   Neil Perdell, Technical Services Manager, Aico Ltd, the UK distributor of the Ei mains powered residential smoke and heat alarms, says the move is backed up by the Fire Statistics United Kingdom which shows a glaring, ongoing problem with the protection offered by battery powered smoke alarms compared with mains powered units.
   
   He said: "This is not necessarily because of the build or design quality of battery powered units; many are very good, although some are distinctly lacking too.
   ...
   Perdell added that landlords contemplating a new installation should seriously consider installing mains-powered protection instead if they were planning to use battery units. Not only would this be planning for the future but it also ensures greatly increased safety for the tenant and better protection for the property itself, since the earlier an alarm is heard, the less damage tends to occur.
   
   Perdell concluded: Even if alarms are due for replacement, it makes very good sense to use the opportunity now to once and for all upgrade to a mains-powered system.
