SERVICE OVERVIEW

Smoke alarms are a critical component in protecting residential, commercial, and industrial properties from fire hazards. However, because they’re often installed out of sight, they tend to be overlooked until an emergency occurs. With multiple smoke alarm types available — each designed for different applications — selecting the correct alarm and ensuring proper placement can be challenging. That’s where Gambit Electrical comes in. Our licensed electricians will assess your property, recommend the most suitable smoke alarms, and install them in accordance with the requirements of AS/NZS 3000:2018 (the Australian/New Zealand Wiring Rules), ensuring your system is safe, effective, and fully compliant.

Key Smoke Alarm Installation & Maintenance Tips

To maintain effective fire safety, keep the following in mind:

Always consult a licensed electrician to select the correct type and number of alarms for your property.
Install alarms in compliance with AS/NZS 3000:2018 and relevant local regulations, ensuring proper coverage and placement.
Test each alarm immediately after installation to verify correct operation.
Perform monthly tests by pressing and holding the “Test” button for a minimum of five seconds until the alarm sounds.
Replace batteries annually in non-hardwired alarms, and replace entire units as recommended by the manufacturer (usually every 10 years).

POPULAR QUESTIONS

Do I need smoke alarms at my house?

Yes — under NSW legislation, it is a legal requirement for all homes to have working smoke alarms installed. Smoke alarms are essential for protecting both the occupants and the property itself, providing critical early warning in the event of a fire.

In addition to state laws, the installation of smoke alarms must also comply with the requirements set out in AS/NZS 3000:2018 (the Australian/New Zealand Wiring Rules), ensuring alarms are correctly positioned, interconnected where necessary, and properly maintained.

Sadly, an average of 21 deaths occur in residential fires across Australia each year — and statistics show that up to half of these tragic incidents could have been prevented if working smoke alarms had been installed. Don’t risk it — ensure your home is legally compliant and properly protected with professionally installed, AS/NZS 3000:2018-compliant smoke alarms.
What Should I Do if My Smoke Alarm Stops Working?

All smoke alarms have a defined service life, typically 10 years from the date of manufacture, as recommended by manufacturers and in line with AS/NZS 3786 and AS/NZS 3000:2018 requirements for electrical safety. If your smoke alarm is no longer functioning, it could be due to reaching its expiry date or a mechanical or electrical fault.

Common signs that a smoke alarm is no longer reliable include visible ageing — such as yellowing, discolouration, or outdated design — and failure of the test button when pressed. These are clear indicators that the device may no longer offer effective protection.

For your safety, any non-functional or expired smoke alarm should be replaced immediately. Don’t take risks when it comes to fire safety — contact Immediate Electrical Services and have one of our licensed electricians inspect, test, and replace your alarms to ensure your home remains properly protected and compliant.
Why does my smoke alarm beep?

If your smoke alarm is beeping or chirping intermittently, it’s usually a warning that something requires attention. This may indicate a low battery in the unit or an internal fault affecting its operation. Both are important safety signals that should never be ignored, as a faulty or non-functional smoke alarm cannot provide adequate protection in the event of a fire. It’s essential to contact a licensed electrician to inspect the alarm, identify the cause, and either replace the battery or the unit itself if required, ensuring continued safety and compliance with AS/NZS 3786 and AS/NZS 3000:2018 standards.
