Why Functioning Smoke Alarms Matter

A working smoke alarm can save lives by providing early fire detection and critical time to evacuate. In Victoria, regulations require smoke alarms on every level of the home, especially near bedrooms and in hallways.

You may need new alarms or servicing if:

• Your alarms are more than 10 years old

• They’re battery-only and not hardwired

• You’re unsure if they meet current safety standards

• You’re experiencing frequent false alarms or beeping

• You’re a landlord or property manager needing to meet compliance

FAQs – Smoke Alarms in Perth

How often should smoke alarms be replaced?
Smoke alarms need replacing every 10 years regardless of their appearance. We can check expiry dates and advise on replacements.

Do I need hardwired smoke alarms?
Yes. Most new homes, renovations, and rental properties require hardwired alarms with battery backup to meet legal standards.

How many smoke alarms should I install?
At minimum, one smoke alarm per level is required. Best practice is to install alarms in every bedroom, hallway, and living space, especially in larger homes.

Can smoke alarms be linked?
Absolutely. Interconnected alarms communicate so that if one detects smoke, all alarms sound, providing quicker alerts in multi-level homes.

Are landlords responsible for smoke alarm maintenance?
Yes. Landlords must ensure smoke alarms are operational before each tenancy and replace batteries yearly. We offer reliable maintenance plans for rental properties.
