We highly recommend hardwired smoke detector installation for all homes (in fact, this is compulsory for new builds). The alarm draws power from the mains, so it is always on, and has a battery backup for blackouts. This is much safer than battery-only detectors where the battery is the only power source and creates a singular point of failure.
Placement is another important factor to make sure you are using your smoke alarms correctly. You’re not going to catch a kitchen fire if your smoke alarm is in the linen cupboard. Airflow, size of a room, and room type are all factors that go into choosing where a smoke alarm should be placed. This is best done in consultation with a professional who has years of experience in installing these units. Placement is crucial when it comes to smoke alarms, for quick activation in the event of a fire.
Whether you’re unsure if your device is up to code or you need new units installed, we can deliver reliable smoke alarm testing services.
We can also provide records to show that your property is compliant with all current legislation and that the positioning of your smoke detector complies with the Building Code of Australia. We guarantee that every job QCE completes, is carried out in compliance with the Australian Standards AS 3786-1993. Our technicians are fully trained and qualified to the latest industry standards and are required to undertake both on-site and off-site training.
