Professional AICO Safety System Installation
We're an AICO approved installer covering Somerset, Bristol, and surrounding areas. Our electricians are trained to design and install systems across all BS 5839-6 protection categories — LD3, LD2, and LD1 — so we can specify the right level of cover for any property type or risk profile.
The key advantage of AICO systems is interconnection. When any detector triggers — whether smoke, heat, or carbon monoxide — every unit in the building sounds at once. You get the earliest possible warning, wherever you are in the property. That extra time saves lives.
We install systems in homes, rental properties, HMOs, and commercial buildings. Landlords benefit from our compliance documentation, which confirms your property meets current fire safety regulations. All installations come with our 2-year guarantee plus AICO's own manufacturer warranty.

BS 5839-6 Protection Categories Explained
Under BS 5839-6, LD categories define how much of a property is covered by detection. LD1 is the most comprehensive; LD3 is the minimum. We assess your property and recommend the appropriate level.
Category LD1
Detection throughout all rooms and areas where a fire might start. Maximum protection — recommended for HMOs, properties with sleeping risks, and high-value assets.
Category LD2
LD3 coverage plus detection in rooms where fires are most likely to start — such as kitchens and living rooms. The most common recommendation for rental properties.
Category LD3
Smoke detection on escape routes — hallways, landings, and stairways. The minimum level. Adequate only for low-risk properties where fire risk in individual rooms has been assessed.
We assess your property, discuss your risk profile, and recommend the appropriate category. Most rental properties benefit from at least LD2. We design and install to BS 5839-6 throughout.

AICO Safety Systems FAQ - Somerset & Bristol
Common questions about AICO fire safety installations across Somerset and Bristol
What makes AICO detectors different?
AICO detectors are classified Grade D1 under BS 5839-6 — mains-powered with an integral battery backup. This makes them significantly more reliable than battery-only alarms. They also feature RadioLINK+ wireless interconnection: when one activates, all connected detectors sound simultaneously throughout the property.
Do landlords need AICO systems?
While not mandatory, AICO systems exceed minimum requirements and provide superior protection. Many landlords choose AICO for reliability, reduced false alarms, and the professional image it projects to tenants and insurance companies.
What is RadioLINK+ technology?
RadioLINK+ is AICO's wireless interconnection system that connects all detectors without additional wiring. When one detector activates, all connected units sound, providing whole-property alerting for maximum safety.
How long do AICO detectors last?
AICO detectors typically have a 10-year lifespan with sealed lithium battery backup. The mains-powered design with battery backup ensures continuous protection even during power outages.
Can AICO systems be retrofitted?
Yes, AICO systems can be installed in existing properties. The RadioLINK+ wireless technology means minimal disruption during installation, with no need to run interconnection cables between detectors.
What maintenance do AICO systems require?
AICO systems require minimal maintenance - monthly testing using the test button and annual professional inspection. We provide maintenance contracts and can handle all testing requirements for landlords.
