SMOKE ALARM INSTALLATION
Smoke alarms are often the first line of defence for household fires. It’s a warning sign that truly proves to be lifesaving – day or night.
If your alarm does not work then you are seriously at risk. Not only that, but so is your family, neighbours and friends. To keep Australians safe, smoke alarms are a legal requirement in all homes, as set by the National Construction Code. Not only that, but smoke detectors must be hardwired in houses that have been built or renovated since 1997.

TYPES OF SMOKE ALARMS
Before you have a smoke alarm installed it’s crucial you know what’s available. You should also seek advice on local regulations and maintenance requirements.
For example, if your device has a battery backup the battery should be replaced every 12 months. Meanwhile, the actual alarm should be replaced at least every 10 years.
With many years of experience, our team of trusted electricians can help you every step of the way.
In terms of protection, there are two main detectors for home use. They are:
Photoelectric Alarms: Containing a photocell and light beam shining away from the cell, they can essentially ‘see’ smoke before it bursts into flames, making them more effective for slow burning or smouldering fires, often characteristic of house fires. The photoelectric smoke alarm is often the preferred choice for Australian homes. The response time to fire is incredibly quick and reliable. It can be hardwired and with a lithium battery backup there is additional safety even during a power outage.
Ionisation smoke detectors: Containing a very small amount of radioactive material, they can essentially ‘smell’ the particles emitted in a fire, which makes them better for detecting fast flames, that don’t emit much visible smoke
