ESP Offers Reliable Fire Detection with Espire Heat Alarms
Posted by: electime 2nd February 2026

ESP is setting high standards in specialist fire detection with its Espire Heat Alarm range. Designed for kitchens, garages, and dusty environments, these provide essential protection where traditional smoke alarms may be prone to false triggering.
These alarms utilise a thermistor, which acts as a heat sensor, capable of detecting temperature fluctuations. The Espire Heat Alarm activates at 58°C and offers optimal performance in spaces where smoke or particles from cooking or work machinery might interfere with optical detection. A compact and contemporary design with a secure lock-in base ensures a streamlined installation and tamper protection.
Key features across the range include auto sensor testing, a 24-hour memory function, and RF-link compatibility for wireless alarm integration.
Installers can choose from three power options to suit varying project requirements:
- Powered by mains with a sealed tamper-proof 10-year lithium battery.
- Powered by mains with 9v replaceable battery.
- Powered by a sealed tamper-proof 10-year lithium battery.
The Espire Heat Alarms are to be installed in accordance with BS 5839-6. All models are tested to BS 5446-2 and certified by LPCB (mains powered options) and TUV (battery option) for safety assurance.
In keeping with the Scolmore Group’s sustainability goals, ESP has also committed to recyclable packaging and low energy designs throughout the Espire collection. More information can be found on the Espire website – www.espireuk.com – and the Scolmore Group app.
