Answers for homeowners, landlords, strata managers and business owners across Sydney.
NSW rules require alarms on every level. For best protection, place photoelectric alarms in hallways near bedrooms and living areas. Avoid kitchens and bathrooms (steam and cooking fumes can cause nuisance alarms); install them just outside these rooms instead. A licensed electrician will map compliant locations to AS 3786:2014.
At minimum, one per storey. Larger floorplans, multiple sleeping areas, and long hallways usually need additional devices, often one in each bedroom plus corridors. We assess the layout and specify the right number to meet NSW requirements and provide early warning throughout the home.
Sydney properties should use photoelectric alarms compliant with AS 3786:2014. They respond faster to smouldering fires from furnishings or wiring and are less prone to nuisance alarms. We specify photoelectric units for new installs and replacements.
Strongly recommended for multi-storey and larger homes. When one detects smoke, all alarms sound, giving everyone more time to evacuate. Interconnection can be wired or wireless depending on access and budget.
Landlords (and strata where applicable) must ensure alarms are installed, working and regularly tested. Devices must be replaced at 10 years or sooner if faulty. We offer scheduled testing, records and reminders to help you stay compliant.
Intermittent chirps usually indicate a low battery, end-of-life alarm, dust buildup or a wiring issue (for hardwired units). Do not disable it. Test the unit, vacuum the vents, and arrange a service or replacement if the issue persists.
Press-and-hold the test button monthly, vacuum the grill every few months, and book a yearly professional check (required for many rentals). We provide full testing, documentation and reminders.
Replace 9V batteries annually unless your device has a sealed 10-year lithium cell. The whole alarm must be replaced at 10 years from manufacture (or sooner if it fails testing). We check dates during service.
DIY battery installation is possible but may not meet placement or interconnection requirements. Hardwired alarms must be installed by a licensed electrician. Professional installation ensures compliance and correct positioning.
Commercial and mixed-use premises must comply with the Building Code of Australia, council requirements and any Fire Safety Schedule. Many sites require detection systems beyond standalone alarms. We can coordinate assessments and documentation.
