Since February 2022, all homes in Scotland must have interlinked smoke and heat alarms installed, meeting the Tolerable Standard set by the Scottish Government. This law applies to both homeowners and landlords.
Interlinked alarms communicate with each other. When one alarm detects smoke or heat, all connected alarms sound. This ensures you’ll hear the alarm no matter where the fire starts in your home.
Yes, if you have a carbon-fuelled appliance (like a gas boiler or wood-burning stove), a CO alarm is required. It does not need to be interlinked.
Homeowners are responsible for their own properties. For rental properties, landlords must ensure alarms are installed and maintained according to the regulations.
While enforcement is currently light-touch, failure to comply may impact insurance claims or home valuations. It’s recommended to become compliant as soon as possible.
