Installation
Pre-notice

Dear Resident,

As of the beginning of 2024, the new Rescue Act transfers the responsibility for purchasing and maintaining smoke detectors in residential units to the building owner. The transition period continues until the end of 2025.

To ensure compliance with the law and the property’s fire safety, your housing company has arranged for the installation of new smoke detectors in accordance with standard SFS-EN 14604 in all apartments. The installations will be performed by firefighter installers who hold the qualifications required by rescue legislation.

Schedule and arrangements on the installation day.

  1. Installation time: Between 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m.
  2. Duration: Approximately 10 minutes per apartment.
  3. Access to apartments: If you are not at home, please leave the apartment door’s security lock open. KestoTurva staff will use a master key to enter the apartment.
  4. Pets: If there are animals in the apartment without their owner present during installation, dogs that may behave unpredictably when a stranger enters must, for safety reasons, be placed in a separate room or removed from the apartment during installation. Otherwise, pets may remain freely in the apartment. (Please note that the installation may cause loud noise.)
  5. Order of work: Installation will start from the top-floor apartments.
  6. Special requests regarding the installation must be communicated 2 working days in advance.

If necessary, please make sure there is enough space around the designated areas for installing the smoke detectors.

Handling of old smoke detectors

The installers will leave old smoke detectors in a visible place in the apartment, for example on a table.

They will also leave a notice containing instructions on how to test and acknowledge the functioning of the new smoke detector.

Thank you for your cooperation in carrying out this important safety measure!
