When Did You Last Replace Your Smoke Alarms?
Smoke alarms have a service life, generally around ten years, and they stop being reliable well before they look old. Most people have no idea how old theirs are.
The other common problem is coverage. A single alarm in the hallway does not help much if the bedrooms are at the other end of the house with doors closed.
Then there are the standalone battery units that get taken down after one 3am chirp and never go back up.
None of this is complicated to fix, and it is the cheapest safety work you will ever have done on a house.
Alarms That Actually Wake the House
We install and replace smoke alarms, including mains-powered units with battery backup, and interconnected alarms so that when one detects smoke, every alarm in the house sounds.
That interconnection is the part that matters most in a larger or multi-storey home. A fire starting in the kitchen needs to wake someone asleep at the far end of the house, and a single local alarm will not do that reliably.
We will look at what you currently have, tell you how old it is if the unit is dated, and recommend where alarms should go.
If your alarms are being replaced as part of a renovation or a switchboard upgrade, it is straightforward to do at the same time.

Great service, happy to recommend. We booked a time to investigate a known problem in an old house. Sam turned up on time, very courteous. Found the problem source the previous electricians couldn't be bothered to fix and replaced the old wiring making the place safe. Updated the old switchboard, replaced the old smoke alarm. Left the place neat and tidy. Then....our neighbour had an intermittent problem for some time and asked Sam if he could book time to check it out. Sam checked it out while with us, found a dangerous short happening in an unusual location, made it safe and booked a time to come and repair the issue properly. Both very happy with obliging, safety focused service.
