ESP, a UK fire and security product specialist and part of the Scolmore Group, has introduced the Espire Alarm Finder, an online tool designed to help homeowners, landlords, and businesses select the most suitable smoke, heat, or carbon monoxide alarms for their properties.
Available on the Espire website, the tool offers tailored recommendations based on current fire safety regulations and individual property requirements.
Simplifying alarm selection for safety and compliance
Fire safety remains a key responsibility for property owners, yet many are unsure which types of alarms they need. ESP says the Espire Alarm Finder aims to simplify this process.
By answering a short series of guided questions, users receive personalised recommendations and practical advice on alarm placement to ensure regulatory compliance and effective coverage.
The tool begins by identifying the property’s location – England, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland, or Ireland – to ensure that users are shown only the standards and regulations relevant to their region.
It then gathers key information, such as:
• Property type and size, including garages or loft conversions
• Hazards to be monitored, such as smoke, heat, or carbon monoxide
• The required system grade
• Power connection preferences
• Optional features, including RF-Link interconnection and a Remote-Control Switch
The RF-Link feature allows alarms to communicate with one another, creating a connected safety system, while the Remote-Control Switch simplifies testing and locating alarms.
Both features align with the British Standard BS 5839-6:2019 and building regulations, which recommend including an alarm controller as part of a domestic fire alarm system.
Once all questions are completed, users can request tailored documentation and receive recommendations suited to their property’s layout and risk profile.
Supporting a complete range of fire and CO alarms
The Espire range from ESP includes smoke, heat, and carbon monoxide alarms for Grade D1, Grade D2, and Grade F1 installations.
The range offers several design features aimed at long-term reliability, including an auto-dimming power LED, stainless steel insect mesh barrier, and 24-hour memory function.
Additional features include RF-Link connectivity, a lock-in base, and a responsive thermistor, supporting safety and convenience across residential and commercial environments.
