FAQs
What makes your cutting-edge smoke detectors different from standard models sold in Athens?
Our detectors combine dual-sensor technology (photoelectric + thermometric) with built-in IoT connectivity. This means they detect both slow-smouldering and fast-flaming fires in under 3 seconds, then instantly send alerts to your smartphone, local monitoring center, and—if you choose—Athens Fire Service through our cloud API. They also self-calibrate, report battery status, and perform silent diagnostics every 48 hours, reducing false alarms by up to 90 % compared with conventional units.
Are the detectors compliant with Greek and EU fire-safety regulations?
Yes. All models carry CE marking under EN 14604:2005/AC:2008 for smoke alarms and satisfy Greece’s ΚΥΑ 15/2014 residential requirements. For commercial premises, we provide versions certified to EN 54-7 and EN 54-29. Documentation is supplied in Greek and English, and our engineers handle the Δήλωση Συμμόρφωσης (Declaration of Conformity) filing if you need it for an ηλεκτρονική οικοδομική άδεια.
How is installation carried out in Athens homes and businesses?
After a free site survey, a licensed Ηλεκτρολόγος Εγκαταστάτης from our Athens team designs a detector layout that meets Hellenic Fire Code spacing rules (max 60 m² per device, 10 m from any wall for residential). Wireless units can be fitted in 15 minutes with no cabling. Hard-wired 230 V models use low-smoke, halogen-free cable routed through existing conduits. All installs conclude with a live smoke test, digital commissioning certificate, and app pairing tutorial.
What maintenance do the detectors require and can I do it myself?
Each detector has a 10-year sealed lithium cell and a replaceable CO₂ cartridge that fuels the monthly self-test puff. You receive push notifications when dust build-up exceeds 75 % of tolerance or the battery falls below 15 %. Basic upkeep involves vacuuming the vents twice a year and pressing the front-panel test button if prompted. Annual professional servicing is optional but recommended for business users to keep insurance valid; we offer a low-cost subscription for that.
Will the smart features work with my existing home automation system?
Probably yes. The detectors support Wi-Fi, Thread, and Zigbee 3.0, and they’re Matter-certified. They integrate natively with Google Home and Apple HomeKit, expose an MQTT bridge for open-source platforms like Home Assistant, and support IFTTT applets. For enterprises, we provide a RESTful API and Modbus-TCP gateway so they can tie into BMS or SCADA dashboards.
What is the typical cost and are there incentives in Greece to install advanced smoke detectors?
Residential wireless units start at €59 each, including the 10-year battery; wired smart detectors start at €74 plus installation (€20–€35 per point). Volume discounts apply above 20 units. Athens municipality currently offers up to 30 % reimbursement for primary residences as part of the “Εξοικονόμηση 2024” program when detectors are installed alongside other energy upgrades. Businesses may deduct the full expense as a fire-protection investment under Article 24 of the Greek Tax Code.
