?

Following installation, BuildSpark can provide the appropriate certification for the alarm system installed.
Where applicable, we can issue certificates confirming the design, installation and commissioning of smoke, heat and carbon monoxide alarm systems in accordance with current recommendations and standards.

They provide the same benefit of fully interconnected alarms while avoiding extensive rewiring and decoration work.
BuildSpark can assess your property and advise whether a wired or wireless RadioLINK+ alarm system would be the most suitable option.

These FAQs are actually stronger than generic questions because they target specific keywords such as "Aico 3000 Series", "RadioLINK+", "wireless smoke alarms", "Ei3016", and "Ei3024", which can bring highly targeted visitors looking specifically for Aico installations.
Do you install alarms in HMOs?
Yes. We install alarm systems for HMOs, rental properties, homeowners and commercial premises throughout London and Surrey.
Do I need an Aico alarm system in my rental property?
Yes. Landlords must ensure suitable smoke alarms are installed on every storey of a rental property and carbon monoxide alarms where required. Aico alarm systems are one of the most trusted solutions for meeting landlord safety obligations.
What Aico alarms do you install?
We install a wide range of Aico products, including smoke alarms, heat alarms, carbon monoxide alarms, multi-sensor alarms and interlinked alarm systems. We can recommend the most suitable system for your property.
Can you replace old smoke alarms with Aico alarms?
Yes. We regularly replace outdated or faulty smoke alarms with modern Aico alarms, helping to improve reliability, fire detection and compliance with current recommendations.
Do Aico alarms require wiring?
Aico offers both mains-powered and wireless interlinked alarm systems. We can install wired or RF-linked alarms depending on the property's layout and requirements.
Do you provide alarm certificates after installation?
Yes. Where required, we can provide alarm installation certificates and confirmation of testing and commissioning for landlords, homeowners, HMOs and businesses.
What is a Grade D1 alarm system?
A Grade D1 alarm system consists of mains-powered alarms with a tamper-proof rechargeable backup battery.
Grade D1 systems are commonly used in homes, rental properties and HMOs because they continue to operate during a power failure and require minimal maintenance.
BuildSpark installs Aico Grade D1 alarm systems including smoke alarms, heat alarms and carbon monoxide alarms with interlinking where required.
What is the difference between LD1, LD2 and LD3 alarm systems?
LD1, LD2 and LD3 refer to the level of fire detection coverage provided within a property under BS 5839-6.
LD1 provides the highest level of protection, with smoke or heat alarms installed in all circulation areas, escape routes and rooms where a fire could start.
LD2 provides detection in escape routes and high-risk rooms such as kitchens, boiler rooms and utility rooms.
LD3 provides detection only in escape routes, such as hallways and landings, to warn occupants so they can escape safely.
BuildSpark can advise on the most suitable category based on your property type, occupancy and fire safety requirements.
Can you install Aico Ei450 alarm control switches?
Yes.
BuildSpark installs Aico Ei450 Alarm Control Switches as part of new and existing Aico alarm systems.
The Ei450 control switch allows occupants to:
- Test all interconnected alarms
- Locate the alarm that has activated
- Silence nuisance alarms
- Easily manage the alarm system from a convenient location
These switches are particularly useful in larger properties, HMOs and rental accommodation.
What is Aico RadioLINK+ Wireless Interconnection?
Aico RadioLINK+ technology allows compatible alarms to communicate wirelessly without the need for additional interlink cables.
When one alarm detects smoke, heat or carbon monoxide, all connected alarms throughout the property will sound simultaneously.
Benefits of RadioLINK+ include:
- No additional interlink wiring required
- Faster installation
- Ideal for existing properties
- Suitable for HMOs and rental properties
- Easy expansion of alarm systems
- Reduced disruption during installation
RadioLINK+ is particularly useful where installing new cables would be difficult or expensive.
Can Existing Aico Alarms Be Upgraded to RadioLINK+?
In many cases, yes.
Many Aico alarms can be upgraded using RadioLINK+ modules, allowing existing alarms to communicate wirelessly with one another.
This can be a cost-effective way of improving fire protection without replacing the entire alarm system.
BuildSpark can inspect your existing alarms and advise on the most suitable upgrade options.
