Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why do housing providers choose 10-year sealed battery alarms?
A: Sealed long-life batteries end battery theft, resident removal and yearly maintenance visits - the main cost drivers in tenanted housing estates.
Q: What happens when the alarm reaches 10 years?
A: An audible end-of-life warning sounds so the unit can be replaced. The sealed battery is not user-replaceable by design.
Q: Are these alarms EN 14604 certified?
A: Yes, on the applicable models. We provide the model number, certificate number, certificate holder and certification body for verification before ordering.
Q: Can you customize packaging for housing association tenders?
A: Yes. Project branding, bilingual manuals and tender documentation packages are standard OEM services.
Q: What is the lead time for volume orders?
A: Standard models ship within 2-3 weeks; private-label orders add 1-2 weeks for packaging and label production.
