Smoke detectors are one of the most important electrical components of your home. So have them installed, replaced and repaired by our experienced, licensed and local Sydney electricians today!
Smoke alarms save lives – so when you require installation, repairs or replacements, you need a licensed and qualified electrician in Sydney.
As you may already know, functional smoke alarms are mandated in all residential and commercial properties across New South Wales. Failing to comply with this rule can invite hefty fines and even jail time, whether you’re the tenant, landlord or property owner. That’s why it’s essential to ensure that the smoke alarms on your property are in working condition to alert the residents of a fire or gas leak and save their lives.
However, there are different types of smoke alarms, and not everyone may know how to use them. Likewise, some smoke alarms may have a separate battery system or be wired into your home’s circuitry to provide backup if the battery fails.
You can ensure your smoke detectors are installed and working correctly by speaking with your Sydney smoke alarm technicians. For more information or to book an appointment, call us on (02) 9167 9488 today!
Fire and Rescue NSW states that smoke alarms must comply with Australian Standard AS 3786.
For homeowners, it is required by law that they have a smoke alarm installed on every level of their home. This includes:
A landlord must ensure that every property floor has a smoke alarm installed. A tenant must notify the landlord when a smoke alarm requires a replacement battery.
If the smoke alarm is not working, landlords and agents must have the alarm repaired within two business days (including replacing the battery). A qualified technician should also inspect all smoke alarms on an annual basis. It is the landlord’s and agent’s responsibility to ensure the following:
Some smoke alarms may reach the end of their time, meaning no amount of servicing can revive them. This is when you’d want to replace it with a similar or better model. Most smoke alarms last an average of 10 years, so we recommend changing them every decade.
Aside from that, technical faults in the smoke alarms will cause them to malfunction. Anything from dead batteries to dirt and moisture build-up or internal parts faults can prevent them from beeping or trigger false alarms. In resolving the more serious issues, the DIY way can invite more troubles if you aren’t aware of the know-how.
You can usually replace the batteries when required and wipe off dirt or moisture outside. However, the best way to keep them optimally functional for prolonged periods is to opt for regular professional maintenance.
