At Anova, we’re proud to announce that we are now certified Aico Expert Installers, joining a trusted network of professionals trained to the highest standards in domestic fire and carbon monoxide alarm systems.
This accreditation isn’t just a badge. It reflects our continued commitment to delivering life safety solutions that are compliant, smartly designed, and built to last.
Why It Matters
From the Homes (Fitness for Human Habitation) Act to Awaab’s Law and the Grenfell Inquiry outcomes, UK housing legislation has become clearer: every tenant deserves a safe, monitored home — and landlords and housing providers must be proactive in meeting those expectations.
Whether you’re managing a small rental portfolio, a housing association, or overseeing compliance across multiple sites, fire safety is non-negotiable.
Becoming Aico accredited means we’re now expertly trained in:
Using Aico’s app-based tools for certification, data logging, and real time diagnostics
System design in accordance with BS 5839-6
Alarm grading and category selection
Correct placement of fire and CO detectors, including lofts, kitchens, and sleeping areas
Installing and commissioning Aico’s full product range, including the 3000 Series multi-sensor units
What Does UK Law Currently Say?
The UK’s regulatory landscape for domestic fire safety is evolving. Here’s a quick breakdown:
- England (Current Guidance): Minimum of one alarm per floor – but this is now considered the bare minimum. This is estimated to change very soon to fall in line with the laws laid out in Scotland.
- Scotland: Since 2022, every home (rented or owned) must have interlinked smoke alarms in living rooms, kitchens, hallways, and landings — plus CO detectors where applicable.
- Social Housing Providers: The pressure is mounting under Awaab’s Law, demanding faster responses and proactive risk detection. Fire safety is part of this wider duty of care.
Our advice? Don’t wait for the regulations to catch up design for best practice now.

Common Mistakes We Help Avoid
Fire safety systems are only as good as the install. We regularly step in to correct:
- Underspecified systems (e.g. “one alarm per floor” thinking)
- Incompatible wiring or product mixing (e.g. illegal radio modules)
- Alarms installed too close to walls, beams, or bathrooms
- Poor CO alarm placement in relation to flues and appliances
We design with compliance, reliability, and tenant trust in mind every time.
