Heat Detectors

Heat detectors warn of fire when the temperature in the area around the smoke detector reaches a certain level. Heat detectors do not notice smoke and should compliment, not replace, smoke detectors. Smoke detectors activate usually before the flames and heat are sufficient to operate heat detectors — and these extra seconds might be critical to your family’s safe escape.

Benefits

• Sense rapid rise in heat that may indicate rapidly spreading fires and flash fires, even before smoke is produced
• Especially useful with virtually smokeless natural gas and propane fires
