FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What type of smoke alarm is required in Victoria?
Victorian regulations require photoelectric smoke alarms that comply with Australian Standard AS 3786. Ionisation-type alarms are no longer compliant for new installations. We install the correct type every time.
How many smoke alarms do I need in my home?
In Victoria, smoke alarms must be installed on each storey of a home, in every bedroom, and in hallways connecting bedrooms to the rest of the house. We'll assess your property and advise on the correct number and placement.
Do I need a licensed electrician to install a smoke alarm?
Hardwired smoke alarms must be installed by a licensed electrician. While battery-operated alarms can technically be self-installed, we strongly recommend using a licensed electrician to ensure correct placement and compliance.
How long do smoke alarms last?
Smoke alarms should be replaced every 10 years. The manufacture date is printed on the back of the unit. We can check your existing alarms and replace any that are expired or nearing end of life.
Are landlords required to have smoke alarms installed?
Yes. Victorian law requires all rental properties to have working smoke alarms installed. Landlords are responsible for ensuring alarms are installed, functional, and compliant before a tenancy begins. We work with property managers across Melbourne to keep rental properties compliant.
What is an interconnected smoke alarm system?
An interconnected system links all smoke alarms in your home so that when one alarm detects smoke, all alarms sound simultaneously. This is the safest option, especially for larger homes or homes with sleeping areas far from the kitchen.
