Frequently Asked Questions
How many smoke alarms does my home need?
- As a guide, you should have smoke alarms installed on every level of your home and near the bedrooms. Many homes require alarms in hallways leading to bedrooms and in commonly used areas. We will assess your layout and recommend the right number and locations for your home.
Do my smoke alarms need to be interconnected?
- Interconnected alarms are strongly recommended and are required in many newer homes and renovations. When alarms are interconnected, if one detects smoke they all sound, which improves warning time and makes it easier for everyone in the home to hear the alarm.
How often should smoke alarms be replaced?
-
Most smoke alarms need to be replaced every ten years from the date of manufacture. Even if they still beep when tested, the sensor can become less effective over time. If your alarms are older or you are not sure of their age, it is a good time to upgrade.
What type of smoke alarm is best?
- Photoelectric alarms are recommended in most homes because they respond well to smouldering fires and provide reliable detection with fewer false alarms compared to many older ionisation alarms. We supply quality photoelectric units that meet Australian standards.
What happens during a smoke alarm installation?
- We start by checking your existing alarms and layout. We then mark suitable locations, install or replace the alarms, connect any hard wired units, and test each alarm and any interconnection. Once everything is working, we show you how to test your alarms and explain any maintenance required.
