Smoke alarm installation in Canberra

Smoke alarms have a service life and wiring doesn't last forever. We install and replace hardwired, interconnected alarms and carry out safety inspections on homes, rentals and properties changing hands.

Common reasons people call

  • Alarms past their expiry date or chirping
  • Battery-only alarms you'd like hardwired
  • Alarms that don't all sound together
  • Buying an older home and unsure about the wiring

What the job covers

  • Hardwired 240V smoke alarm installation and replacement
  • Interconnected alarms so they all sound together
  • Whole-of-house electrical safety inspections
  • Safety switch testing
  • A written summary of what was found and what needs doing

What affects the price

Every job is quoted on what's actually involved. The main things that change it:

  • Number of alarms and whether new cabling is needed
  • Wireless versus hardwired interconnection
  • Size and age of the home for inspections

What to expect

  1. 1You call or send a quote request with a short description and, ideally, a photo.
  2. 2Mick tells you what's likely involved and whether it needs a look on site first.
  3. 3We book a time, the work is done and tested, and you're shown what was done.
