About Our Smoke Alarm Installation Service
Types of Smoke Alarms
Here at Down To The Wire, we’re experts in all types of smoke detectors and understand the unique benefits of each kind:
- Ionisation Smoke Alarms – Quick to detect fast-flaming fires that produce little smoke — these are ideal for rooms containing highly flammable materials.
- Photoelectric Smoke Alarms – Excellent at sensing slow-burning or smouldering fires that emit a lot of smoke. Recommended for bedrooms and living areas.
- Dual Sensor Smoke Alarms – Combine both ionisation and photoelectric technologies, offering comprehensive fire detection.
- Smart Smoke Alarms – Connect to your home Wi-Fi, allowing remote monitoring and notifications on your smartphone.
- Strobe Light and Vibration Smoke Alarm: Designed for individuals with hearing impairments, providing visual and physical alerts.
Each type has its specific application, ensuring your home is equipped with the most effective fire detection system.
Legal Requirements and Compliance
As Down To The Wire, we’re committed to ensuring all our smoke alarm installations comply with Australian standards and legal requirements:
- Adhere to AS 3786-2014 for smoke alarms.
- Install smoke alarms in every bedroom, hallway, and level of the house.
- Ensure smoke alarms are interconnected in properties built or significantly renovated after 2014.
- Replace smoke alarms every 10 years.
- Test and maintain smoke alarms regularly for functionality.
We ensure your home meets all safety standards and legal obligations for smoke alarm installations.
How to Choose the Right Smoke Alarm
Choosing the right smoke alarm and installing it properly is crucial for your home’s safety. Here’s how we do it at Down To The Wire:
- Assess your home’s layout to determine the best type of smoke detector for each area.
- Opt for photoelectric alarms for general use, especially near kitchens and bedrooms to reduce false alarms.
- Ensure alarms are interconnected for simultaneous alerts.
- Follow the manufacturer’s instructions closely during installation, placing alarms on ceilings or high on walls.
- Test the alarm once installed to confirm it’s working correctly.
This process ensures optimal placement and functionality for your smoke alarms, enhancing your home’s safety.
Installation Process
1. Initial Consultation
At first, we will assess your needs and plan the installation.
2. Choose Smoke Alarm
We will examine the following factors:
- Coverage Area: The size and layout of the property determine the number and type of alarms needed.
- Type of Dwelling: Residential homes may have different requirements compared to commercial spaces, affecting the choice of alarm.
- Presence of Vulnerable Individuals: Homes with elderly, children, or individuals with disabilities might need more sophisticated systems.
- Existing Home Automation Systems: Compatibility with smart home systems can influence the type of alarm selected.
- Local Regulations and Standards: Compliance with local fire safety codes is crucial.
3. Post Installation
We will conduct thorough testing to ensure each alarm functions correctly and is interconnected with the system for unified alerts in case of smoke detection.
