G’day I’m Andrew Your Local Smoke Alarm Installer

Do you need hard wired smoke alarms installed?

Last year a four-year-old boy and his grandfather died in a tragic house fire in Perth. Firefighters say they could have lived if there had been a smoke alarm installed. It’s a sad fact, but every year we hear of people dying needlessly in house fires. They don’t have the simplest of warning systems in place. Smoke alarms save lives. FACT!

If you rent or lease a house or you’re looking to sell – the law requires that you have at least one hard-wired smoke alarm installed. If you value your life and the life of your loved ones – common sense says that you have multiple smoke alarms installed.

*our Perth smoke alarms can be battery operated or hard-wired into a building’s mains power. We recommend hard-wired smoke alarms as they are more reliable. We also recommend that smoke alarms be interconnected. This means that when one smoke alarm detects a fire, all alarms throughout the house will sound to alert all the occupants of your home. For optimum smoke detection; long life photoelectric smoke alarms should be installed in every bedroom, living area and hallway in the house and on every level.

LEGISLATION
As a bare minimum, a smoke alarm installation must be fitted in the hallway closest to the bedrooms. If you live in a typical Australian 4 by 2 where the main bedroom is separate from the secondary bedrooms – then you will require two smoke alarms installed.

It is also recommended that you install interconnected photoelectric smoke alarms where possible. This means that when one smoke alarm detects a fire that all the alarms go off. If your house was built after May 2015 – the law requires that they are interconnected. We recommend Clipsal smoke alarms – www.clipsal.com/smokealarms

Smoke alarms should be mains powered with battery back-up – but sometimes it’s not possible to install one. Typically this happens when you have a concrete ceiling where there is no hidden space to run the electrical wiring. In this instance, a 10-year lithium battery powered smoke alarm fitting is recommended. See recommend Brooks smoke alarms. www.brooks.com.au/home-smoke-alarms/battery-powered/
