How It Works
Getting professional electrical help is easy. Here's our straightforward 4-step process from first contact to job completion.
Property Assessment
We assess your property layout, identify the number and locations of smoke alarms required by regulations, and check existing alarms for age, type, and condition.
Recommendation & Quote
We recommend the optimal smoke alarm system — photoelectric, hardwired, interconnected — and provide a clear quote for supply, installation, and compliance certification.
Professional Installation
Our electrician installs all alarms in the correct positions, hardwires to your electrical system with battery backup, and interconnects all alarms for whole-house alerting.
Test & Certify
We test every alarm individually and verify interconnection (triggering one to confirm all sound). You receive a compliance certificate and guidance on monthly testing and annual maintenance.

Professional Electrical Services You Can Trust
Working smoke alarms save lives — they provide the early warning needed to evacuate safely in a fire. Tradetek Solutions installs, tests, and maintains smoke alarm systems for homes, rental properties, and commercial buildings across NSW. We install both photoelectric and ionisation alarms, hardwired and battery-powered models, and interconnected systems where all alarms sound together when one is triggered. All installations comply with the Building Code of Australia and NSW fire safety regulations.
We design smoke alarm systems based on your property's layout and the relevant regulations. Current best practice recommends photoelectric alarms (which detect smouldering fires earlier than ionisation types) installed on every level, in every bedroom, and in hallways connecting bedrooms. We install hardwired, interconnected systems for maximum protection — when one alarm detects smoke, all alarms in the house sound simultaneously.
Common Electrical Issues We Solve
1Expired Smoke Alarms
Smoke alarms have a 10-year lifespan, after which their sensors degrade and they may not detect smoke reliably. Many homes still have alarms from the early 2000s or earlier that are well past their replacement date.
2Non-Interconnected Alarms
Standalone alarms in a large home may not be heard from distant bedrooms. Interconnected systems ensure that when one alarm triggers, all alarms throughout the home sound — critical for early warning and safe evacuation.
3Rental Property Compliance
NSW regulations require landlords to install smoke alarms on every level, test them between tenancies, and replace them before their 10-year expiry. Non-compliance creates liability risk and potential penalties.
4Alarms Chirping or Beeping
Intermittent chirping usually indicates a low battery or end-of-life alarm. We replace batteries or the entire alarm as needed, and can upgrade from battery-only to hardwired for more reliable protection.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about our electrical services answered by our experts
What type of smoke alarm is best?
What type of smoke alarm is best?
Current Australian standards and fire authorities recommend photoelectric smoke alarms, which are better at detecting smouldering fires (the most common type in homes). We install photoelectric alarms as standard unless you have specific requirements for ionisation or combination alarms.
How many smoke alarms do I need?
How many smoke alarms do I need?
As a minimum, you need smoke alarms on every level of your home, in every bedroom, and in hallways connecting bedrooms. Additional alarms in living areas and near kitchens (but not inside kitchens) provide extra protection. We assess your property and recommend optimal placement.
What is a hardwired smoke alarm?
What is a hardwired smoke alarm?
Hardwired smoke alarms are connected to your home's electrical wiring with a battery backup. They are more reliable than battery-only alarms (no flat batteries to worry about) and can be interconnected so all alarms sound together. Installation requires a licensed electrician.
How often should smoke alarms be tested?
How often should smoke alarms be tested?
Test your smoke alarms monthly by pressing the test button. Replace batteries annually (for battery-only or battery-backup models). Replace the entire alarm every 10 years regardless of type. We offer annual testing services for landlords and property managers.
Do you provide smoke alarm compliance for landlords?
Do you provide smoke alarm compliance for landlords?
