Smoke Alarm Inspections & Safety Checks in the North Shore
Smoke alarms are a vital safety feature of any home or property. They alert you to smoke or fire and sound an alarm so that you can get out of harm’s way. But they need to be checked periodically by a licensed electrician to make sure they’re in good working order!
A smoke alarm needs to be checked to see if it has been installed in accordance with regulations and building codes. The installation needs to be done by a licensed electrician and an inspection is completed before turning it on the first time.
Smoke alarms also need to be checked to see if they are working properly. This can be done by testing and carrying out maintenance on them regularly. Maintenance can include replacing the batteries and clearing dust/debris with a vacuum cleaner.
Where should you place smoke detectors?
It is recommended that smoke alarms are located in bedrooms to provide occupants with a warning if they are sleeping. However, there are many other areas of the house that need protection too such as kitchens, hallways, and living rooms (in other words anywhere smoke or flames can start.
Are electricians required to install Smoke Alarms?

If your smoke alarm is constantly beeping, it could mean your battery might need to be replaced. A smoke alarm is likely to chirp every 30-60 seconds for seven days, you might also hear a “low battery” message. If your smoke alarm is consistently beeping, and there is no smoke, contact an electrician to ensure your home stays protected.
NOTE: You should speak to or engage a qualified electrician to carry out any work on your smoke alarm, to ensure you’ve got the appropriate protection. It is generally recommended that:
Once a month Smoke alarm test buttons should be pushed to make sure the alarm sounds and the battery is functioning properly.
6 monthly: Clean your smoke alarm with a vacuum cleaner. This removes debris or dust that may have built up and could stop the smoke alarm from functioning properly in an emergency.
Yearly:Â If your smoke alarm is powered by a battery, it is recommended that you swap it with a new one every year.
Every 10 years: All kinds of smoke alarms should be replaced with a new smoke alarm at least every 10 years. They are not designed to last forever, and their sensitivity usually decreases the older they get.Â
