Why don’t houses have fire alarms? Commercial Fire Alarms in Homes - Unnecessary or Effective?

[@alexandersalarms5380]

Houses with commercial fire alarm systems are becoming more popular especially in California and Arizona because they also have sprinkler systems. Seen it first hand I’ve also seen a fuck ton of bed and breakfasts / inns, with fire alarm systems, that are now just homes which is another good example.

[@bokon157]

Oh ok btw I lived in Arizona for 2 years!

Yes!!! I moved into a brand new home and there is a potter strobe horn outside and a horn inside hooked up to the sprinkler system.

[@alexandersalarms5380]

I've only seen one house installation, and it's near. I think it's a care home for an elderly individual, and it currently runs a conventional Vigilant 'Sigma 5' 5-zone system, installed by common local contractor 'Wormald'. Very cool things to come across.

I wouldn’t mind biting the bullet on speaker strobes and a voice evac fire alarm panel for my home. The extra complexity of wiring up speaker strobes is extra fun.

[@FireAlarmDude5967]

If you’re down for it sure

[@TRLTheRandomLab]

Commercial fire alarms are definitely unnecessary in most homes, beyond enthusiast use -- though I *do* think conventional home smoke alarms could be improved feature-wise and take inspiration from commercial systems, particularly a system-wide "silence" button, as well as identifying the originating detector. Perhaps a tiny display on the unit that says the reason why it's going off. It wouldn't even make them more expensive, and it wouldn't be too complicated to send data packets over the interconnect wire. Nest kinda tried this, but those are very expensive smoke alarms that are out of reach for most homeowners. I think having a few extra features like that could make the difference between people easily silencing the alarm and going to check the alleged location of smoke, and running around the house taking alarms out of the ceiling waiting for the beeping to stop.

[@fireguyif74]

also, families whos occupants may be deaf and/or blind may require an actual commercial system. there was one family where i believe they were all blind of some sort so the fire department installed an L-series system in their house.

[@FireAlarmDude5967]

They might request a system but unless specified it’s not required

[@alexandersalarms5380]

[@jackmorris1068]

I'm blind and just have standard smoke alarms. Would be cool though

[@FireAlarmsofNortheastKansas]

One interesting thing to note is that NFPA 72 and IBC don't specifically stipulate that smoke alarms must be used in the applications where they are typically seen. Even where only smoke alarms are required, a more complex fire alarm system may be installed provided it meets the detection and notification requirements.

[@FireAlarmDude5967]

Right, smoke alarms just meet the minimum requirements in a cheaper way

[@BlyssSarania]

Since they renovated about a year ago, my apartment has kind of a hybrid system and it's hella annoying. It's based on smoke detection, but when it triggers it blares commercial grade strobe alarms through the subsection of the complex(~5 apartments). As a person sensitive to loud, unexpected sounds this is AWFUL because it gets triggered by people cooking/smoking/whatever regularly. It also makes it largely ineffective because we've all learned to ignore it since it goes off every few weeks. I had to install an air purifier in my own apartment to stop setting it off every time I cooked. AFAIK there are no pull stations anywhere(at least that I've seen, maybe in the non residential parts?), but it does trigger notification in the main office and they have to silence it(which they tend to do very quickly because we've all complained like a dozen times.) I'm guessing the reason for all this is because this apartment complex is largely elderly/disabled housing but... it seems counterproductive because as I've said we've all just learned that loud alarm means one of our neighbors wasn't careful enough cooking again. We also have "Help" pull cords that trigger alarm in the main office too. Anyway thanks for a glimpse of a part of the world most of us never see! Edit: After writing this I did a little more research and it seems this apartment complex advertises itself as "Strictly ADA compliant" and maybe that has something to do with it. Also I don't know for certain that they are using ionization based detection it's just my guess since it's SO sensitive. We have separate "normal" smoke alarms as well that aren't interconnected, as well as CO alarm. In addition to the speaker strobes in the units, there is also one in front of each of our apartment doors on the outside!

[@DJQombustorz]

Idc if a commercial fire alarm is not required in my house, I’m still gonna install one. I now do an internship at a company who does those kind of installations and I will get certified to install them

[@FireAlarmDude5967]

Okay

[@Alwaysdoinit112]

My house currently has Kidde smoke alarms but my bedroom ceiling has a white Gentex remote horn because I wired a relay to make it compatible. Originally mounted my Spectralert Advance but we all did not like how it looked.

[@JimsElectrics-w4q]

The closest enough thing for me to have a fire alarm system in a house was a fire alarm system in an apartment building that I used to live in. And that fire alarm went off a little frequently; sometimes at night even. 😅

[@JimsElectrics-w4q]

(And it was 1 of those Simplex TrueAlert systems that had the “Attention!! Attention!! Attention!! An emergency has been reported,” voice prompt.)

