What type of smoke alarms are required in South Australia?

South Australia requires photoelectric smoke alarms in all residential properties. For new installations and major renovations, hardwired interconnected alarms are required. When one alarm detects smoke, all alarms in the house sound. Battery-only ionisation alarms no longer meet current standards.

How often should smoke alarms be replaced?

Smoke alarms should be replaced every 10 years (check the manufacture date on the alarm). Test monthly by pressing the test button. Replace batteries annually if not hardwired. If your alarms are older than 10 years or are ionisation type, upgrade to hardwired photoelectric alarms.

Why Hardwired Photoelectric Alarms?

Not all smoke alarms are created equal. Here's why we only install hardwired photoelectric alarms:

⚡ Hardwired = Reliable

Mains-powered with battery backup. No dead batteries at 3am. No forgetting to change batteries. Always operational.

🔬 Photoelectric = Safer

Detects smouldering fires faster than ionisation alarms. Better for bedrooms (less false alarms from steam/cooking).

🔗 Interconnected = Faster

When one alarm detects smoke, ALL alarms sound throughout the house. Critical for large homes or sleeping areas far from fire source.

📜 Compliant = Legal

Meets SA legislation requirements. Certificate of compliance issued. No issues when selling or renting property.
