Maintenance & Smoke Alarm Upgrades
Outdated alarms can put your home at risk. If your system is over 10 years old or frequently beeping, it’s time for an upgrade. We can replace faulty detectors, install new long-life lithium models, and update your setup as per standards.

Types of Smoke Alarms We Install
Photoelectric Smoke Alarm
Photoelectric smoke alarms are the safest option, and they respond quickly to smouldering fires, such as those started by overheated wires or slow-burning furniture. They’re ideal for bedrooms, hallways, and living areas for early detection. We supply and install only AS 3786–approved models, compliant with South Australian regulations.
: Battery-Powered Smoke Alarms
Battery-powered alarms are easy to install and perfect for smaller homes or rentals. They provide a cost-effective solution to meet safety requirements. We supply both 9V replaceable battery types and 10-year lithium battery models for longer-lasting performance and fewer maintenance concerns.
Ionisation Smoke Alarm
Ionisation alarms are more sensitive to fast-flaming fires, making them effective near kitchens or garages, where sudden ignition from appliances or tools is more likely. While they are not always recommended as standalone alarms in homes, we suggest their use in specific areas as part of a balanced, multi-alarm system.
Interconnected Smoke Alarms
When one alarm goes off, all the interconnected smoke detectors go off as well. This system is particularly beneficial for larger or multi-storey homes, as it ensures that everyone hears the warning, regardless of where a fire starts. This timely alert gives residents the chance to take action quickly.
Hardwired or Battery-Operated
Hardwired alarms are directly connected to your home’s power supply and provide continuous protection without relying on battery life. Many modern hardwired units also come with battery backups for added peace of mind. These smoke alarms are perfect who prefer low-maintenance and long-term safety.
