crispy_wafer Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 Slight hijack, I've bought Various Aico mains wired kit for the kitchen (heat), upper hallway, down hallway (smoke) and lounge(multi). Think I would like something in my utility room with plant room attached, tumble drier/washing machine, solar gadgetry... Any recommendations please?

ProDave Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 Yes I fitted the same Aico hard wired smoke alarm in my utility room. It was not required to have one there by building regs but I wanted early warning of anything smouldering in a tumble dryer. And we NEVER use the TD when we are not in the house.

Kelvin Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 We fitted the same one in the utility room although we don’t have a tumble dryer on principle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only underwear, socks and towels go in the TD, and only then for a short time, not enough to dry them thoroughly. Just trying them any other way they does not meet the softness test. But even a short spell in the TD then letting them finish drying naturally and they are deemed soft enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was well impressed how dry stuff becomes just put on an airer with mvhr - but yes perhaps I haven’t done the softness test … Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sean1933 Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 I'm speaking to sparky tomorrow re locations as it somewhat slipped my mind. I did just plan AICO's interlinked with a central test/reset button (high ceilings). But im now worrying about the Large Dwellinghouse criteria (380sqm house, ground is 230sqm) that makes me think I need a special ie expensive grade A system. Anyone else get caught out by this?!?
