Smoke alarms
Smoke alarms installed by licensed electricians
Every NSW home must have at least one working smoke alarm on every level of the home. Hard-wired alarms run off your mains power with a battery backup, and only a licensed electrician can install, repair or replace them.
We install new alarms, replace expired ones and link them together so one sounding sets off the rest. For landlords and property managers we check alarms, replace them before they reach 10 years and keep the paperwork you need.

Fire and Rescue NSW says an average of 21 people die in residential fires in NSW each year, and a third to a half of those deaths may have been prevented by working alarms and an escape plan.
Linking alarms gives earlier warning
Recommended
by Fire and Rescue NSW
Fire and Rescue NSW recommends interconnected alarms for a higher level of protection, so every alarm sounds when one detects smoke.

How many smoke alarms does my home need?
NSW law requires at least one working smoke alarm on every level of a home. Fire and Rescue NSW recommends a higher level of protection, such as interconnected alarms. We'll tell you what your home needs.
Do I need hard-wired smoke alarms?
Not always. NSW law requires a working smoke alarm on every level of the home, and many existing homes use battery alarms. Hard-wired alarms run off your mains power with a battery backup, so they keep working if the backup battery runs flat, and they can be interconnected so one sets off the rest. Only a licensed electrician can install them. In a rental, a hard-wired alarm must be repaired or replaced by a licensed electrician.
Do I need interconnected smoke alarms?
Fire and Rescue NSW recommends interconnected alarms for a higher level of protection: when one alarm detects smoke, they all sound. We can link new and existing hard-wired alarms.
How often should smoke alarms be replaced?
Within 10 years of the date of manufacture, or earlier if the manufacturer says so. The date is printed on the alarm.
What are a landlord's smoke alarm obligations in NSW?
NSW landlords must check alarms every year, replace them within 10 years of manufacture, repair or replace a faulty alarm within two business days, and use a licensed electrician for hard-wired alarms. They can't hand that responsibility to the tenant.
Do you work with property managers?
Yes. We work directly with agents and strata managers, arrange access with tenants and send the paperwork through.
How much will it cost?
Quotes are free, and our work is fixed price. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so the price you agree to is the price you pay. There are no hidden fees.
Are your electricians licensed and insured?
Yes. Dann's Electrical holds NSW electrical contractor licence 399632C and carries $20 million public liability insurance. We're CM3 certified and NECA members.
