Cheshire West & Chester Council is now fitting Aico’s Ei3030 multi-sensor alarms across its housing stock during all upgrade programmes and where replacements are needed, with the alarm fittings carried out by teams from Liberty Group.
With three sensors (optical, heat & carbon monoxide) in one unit to ensure accurate fire and carbon monoxide detection, the Ei3030 eliminates the need for multiple alarms, simplifying installation and maintenance. The council’s new multi-sensor alarms can also be used in future with Aico’s HomeLink technology to monitor problems such as damp and mould, air quality and compliance.
James Fishwick, electrical contracts manager, Liberty Group, said, “This is such a good alarm and it ticks so many boxes in one go. We were keen to start fitting them as soon as our client gave us the new specification. We’re now starting to see them on others around the country as well – it’s a no-brainer.”
Carl Traynor, relationship manager for Merseyside, Aico, said, “As a former electrician and compliance manager, I was used to fitting multiple alarms to cover both smoke and carbon monoxide. I was always particularly cautious about the migration factor, where carbon monoxide can be produced in one room or even an adjacent property but then have devastating consequences in another. Aico’s combined unit is ideal to mitigate those risks.”
