Ensuring Safety for Your Home and Loved Ones
A properly installed smoke alarm is your first line of defence against fire hazards in the home. Whether you need a 240v smoke alarm or a photoelectric smoke alarm, ensuring they’re set up correctly and maintained is vital for protecting your family. Our expert team at Switched on Services provides professional smoke alarm installation services tailored to meet Australian standards, including guidelines from Fire and Rescue NSW. We offer comprehensive solutions to keep your property safe, day and night.
Why Smoke Alarms Are Essential
Every year, house fires claim lives and cause significant property damage. A smoke alarm that’s properly installed and maintained can save lives by giving you early warning of fire hazards, including smouldering fires. These alarms detect the first signs of fire, helping you act quickly to avoid disaster.
Key benefits of smoke detectors and photoelectric smoke alarms include:
- Early detection of both fast-flaming and smouldering fires
- Compliance with Australian fire safety regulations
- Long-lasting power with lithium batteries and 9v battery options
- Interconnected smoke alarms for whole-house protection
Remember, having the right alarm in the right location—such as living areas or bedrooms—ensures optimal protection.

Avoiding False Alarms and Nuisance Alarms
False and nuisance alarms can be frustrating, especially if they happen frequently. Smoke alarms may go off due to cooking smoke, humidity, or steam. Our team ensures your alarm installation reduces the likelihood of these issues. We place alarms away from potential triggers, ensuring that the alarm detects smoke only in real emergencies.
If the alarm is false, press this button to reset the device. If nuisance alarms persist, we can evaluate the placement and settings to minimize disruptions.
We take pride in our excellent customer service and offer flexible scheduling to accommodate your needs. Whether you need an upgrade, maintenance, or a new installation, our team will complete the job efficiently and with the utmost care.
Smoke Alarm Power Options
Choosing the right power option for your smoke alarm can significantly improve performance and convenience. Our team installs alarms with both 9V battery and lithium battery options. A lithium battery offers a longer lifespan, often up to 10 years, reducing the need for frequent changes. For those who prefer traditional setups, we also provide alarms powered by a 9V battery, which typically needs replacement once a year.
The Importance of Interconnected Smoke Alarms
Interconnected smoke alarms are highly recommended for homes with multiple rooms or levels. When one alarm detects smoke, all alarms are triggered, warning the entire home. This gives you additional time to respond, no matter where you are in the house. Our licensed electricians can seamlessly install these systems, ensuring compliance with Fire and Rescue NSW recommendations.
