SMOKE DETECTOR INSTALLATION
In accordance with NSW legislation, it is mandatory that all residential properties have at least one working smoke alarm installed on each level of their home. Furthermore, for commercial businesses, building fire safety regulations have been created which stipulate the use of fire safety and smoke detector installation in order to comply with Workplace Health and Safety guidelines. As a result, it is imperative that residential and commercial properties have optimal working smoke detectors installed.
At Alan Oxford’s Plumbing & Electrical, our team is able to assist with hard wired smoke detector installations, repairing or replacing batteries in current smoke alarms, and providing advice in relation to legislative compliance to ensure the highest quality and protection for your home or business.
Types Of Smoke Alarms
Photoelectric Smoke Alarms: These alarms detect smoke by using a light beam that, when disrupted, triggers the alarm. They are particularly good at detecting slow, smoldering fires, making them ideal for areas with a lot of upholstered furniture, such as bedrooms and living rooms.
Ionisation Smoke Alarms: Ionisation alarms detect smoke by ionising the air inside the alarm, creating a small electrical current. When smoke enters the chamber, it disrupts the current and triggers the alarm. They are good at detecting fast, flaming fires, making them ideal for kitchens and garages.
Dual-Sensor Smoke Alarms: Combining the detection methods of both photoelectric and ionisation alarms, dual-sensor smoke alarms are more effective at detecting a wide range of fires. They are ideal for hallways, stairwells, and other areas where fires can start in a variety of ways.
Interconnected Smoke Alarms: These alarms are connected wirelessly, so when one alarm is triggered, all of the alarms in your home will sound an alarm. They are ideal for larger homes or homes with multiple levels, ensuring that everyone in the house can hear the alarm no matter where they are.
Hardwired Smoke Alarms: Hardwired alarms are connected directly to your home's electrical system, ensuring that they have a constant power source. They are generally more reliable than battery-operated alarms, but they can be more difficult to install.
