Smoke Alarm Installation – Q&As

 

1. Do I legally need a smoke alarm in my home?

Yes. NSW law requires working smoke alarms in all homes, units, townhouses and rental properties. Every level of the home must have at least one alarm installed. Landlords and homeowners are responsible for ensuring alarms are compliant and operational.

2. How often should smoke alarms be replaced?

Smoke alarms must be replaced every 10 years, as sensors lose sensitivity over time. Even if the alarm still β€œbeeps,” an expired unit may not detect smoke properly. Photoelectric alarms are recommended for best protection.

3. Where should smoke alarms be installed?

Smoke alarms should be installed:

  • In hallways connecting bedrooms

  • On every level of the home

  • Near living areas

  • Away from kitchens and bathrooms (to avoid false alarms)
    We assess your property layout to ensure alarms meet NSW Fire & Rescue guidelines.

4. Do you install hard-wired or battery smoke alarms?

We install hard-wired photoelectric smoke alarms, which are required in many NSW homes under AS3786. Hard-wired alarms offer better safety, reliability and compliance.

We also install interconnected alarms upon request.

5. How much does smoke alarm installation cost in Sydney?

Typical pricing:

  • Smoke alarm installation: from $145

  • Interconnected alarm installation: from $180

  • Smoke alarm replacement: from $145
    Pricing depends on wiring access, number of alarms and placement requirements.

6. Should smoke alarms be interconnected?

Interconnected alarms provide higher protection.
When one alarm detects smoke, all alarms activate, giving earlier warning β€” especially at night or in multi-level homes. They are strongly recommended and often required in new builds.

7. How do I test my smoke alarm?

Smoke alarms should be tested monthly using the test button.
Batteries should be replaced yearly, unless the alarm has a built-in 10-year battery. Hard-wired alarms also require regular testing and cleaning.

8. Do you install smoke alarms for rental properties and NDIS housing?

Yes β€” we install and maintain smoke alarms for:

  • Rental properties

  • NDIS homes

  • Community housing

  • Strata and unit blocks

  • New builds and renovations

We provide full compliance documentation where required.

9. What happens if my smoke alarm keeps beeping?

A beeping alarm may indicate:

  • Low battery

  • Dust inside the sensor

  • Faulty or expired alarm

  • Wiring issue

We diagnose the cause and replace the alarm if needed.
