Why is there a second alarm next to an existing alarm?
Having two fire alarms side-by-side could be for better coverage in larger spaces or eliminating detection dead zones. It might also enhance safety through interconnected alarms or having different types for better overall fire recognition. Local building codes may also play a role. Without inspecting the location and type of alarms, it's difficult to say for sure why a second one is installed.Please feel free to contact us for an onsite inspection.
