It is important to carry out regular cleaning and alarm maintenance, as this will minimise the risk of nuisance beeps and false alarms and ensure your alarm is able to provide the life-saving protection it is supposed to.
All Aico alarms are stamped with their model, age and replace by date to make it as easy for Contractors or Homeowners to maintain and replace our alarms. Look for the ‘Replace By’ label, which can be found on the side of most alarms to find the alarm’s age. If you would like more information on alarm identification, please visit our support page.
Regular alarm testing is a vital part of ensuring continued fire and carbon monoxide detection. Alarms should be tested monthly.
Press the test button for 10 seconds. The alarm will sound loudly, so that you know the alarm is functioning. Also check all other interconnected alarms on the system sound.
If you are experiencing any issues with your alarms, in the first instance we would recommend cleaning your alarm and replacing the batteries (if applicable). If you have any further questions please do not hesitate to contact our Technical Team at technical@aico.co.uk.
