Service guide
Plan smoke alarm work for the property and its occupants.
Smoke alarm work starts by separating an active emergency from a planned inspection, replacement or installation. The suitable alarm arrangement depends on the premises, existing wiring, alarm compatibility and the requirements applying to that property.
An active fire is not an alarm-service call
If there is fire or smoke, leave the danger area and call 000 from a safe place. Electrical inspection can follow only after emergency services have made the situation safe.
- Do not re-enter a dangerous area to silence, inspect or retrieve an alarm.
- Do not disable, cover or paint over an alarm that is sounding or faulty.
- A non-emergency chirp or fault can be booked for inspection once there is no fire or smoke danger.
Check the existing alarm arrangement
Our licensed electricians review accessible alarms, their power source, location, condition and any existing interconnection before recommending electrical work.
- Property type, sleeping areas and layout affect the assessment.
- The age, model and compatibility of existing alarms can affect replacement choices.
- Rental, strata and other premises can have different duties, so the owner or agent should confirm the records and requirements applying to the property.
Installation, replacement and interconnection
The scope may be a like-for-like hardwired replacement, an additional alarm, a new circuit connection or an interconnection review.
- Hardwired electrical work is completed by our licensed electricians.
- Existing wiring and alarm compatibility are checked before units are interconnected.
- Ceiling access, concealed wiring and the condition of the existing installation can change the work required.
Testing and handover
Installed or replaced alarms are tested within the completed scope, and the result is explained to the person responsible for the property.
- Operation and interconnection are checked where those features are part of the work.
- Alarm locations, units changed and any outstanding issues can be recorded in the job notes.
- Working smoke alarms provide early warning but cannot eliminate fire risk.

FAQ
Common questions.
Can you replace hardwired smoke alarms?
Yes. Hardwired smoke alarms can be replaced by a licensed electrician.
Why does my smoke alarm keep chirping?
A chirp can relate to a battery, the unit's age, contamination, power supply or a fault. Do not disable the alarm; follow its manufacturer information and arrange an inspection if the cause is unclear.
Do rental properties need working smoke alarms?
NSW rental properties have smoke alarm duties, but the exact responsibilities and records depend on the premises and tenancy circumstances. Owners and agents should confirm what applies to their property rather than relying on a universal checklist.
Can existing smoke alarms be interconnected?
It depends on the alarm models, power arrangement, wiring and property layout. Compatibility and access should be checked before an interconnection method is selected.
Does installing smoke alarms remove all fire risk?
No. Working smoke alarms provide early warning, but they do not prevent a fire or replace an evacuation plan and other fire-safety measures.
