How Often Should Fire Alarms Be Tested?

Discover how often fire alarms should be tested for security. Thus regular Fire Alarm Testing and inspection is essential to keep their effectiveness. fire alarm systems should be fully tested at least annually, with more frequent testing (monthly or quarterly) often required by local fire codes to maintain their effectiveness and life safety for building occupants.

Have you shown him any of the old Mario cartoons (Super Mario Bros. Super Show, etc), or do cartoon/shows fill a similar position to Movies in regards to 'sitting and watching is hard'?

Sitting and watching is generally pretty hard, even with other Mario media. The meat and potatoes of what he watches are roomba videos (Wyatt's world of roombas is his most watched channel), vacuum tech reviews, and most recently .... fire alarm tests. :))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

He'll have that on in the background during the day while he plays, and pause to watch when he recognizes his favorite videos, or favorite moments within certain videos.

For his wind-down routine, the youtube rotation switches to silent playthroughs of Luigi's Mansion (3 and HD so far), or he asks for one of the 2 movies I mentioned in the other ask. The last 30 minutes before bed, it goes to "the night time show" which is usually just ambient soundscapes or lo-fi study tunes.

He likes a ton of audio stimuli, obviously, which makes the living room a very unquiet place at essentially all hours of the day when we stay at home. My PS5 is our Eternal Noise Machine but I've got a very good set of noise cancelling headphones. We tried the obvious solution, which was getting him his own headset, but I don't want the sound level to hurt his hearing and he hates having things on his head anyway.

But he is definitely not escaping the Super Mario Bros Super Show or the 90's movie. He's in a place right now where he really likes his own stuff, so we're trying to balance introducing new things with letting him openly enjoy what he likes.

the perfect way to cook pasta is to fill a pot with water, salt it a little, wait until the water boils, add the pasta, and then forget it on the stove while you leave the house for 7 to 8 hours

You know. You'd think. That talking to A person wearing a trans rights shirt and trying to figure out why the computer system is not bringing up the order correctly for their lab work to monitor their testosterone shots might. Just might. Be a clue you should probably not just default to using she/her and maybe either look at where pronouns are indicated on the chart or ask the person. Because it's likely they're trans.

Is Your HMO Fire Safe? 5 Signs Your Property Needs a Fire Alarm Upgrade Now

Owning or managing a House in Multiple Occupation (HMO) comes with a unique set of responsibilities, not least of which is fire safety. For landlords across Eastbourne and East Sussex, ensuring your fire alarm system is not only present but effective, compliant, and reliable is a legal and moral duty.

At M and M Electrical Services Ltd, we’ve worked with countless HMO property owners who thought their systems were fine — until they weren’t. In this post, we’ll walk you through five clear signs that your fire alarm system might need an upgrade, using insights from our real-world experience and the services we proudly offer.

As a NICEIC-approved contractor based in Eastbourne, we provide tailored fire alarm design, installation, maintenance, and servicing to ensure HMOs and other residential properties meet current safety standards and protect tenants effectively.

Real-World Wake-Up Call: When Assumptions Nearly Cost Lives

Recently, we were contacted by the landlord of a medium-sized HMO just outside Eastbourne. The building had a basic mains-powered fire alarm system installed several years ago, but no one had checked it in ages. After a tenant reported a strange smell in the communal hallway, the landlord realised the fire alarm hadn’t triggered at all.

We conducted a full inspection and found multiple faults: expired detectors, a disconnected sounder, and no working battery backup. The system had never been serviced.

This is why understanding the signs of a system in need of upgrading is crucial — especially in HMOs where tenant safety is paramount.

1. Your Fire Alarm Hasn’t Been Professionally Serviced in Over 6 Months

If you can’t remember the last time your system was checked by a professional, it’s overdue.

Fire alarm servicing is essential to ensure all components are functioning, including:

Smoke and heat detectors

Control panels

Audible sounders

Battery backups

At M and M Electrical Services Ltd, we provide expert fire alarm servicing throughout Eastbourne. We work with landlords, letting agents, and property managers to maintain all sizes and types of fire alarm systems, ensuring compliance and tenant safety.

🛠 Tip: Keep a written log of all testing and servicing. We can help you maintain these records.

2. You’re Experiencing Frequent False Alarms

False alarms aren’t just inconvenient — they’re dangerous. Tenants may begin to ignore them, which is a major risk in a real emergency.

These are often caused by:

Faulty or incorrectly positioned detectors

Outdated systems

Lack of regular maintenance

Cheap DIY installations

At M and M Electrical Services, our fully qualified team can identify the cause of frequent false alarms and offer targeted solutions. Whether your system needs a reconfiguration, repair, or upgrade, we’re here to help.

3. Your System Doesn’t Meet Current Regulations

HMOs are subject to strict fire safety laws, and outdated systems may no longer be compliant.

We install and upgrade systems to meet:

BS 5839–1 & BS 5839–6 standards

LACORS Fire Safety Guidance

The Disability Discrimination Act (2004), where required

We’re also qualified to British Fire Protection Systems Association standards and can recommend a system that fits your property, whether that’s a Grade D domestic system or a full Grade A panel-controlled installation.

🔗 Explore our installation services: https://electriciansineastbourne.co.uk/fire-alarm-installation-eastbourne/

🧠 Did you know? A Grade A system is typically required for HMOs with three or more floors.

4. You’ve Renovated, Reconfigured, or Expanded the Property

Changes to the layout of your HMO can have a direct impact on the effectiveness of your fire alarm system. Even minor modifications — like moving a kitchen or adding a partition — can block smoke pathways or render detectors ineffective.

Before or after any renovation, it’s vital to consult a qualified fire alarm engineer to assess whether your current system still provides adequate coverage.

At M and M Electrical Services, our engineers are fully trained to design and install systems tailored to the layout and fire risk profile of your HMO.

5. You’re Relying on a System Installed More Than 10 Years Ago

Technology advances quickly, and fire safety is no exception. A system installed over a decade ago may lack essential features such as:

Interlinked smoke detectors

Zonal fire detection

Battery backup

Remote monitoring options

If your system is ageing, it may no longer offer reliable protection — and parts could be difficult or expensive to replace. Our team can assess your existing setup and recommend a cost-effective upgrade that meets today’s safety expectations.

💡 Tip: Investing in a new system now can save you from costly emergency repairs later.

I think one of my all time favourite lines from a tv show is from the office specifically the episode where dwight starts the office fire and Andy shouts "the fire is shooting at us!". there's not a day that goes by where I don't think of it

[carnage-cathedral]

so. turn of events. they started testing the fire alarms. so, anticipating that they'd blare the alarm for 15 minutes, we took the panic meds and planned to go outside. but then within 30 seconds, the alarm test was over. so basically we took the meds for no reason and because there is no panic attack for them to combat I'm basically just abusing benzos. I'm not complaining though

oh thank fuck its the last fire alarm testing day.
