Smoke Alarm Installation Melbourne

Did you know that hard wired 240 volt smoke alarms have a 10 year shelf life? You can check this by opening the cover of the alarm and you will see a manufacture date or a replace by date. When it comes to smoke alarm installation, there is not really much to consider. With 3 out of 5 fire related deaths at home caused by faulty smoke alarm installations or a lack of smoke alarms, they simple are just a must have. So much so, it is now illegal for any home built after 1997 to not have smoke alarms installed. In addition to this, in Victoria, smoke alarms must also be located within 1.5m of each bedroom and must be over 300mm away from walls to cover a few of the requirements.

What should I look out for with smoke alarm installation?

While smoke alarm installation is a simple task for us, it is one that we take very seriously. Not only do we offer a lifetime warranty on all labour work, our smoke alarm installers will also provide you with leading advice on how to keep your family or colleagues protected. Most people still request for battery operated smoke alarms. However, we highly recommend hardwired smoke detector installation for all homes (in fact, this is compulsory for new builds). By installing hardwired smoke alarms, the power is taken from the mains and has a battery backup for blackouts. This is much safer than battery-only detectors where the battery is the only power source.

Whether just a single smoke alarm installation or a complex setup for your domestic or commercial property, no job is too big or too small. Speak to us today on 0413 012 013 to discuss your smoke alarms and we would be happy to assist.
