Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a licensed electrician to install a smoke alarm?
Yes. In Victoria, hard-wired smoke alarms must be installed by a licensed electrician. Our team provides full smoke alarm install Melbourne services for both residential and commercial clients.
What types of smoke alarms do you install?
We install photoelectric smoke alarms, which are recommended for residential use, along with heat alarms and interconnected units for multi-room properties.
When should smoke alarms be replaced?
Every 10 years. Even if they still seem to work, their internal sensors degrade over time and may not detect smoke effectively.
What’s the benefit of interconnected smoke alarms?
Interconnected alarms ensure all units sound at the same time. This gives every occupant early warning, even if the fire starts in a room far from where they’re sleeping.
Do you provide smoke alarm wiring for new homes?
Yes. We work with builders, electricians, and project managers to provide full smoke alarm wiring Melbourne services during construction or renovation.
Can you install battery-operated alarms?
Yes. While we recommend hard-wired alarms with battery backup for most properties, we can also install battery-only units where appropriate or required.
Is your work compliant with current smoke alarm regulations?
Absolutely. We install all alarms to meet AS 3786 standards and comply with Victorian Building Authority regulations for homes and rental properties.
Do you install alarms in rental properties?
Yes. We install and maintain alarms for real estate agencies, landlords, and tenants. We also provide documentation to support compliance with rental laws.
What’s the difference between a smoke detector and a smoke alarm?
A smoke detector senses smoke and sends a signal to a separate alarm system. A smoke alarm includes both the sensor and alarm in one unit, commonly used in residential settings.
Do you offer commercial fire alarm installation in Melbourne?
Yes. Our fire alarm installation Melbourne service includes alarms for offices, shops, and other commercial premises, including system upgrades and maintenance.
Can you repair faulty smoke alarms?
Yes. We diagnose and repair issues with wired or battery-operated alarms to ensure proper function and safety.
