Installation & Upgrades

We fit photoelectric smoke alarms — the only type allowed in NSW since 2022 — and upgrade older ionisation or battery-only units to hardwired, interconnected systems with 10-year batteries so every alarm sounds together when it matters most.

Testing & Compliance

From new builds and renovations to rental compliance, we place alarms to code on every level and near bedrooms, then test, clean and certify them — giving you a clear report and peace of mind that you meet all current regulations.

Frequently Asked Questions

What type of smoke alarms are required in NSW?

NSW requires photoelectric smoke alarms on every level of your home, in hallways and within 3 metres of bedrooms. New builds and major renovations must have hardwired, interconnected alarms with 10-year batteries.

Can you upgrade my old smoke alarms?

Yes. We can replace outdated ionisation alarms with modern photoelectric alarms, and upgrade battery-only alarms to hardwired systems for better protection.

How often should smoke alarms be tested?

Test your smoke alarms monthly using the test button. We recommend professional testing and cleaning annually, and replacement every 10 years.
