What Homeowners In Perth Need to Know

Why Smoke Alarms Are Essential in Every Home

Smoke alarms are one of the most important safety devices in any household. Early detection saves lives. Whether you're asleep or away from home, a functioning smoke alarm gives your family the time to act and escape safely in the event of a fire.

WA Sparkies provides certified smoke alarm installation and servicing across Perth’s southern suburbs, ensuring your home meets legal safety standards.

Smoke Alarm Laws in WA

In Western Australia, regulations require working smoke alarms to be installed in all residential properties. These must:

• Be hard-wired to the main power supply

• Include a backup battery

• Be located in compliance with AS 3786

• Be replaced every 10 years from the manufacture date

Failing to comply with these rules can result in penalties, especially during the sale or lease of a property.

When Should Smoke Alarms Be Replaced or Serviced?

Even if your smoke alarm looks fine, it may not work correctly after 10 years. Internal sensors degrade over time. For this reason:

• New alarms must be replaced after 10 years from the date of manufacture

• Regular testing is recommended every 6 months

• Batteries should be checked annually

WA Sparkies offers hassle-free servicing and replacements, giving you peace of mind that your system is reliable when it matters most.

Where Should Smoke Alarms Be Installed?

Smoke alarms should be installed:

• On each level of your home

• Outside sleeping areas (e.g., hallways)

• Inside bedrooms for maximum protection

Our licensed electricians ensure correct placement and professional wiring in line with current WA safety regulations.
