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.

Hard-Wired Smoke Alarm Installation

The current regulations state that with smoke alarm installations there must be a minimum of 1 smoke alarm on each floor of a house and depending on the size and layout – more are often advised.

🔔 Hard-Wired Smoke Alarm Installation Perth

Western Australian law requires working smoke alarms in every home. If yours are more than 10 years old, chirping at 3am, or you’re selling or renting your property — it’s time for an upgrade. We install hard-wired, interconnected smoke alarms that meet current Australian Standards (AS 3786:2014) so every room hears the alarm when one goes off.

Our dad Tony has been doing this since before smoke alarms were mandatory. Between him and the rest of the crew, we’ve fitted thousands of units across Perth — from brand new builds in Baldivis to 1960s weatherboard homes in Mt Lawley that still had the original battery units from the 90s.

🏠 What the Law Requires

If you’re selling or leasing a property in WA, you need interconnected, mains-powered photoelectric smoke alarms in every bedroom, hallway, and living area. Battery-only units no longer comply for property transfers.

Key WA Requirements:

  • Photoelectric type (not ionisation) — fewer false alarms from cooking
  • Hard-wired to mains power with battery backup
  • Interconnected — when one triggers, they all sound
  • Installed in every bedroom plus connecting hallways
  • Replaced every 10 years (check the manufacture date on the back)

💰 What’s Included in Our Service

Supply & InstallWe provide quality Australian-brand photoelectric alarms — no cheap imports that fail in 2 years.
InterconnectionAll alarms wired together so the whole house hears it. Wireless interconnect available for older homes where cabling is difficult.
Compliance CertificateYou get paperwork confirming your home meets current WA regulations — essential for property sales and leases.
Old Alarm RemovalWe remove and dispose of your old units. No mess left behind.

❓ Smoke Alarm FAQs

How many smoke alarms does my house need?

Under current WA law, you need one in every bedroom, every hallway connecting bedrooms, and at least one on each level. A typical 3-bed home usually needs 4–5 units.

Can you install them without cutting into my ceiling?

Hard-wired alarms do need a small hole for the wiring, but we patch and paint where needed. For heritage homes, we can use wireless interconnect models that only need a power point nearby.

My smoke alarm keeps going off when I cook — is it faulty?

Probably not faulty, just the wrong type. Ionisation alarms are notorious for kitchen false alarms. We replace them with photoelectric units that respond to smouldering fires but ignore your burnt toast.

How long does installation take?

A typical 3-bedroom home takes about 2–3 hours including wiring, testing, and cleanup. We’ll have you compliant before lunch.