[@dutchwolf2675]

Really cool video! And very informative as well. Unfortunately in Eastern Europe or a lot of Europe as a whole, smoke alarms aren’t required and if they are installed, most of the times they are tampered with or just not maintained. My house used to have smoke alarms which expired in 2014. They have been replaced of course but still. Also they are really finicky and annoying. I really prefer smoke detectors on security systems in homes and that’s something I want to plan to install in a house my parents own. Also many older apartment buildings (even from 2010+) don’t have systems which isn’t good. But I do see smoke detectors (both fire and security) in embassy homes and especially fire alarm systems in ambassador residences.

[@LovelyNonnie]

Idk why but I have a fear of smoke detectors and fire alarms. I find these videos quite interesting but the fear is what caused me to move from my modern luxury apartment and went to an apartment built in the 80’s. If commercial fire alarm systems were forced to be in all single family homes I’d try to save money for a tiny home. 😅

[@Lively_1185]

Maybe that's your cue to become a fire alarm enthusiast and wire up a display wall or mock system. By activating it every single day for yourself, the fear will gradually lessen. This is called exposure in psychology and in my view, it's beneficial. I also apologize that you had to move out due to the fear, but just be an enthusiast or just binge watch all of FireAlarmDude5967 videos!

[@Beep_beep-pl7rd]

I don’t think houses need fire alarm systems. I think they should rather have sprinkler systems due to the high amount of synthetic materials in homes nowadays

[@mattdude]

I will give credit to first alert who even on their cheapest smoke alarms, are designed to have the green led flash after the alarm stops on interconnected setups. That way you know exactly which alarm went off. Also on their more advanced alarms, interconnected or not, it will flash the red light continually after the alarm goes off. It forces the user to push the button to reset it to normal after the fact.

[@firepro-squad7778]

Great video and well done on the presentation! I have never seen a fire alarm system in a home, but have heard of some with them and never knew why. Thanks for the explanation!

[@CivilDefenseSoutherner]

I saw a commercialized emergency light directly installed in a residential vacation home in Southwest Florida, right above the main entrance. The place had three stories and had a hardwired and rather sensitive smoke alarm system.

[@sethhorst6158]

Definitely explains it, yet makes sense from a common sense stand point. I admire the skills fire alarm hobbyists and collectors have when setting up their system. I don't really have a collection, other than just a ceiling mount spectralert advance, a Simplex strobe plate from the 80's with a mechanical horn on it, and a Simplex coded pullstation identical to the ones I used to see at a school I went to in 3rd grade.

[@elevatorswithESH]

I’ve seen fire alarm systems installed in houses before but they were mainly fire alarm collectors systems that they installed themselves in their houses. I do not have a fire alarm system in my house because I hate strobes. Now I do have a bunch of smoke alarms located throughout my house that go off all the time.

[@matthewgregory8218]

Independent residential homes have smoke alarms as fire alarms. Also, now a days the alarms are interconnected. If one goes off, they all go off. 0:02

[@Armani_Toocull]

This Is becoming common in more modern homes. At One Point, Houses didnt typically have these systems unless they were being used for commercial purposes(i.e, Daycare or Group Home/Residential Units)

[@theogjerryy]

Practically, it all boils down to how much a homeowner would want to invest in a fire alarm system. New homes here in the state of California are required to have sprinkler systems installed since 2007. A homeowner can get a contractor to install an actual fire alarm system but it isn't practical, 5-10k on a brand new fire alarm system is a heavy budget to put into a home where $40 smoke detectors do the job. Another issue is National, State, and local fire code regulations which mandate annual inspections for these systems (in the state of California we do not mandate annual inspections for home fire sprinkler systems but advise the homeowners to maintain their systems). A good reference on fire code regulations is to go to ICC's website, state fire code website (i.e. CFC for California), or NFPA. Overall nice video covering the topic, this was one of my presentation topics to give with my FD as a reserve inspector.

[@knightwolf3511]

depending on the house it can be another chore, like the house my parents bought, it's not made for 1 person, it's really too much upkeep for a singe person. windows are rotted, basement flooded a few years back because they unplugged the sub pump and bunch of other issues we are fixing. besides the people who built the houses fully filled up 2 breaker boxes but cost plays a factor, not many people have 3-8k just laying down anymore

[@dylbeentheplotagonistandra2811]

My childhood home has 8 smoke detectors that are interconnected to each other. So, they’ll all sound if one is activated. The only detector that’s not connected to them is the one in the laundry room because we installed it later and it has 10 year permanently sealed battery. And my Greek Village house on my college campus that I currently live in has a full-on Simplex fire alarm system with TrueAlert horn strobes and TrueAlarm smoke and heat detectors. This house has a full on fire alarm system because it’s classified both as a commercial building and college dormitory

[@mmv4108]

Good Work! By my observations the larger houses in Northern Massachusetts commonly have i3s with sounders tied into a generic ADT security panel, sort of like the last example.

[@Protoaster]

We bought some farm land a while back. And for whatever reason. The barn. Which is massive. Has a full fire alarm system. Gentex commander 3s on chime.

