Overview
Smoke alarms are designed to alert everyone in the building when smoke is detected, giving occupants time to evacuate to safety. They are an essential early warning device — don’t leave your family’s safety to chance. The CapitalVolt team offers smoke alarm installation, maintenance and testing services across Edinburgh, the Lothians and Fife.
We are a professional, reliable and caring company that you can rely on for all your smoke alarm requirements. Every installation comes with a manufacturer warranty on parts, is backed by £5m public liability and £10m employers liability cover, and is completed to a fixed-price guarantee — so you know exactly what you’ll pay before we start.
All our engineers have completed the Aico Expert Installer programme. Aico alarms are some of the safest and most reliable alarms in the industry, and we’re proud to install them as standard. Whether you need to comply with the latest Scottish fire safety regulations, upgrade older battery alarms or install a complete interlinked system from scratch, you’re in good hands with CapitalVolt.

Our process
Most installations are completed in a single visit of just a couple of hours — here’s what to expect.
Get in touch and let us know the size and layout of your home. We’ll confirm how many alarms you need and where they should be positioned to meet the current Scottish fire safety standard, then provide a fixed-price quote.
Our Aico-certified engineer fits the alarms in the correct locations — living rooms, hallways, landings, kitchens and any rooms with fuel-burning appliances. Alarms are interlinked wirelessly or via mains wiring so they all sound together.
Every alarm is individually tested and the interlinking is confirmed — when one triggers, they all sound. We walk you through the system, explain the different alarm types and make sure you know how to test them going forward.

“Craig and his team were excellent. We needed a partial rewire, and they worked incredibly efficient and tidy while being transparent about the work being done. When they left, it was like they were never there. I can’t recommend them enough and will use them for any future electrical work.”
“I recently had heaters installed at my flat by CapitalVolt Ltd , and I couldn’t be more pleased with the service. From the initial consultation to the final installation, the team was professional, prompt, and efficient. They made sure everything was set up to my satisfaction and took the time to explain how the heaters worked. Very happy with their service.”
“Excellent service. Craig and his team are fantastic at what they do – communication is top drawer, their work has been gold standard and they’ve kept well within estimated time-frames. I wouldn’t use anyone else.”
