  • Not sure what the use case for power line operated smoke detectors are in a residential setting TBH

    Well they're required by current building regs but apart from that you're golden 😂

    Also if mains ones are already installed I suspect that @NickCJ replacing them with battery alarms would not be kosher.

    I have Nest mains powered smoke alarms because I've never found a battery operated one I trust to be reliable - they're made down to a price point and I've had new ones from supposedly reputable brands not pick up smoke.

    Standard mains powered alarms are cheap though.

    Does it help significantly with house insurance?

    Also? Thank you all, just need to put that plaque out for @amey to collect on Sangley Road.
