To order smoke detectors in bulk, you can contact an electrical wholesaler, a specialist online retailer, or explore options on online marketplaces. When buying in bulk, consider factors such as the type of smoke detector (ionization or photoelectric), interconnection requirements, and power source (battery, mains, or combination).
Other factors to consider when ordering in bulk:
Smoke detector type: Choose between ionization and photoelectric detectors, depending on the type of fire you want to alarm (fast burning or smoldering).
Interconnection: Determine if you need interconnected alarms that trigger each other when smoke is detected.
Power source: Choose between battery power, mains power, or a combination of the two.
Carbon monoxide detection: Consider options that combine smoke and carbon monoxide detection for added safety.
Compliance: Make sure the detectors meet local fire safety codes and regulations.
Maintenance: Ordering in bulk ensures that all detectors are of the same model, which simplifies maintenance and replacement.
