Do my smoke alarms in Newcastle West need to be interconnected?

Yes, current NSW legislation requires that all newly installed smoke alarms in residential properties must be interconnected. If one alarm detects smoke, every device in the home will sound simultaneously, providing early warning for occupants.

Can your team update my switchboard to comply with City of Newcastle Council safety standards?

We often perform switchboard upgrades for older residences that require extra capacity for hardwired smoke alarms. Modernising your electrical board is essential for safety and ensures your dwelling complies with local authority expectations.

How quickly can you attend my home for an installation?

We maintain a 60-minute target for local callouts across the region. Contact our team to book your installation at a time that suits your schedule.

What is the difference between a smoke alarm check and an installation?

An installation involves fitting the hardware and wiring it into your electrical circuit for permanent power. A check involves testing existing units to ensure they are clean, battery-backed, and responding to smoke particles correctly.

Are photoelectric alarms better than ionisation alarms?

Yes, photoelectric alarms are recommended because they react faster to smouldering fires, which are common in residential settings. We exclusively install photoelectric units to provide the highest level of safety for your household.
