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:

  1. Ionisation Smoke Alarms – Quick to detect fast-flaming fires that produce little smoke — these are ideal for rooms containing highly flammable materials.
  2. Photoelectric Smoke Alarms – Excellent at sensing slow-burning or smouldering fires that emit a lot of smoke. Recommended for bedrooms and living areas.
  3. Dual Sensor Smoke Alarms – Combine both ionisation and photoelectric technologies, offering comprehensive fire detection.
  4. Smart Smoke Alarms – Connect to your home Wi-Fi, allowing remote monitoring and notifications on your smartphone.
  5. 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.

We recently had Jarryd and Emerson on site at late notice when our other electrician was unavailable. We were doing a full home reno and the boys jumped straight in and completed everything we needed so not to hold up other trades. We then had them back a couple of times to change lights /fans / add lighting / power up shaving mirrors & bathroom heat lamps & fans and move air con units. Every time they were professional, on time & had great communication with bookings & changes to times. We're very happy customers and trust them with all our electrical work. Thanks heaps guys 👌 great work!

Frequently Asked Questions

At Down to the Wire, we install various types of smoke alarms to ensure your safety, including:

  • Photoelectric Smoke Alarm: Can detect smouldering fires quickly, suitable for bedrooms and living areas.

  • Ionisation Smoke Alarm: Best for detecting fast-flaming fires, often used in kitchens.

  • Dual Sensor Smoke Alarm: Combines both photoelectric and ionisation technologies for comprehensive detection.

  • Smart Smoke Alarm: Offers remote monitoring and notifications via smartphone apps.

  • Strobe Light and Vibration Smoke Alarm: Designed for individuals with hearing impairments, providing visual and physical alerts.

Each type has its unique benefits, and we can help you decide which is best suited for your home’s needs.

Sure, guiding you on the necessary number of smoke alarms for your property is something we can help with. Here’s our approach:

  • One smoke alarm in each bedroom for individual safety.
  • Alarms in hallways that lead to bedrooms, ensure a safe exit path.
  • A smoke alarm on every level of the home, including basements and attics, to cover all areas.
  • Consideration of special areas like living rooms and kitchens for additional alarms, depending on the layout and size of your property.

We tailor our recommendations to ensure your safety and compliance with safety regulations.

For interconnected photoelectric smoke alarms, here’s where you need them:

  • Each bedroom for quick smoke detection while you sleep.
  • Hallways leading to bedrooms to alert everyone in sleeping areas.
  • Every level of the home, including basements and lofts, for widespread coverage.
  • Common areas like living rooms and staircases to catch smoke from various sources.

This setup ensures when one alarm sounds, they all do, providing an immediate warning throughout your property.

Yes, we offer maintenance and support for your smoke alarm installations:

  • Routine check-ups to ensure functionality
  • Battery replacements and system tests
  • Cleaning services to prevent false alarms
  • Support for any issues or questions you have

Your safety is our priority, and we’re here to keep your smoke alarms in top condition.

Your smoke alarm should be replaced:

  • Every 10 years from the date of manufacture, not the date of purchase.
  • If it fails to respond properly during monthly tests.
  • When it frequently gives false alarms or chirps even after battery replacement.
  • After any significant incident like a fire, even if it appears undamaged.

It’s vital to ensure your safety with reliable, functioning smoke detectors.

Signs that your smoke alarm battery needs attention include:

  • The smoke alarm emits a chirping sound at regular intervals.

  • The alarm fails to test properly when the test button is pressed.

  • The alarm gives false alarms without the presence of smoke.

  • The device indicates a low battery status through a flashing LED light or a specific beep pattern.

The smoke alarm battery should be replaced:

  • Once a year as routine maintenance.
  • Whenever the alarm chirps, indicating the battery is low.
  • Before the expiry date on the battery if it’s provided.

Regularly replacing the battery ensures your smoke alarm remains operational, keeping you safe.

Down To The Wire offers professional services for replacing the base of hardwired smoke alarms, ensuring they comply with current safety standards and regulations. Their team handles the installation process with precision, ensuring that your smoke detectors function correctly and provide the necessary safety for your home.

At Down to the Wire, our commitment to your safety is paramount, especially when it comes to smoke alarm installation. Here’s what we offer:

  • Comprehensive warranty on all installations
  • Dedicated support for any queries or issues
  • Expert advice for optimal smoke alarm placement
  • Regular maintenance tips to ensure longevity and reliability

Rest assured, we’re here to support you long after the installation is complete, keeping your home safe and secure.

Since January 2022, the following smoke alarm legislation changes have been implemented. They are:

  • Smoke detectors in all Queensland dwellings must be photoelectric and not contain an ionisation sensor.

  • Alarms must be hardwired to the electrical supply or powered by a non-removable 10-year battery.

  • Smoke alarms must be interconnected with every other smoke alarm in the dwelling to activate together.

  • There should be smoke alarms in every bedroom, hallways connecting bedrooms and the rest of the dwelling, and on every level.

 

Various legal requirements for smoke alarms in The Redlands, Australia have been introduced, such as:

  • Smoke alarms must be installed on every level of a home.

  • Alarms should be placed in every bedroom, in hallways that connect bedrooms to the rest of the house, and in any other strategic locations for early fire detection.

  • All smoke detectors should comply with the Australian Standard (AS) 3786-2014.

  • Properties built or significantly renovated after specific dates must have interconnected smoke alarms.