They are common in the northeast U.S. But they are usually special-needs homes, if smaller, otherwise, I would think at least closer to at least around 2,500 square-feet house.

[@timjackson6311]

In a majority of new home construction, smoke detectors are paired with carbon monoxide detectors that are daisy chained together and each detector is backed up with individual 9 volt batteries

[@FireAlarmDude5967]

Right, this video is to analyze why those are used in place of fire alarm systems

[@DumbLinuxUser]

Informative video! A history of fire alarms would be interesting to watch. There are older "Fire Alarm" systems in some apartment buildings which they act like an interconnected home smoke alarm system. Most of these systems are now replaced by newer commercial systems. They primarily use old horn strobes with home smoke alarms. They also have pull stations (usually Faraday Chevrons) as well. With the lack of a central panel, finding a source of the alarm would be a nightmare. These systems would definitely not meet modern code as they function similarly to smoke alarms with a commercial setting, and they have more than 12 detectors. Additionally, they may also have relays to release magnets on fire doors. Those systems are called "120 vac closed contact systems" (might be wrong)

[@aerhardt]

Great and very informative video! Looking at the smoke alarm placement rules for your state that you showed, my house would already be at 12 smoke alarms, and it’s not even very big. I’ve seen some recent houses with WAY more than 12 smoke alarms in my area. Unfortunately, my area is still pretty lax about that stuff. Ionization and replaceable batteries are also still the norm in my area, although I’ve taken it upon myself to do better in my home. I don’t think commercial fire alarms will become common in homes, but hopefully something like in that last house you showed where it is like a security system. If I ever build a new home, I will probably get low voltage wiring (probably FA wire) to all of the detector spots instead of high voltage wiring. I would probably install something like that last house you showed. One other thing: I would like to see low frequency sounders get required in homes. If they have been proven to be so much more effective in things like hotels and apartments, why not in homes?

[@matthewgregory8218]

Also, I noice residential buildings do not have exit signage. Every other buildings like churches require exit signage and independent homes don t.

[@Alarmo05221]

Some smoke detectors will do a solid flash if they were recently activated, versus older kidde models flash the ac light fast to indicate a recent alarm.

[@MichanaAlerting]

I've also seen videos of news stories where families that are hard of hearing have alarm systems installed in their house to provide visual notification. Also I'm pretty sure the exclusive use of the System sensor i4 series is for residential use in smoke alarm systems like the one you featured.

[@klingoncowboy4]

As a fire alarm tech with some security experience I appreciate the benefits of a real fire alarm system but the problem is that if you have one then they not only cost more but where I live you need an Engineer involved and ofc you need to have annual inspections and I can tell you that most home owners will NOT do the maintenance required. For myself I would be willing to run a security system wired up as a fire alarm since that is a good middle ground, providing most of the benefits of a conventional alarm (or on some systems addressable) but without the legal requirements related to maintenance.

[@klingoncowboy4]

Obviously the exception is any property that otherwise requires a fire alarm as per code regardless. In such a case then you only have one real choice.

[@FireAlarmDude5967]

Right

[@klingoncowboy4]

Obviously be sure to confirm codes as they apply in your area, as well as any additional requirements by your insurance. I once was involved in installing monitoring for smoke alarms in a fairly fancy house. The house was built to code with interconnected smoke alarms throughout but the homeowner's insurance wanted some form of fire monitoring installed as well. We confirmed with their insurance company that using an approved relay on the interconnect line to input to a security panel would suffice. In this case we actually got them to approve use of a wireless door strike as an input so as to avoid having to run and conceal wire which would have been very difficult in this case.

[@wcfirebuff5428]

Awesome Video! I have 15 System Sensor i3 Sounders in my home which are all tied to a security system. When the alarm sounds, it does temporal 3 once, and then the security siren relay kicks in, which does 1 second with the alarm sounding, and then 1 second with the alarm silent.

Not true. Some homes do have red fire alarms. My house has a sprinkler fire alarm in my backyard above my side door.

No idea what you’re talking about being “not true”. There’s no central claim in this video

@@FireAlarmDude5967 look closely. If you go to the sides of the homes you will see a sprinkler fire alarm.

Imagine your sleeping and your woken up bye a alarm but the smoke alarm chirps I can handle and enough warning to get out

Thank you for making this so that way we won't get Jealous over the fire alarm system that NIC'S SYSTEMS & ELECTRIC has in his house as he put it in because he has all the professional skills of being an electrician and a fire alarm technician for Notifier By Honeywell (not a technician that would work on these systems in real buildings as he was a school district apprentice electrician under journeyman supervision) which allowed him to have better protection than residential smoke detectors that were causing problems for him and he's smart to use and maintain his system

[@FireAlarmDude5967]

That is completely irrelevant to why I made this video. This video is just to explain some technical reasons why smoke alarms are used instead of fire alarms
