Frequently Asked Questions

What types of smoke alarms are required in Australian homes and businesses?

Smoke alarms must comply with the National Construction Code. Homes typically require one smoke alarm in each bedroom, sleeping area, and living area. Hardwired smoke alarms or 10-year battery alarms are recommended for reliable protection.

How often should smoke alarms be tested and maintained?

Maintenance smoke alarms should be tested monthly using the test button. Smoke alarm batteries need replacement at least annually. Experienced technicians recommend cleaning dust and checking that each smoke alarm activates properly to ensure your property remains safe.

Can smoke alarms be interconnected, and why is it important?

Hardwired smoke alarms can be interconnected so that when one smoke alarm activates, all alarms will sound throughout the house. This ensures alarms wake occupants in sleeping areas and alert them to smoke from dead air spaces.

Who is responsible for smoke alarm compliance in rental properties?

Landlords and property managers must ensure that all existing and new smoke alarms are in good working order. Regular inspections, maintenance, and replacement of smoke alarms when necessary ensure that tenants and properties remain safe.

What are the options for replacing outdated or non-compliant smoke alarms?

Replacing smoke alarms involves installing new or hardwired alarms in bedrooms, living areas, and hallways. Smoke alarm experts ensure alarms are correctly located on ceilings or walls, free from dust, dead air spaces, or obstructions.

How quickly can faulty smoke alarms or system faults be repaired?

Experienced technicians diagnose false alarms or faults when smoke alarms emit irregular sounds. Repairs or replacements are done promptly to ensure working smoke alarms activate properly and maintain security and safety throughout the property.

Do smoke alarms need to comply with both state and national regulations?

Yes. Smoke alarms must meet the National Construction Code and Victoria’s legislation. Properly locating new alarms in bedrooms, sleeping areas, and living areas ensures the alarm activates correctly, wakes occupants, and provides property-wide protection in emergencies.

Can I get professional advice on designing a smoke alarm system for my property?

Smoke alarm experts assess the number of alarms required, optimal placement, and the use of hardwired or battery-operated alarms. They ensure that alarms will sound effectively, wake occupants, and remain in good working order, and they maintain them regularly.
