Nothing says love like a smoke alarm, right?
You may not have thought of smoke alarm installations like that, but it’s true!
The fact is that, in Perth, far too many fires go undetected until the damage is severe, simply because smoke alarms were never installed, are outdated, lack a backup battery, or are outfitted incorrectly.
Australia’s National Construction Code requires that all new residential buildings (whether Class 1a, Class 1b, Class 2, 3 or 4 buildings) are equipped with a smoke detection system professionally installed by a licensed electrician.
So give your family or tenants the benefit of the earliest possible warning in case of a fire! Consider installing hard-wired smoke alarms in your home, business, or rental property.
It might seem obvious WHY smoke alarms are mandatory, but did you know that in the past 12 months, 52 percent of homes that caught fire in Perth had NO smoke alarms, or the smoke alarms were not working?
When you consider that these are only the homes that caught fire, not the total number of buildings without smoke alarms, it’s pretty shocking.
Working smoke alarms are vital for saving lives and protecting property.
Most people have no idea how fast a fire can spread, believing their pet will wake them in time, or they’ll smell the smoke before it gets worse.
This is the reason Australian standards require smoke alarms using smoke sensing technology. It is the only type of alarm deemed suitable in providing early detection, way before smokes turn into flaming fires.
If you aren’t sure about your smoke alarms, or your smoke alarms are more than 10 years old, call Amp Electrical Perth today.
We would love to talk to you about smoke alarm installations, smoke alarm laws, and the types of smoke alarms that will work best for your situation.
Smoke alarms save lives, are simple to install and maintain, and are legally mandated!
Attention to all landlords and property managers in WA: You should be aware that the laws in Western Australia is clear about your responsibility when it comes to smoke alarm units.
Strict regulations and smoke alarm laws state that your property must use mains-powered smoke alarms and even interconnected smoke alarms.
You will need multiple smoke alarms complying with Australian standards, and you must have a licensed electrician install them.
With Amp Electrical Perth, you are using a fully licensed and insured professional who is qualified to install smoke alarms and replace/maintain your multiple smoke alarm systems.
While there are no laws requiring property owners to test their smoke alarms, testing and maintaining them annually is one of the ways to protect your tenants and property.
Amp Electrical Perth can install mains-powered smoke alarms, battery-powered smoke alarms, and interconnected smoke alarms. They can also perform annual testing and maintenance of smoke alarms and issue the necessary electrical safety certificate, all for a reasonable price.
Choosing between these two options will depend mainly on the setup of the home, safety concerns, and compliance.
Western Australian standards demand that all rental properties use interconnected smoke alarms (when installing more than one alarm), which must be the required smoke alarms (either mains-powered or lithium battery-powered).
Our favorite smoke alarms are those that are hard-wired but have a lithium battery backup system. Even if the power goes out, the device will still work by sending out smoke alarm sounds to warn you, and your family and home are protected.

A: All smoke alarms must meet AS-3786, which clearly defines the performance, design, replacement times, and testing requirements for all smoke alarms. This regulation also requires that the alarms must be permanently connected to the mains power supply and separate from the power source for the home security system. If you aren’t sure exactly what AS-3786 entails, call Amp Electrical Perth.
A: Maybe. A private homeowner can install lithium battery-powered smoke alarms with a 10-year life expectancy. However, if you are a landlord, commercial business, or a property manager, you must use a licensed electrician to install mains-powered alarms. You will need multiple alarms, and the electrician must file an electrical safety certificate. Don’t risk everything! Call Amp Electrical Perth for a free quote today!

A: As the name implies, photoelectric smoke alarms use light sensors to identify tiny smoke particles. Photoelectric alarms are the best at detecting smouldering fires. Ionisation smoke alarms use a very small amount of radioactive materials to sense smoke, which makes this type of smoke alarm excellent for fast-starting flames, often before there is any real smoke. If you aren’t sure which type of smoke alarm would be best for your building, call the experts at Amp Electrical Perth. We never charge a call-out fee, and we offer free inspections.
