ABOUT OUR SMOKE ALARM INSTALLATION SERVICE
Most smoke alarm jobs are either a straightforward smoke alarm replacement or a new smoke alarm installation where alarms need to be added, upgraded or interconnected properly.
We regularly help with replacing expired alarms, upgrading older hard wired smoke alarms, adding alarms during renovations, and improving coverage with interconnected smoke alarms where needed.
OUR SMOKE ALARM SERVICES
We keep this simple. Most customers need one of the following:
Smoke Alarm Installation
New smoke alarms installed in suitable locations for homes, units and renovations.
Smoke Alarm Replacement
Replacement of old, faulty, expired or chirping smoke alarms with updated compliant units.
Interconnected Smoke Alarms
Hard wired or wireless interconnection so when one alarm sounds, they all sound.
Hard Wired Alarm Upgrades
Upgrade older mains-powered smoke alarms and improve overall coverage where needed.
HARD WIRED SMOKE ALARM INSTALLATION & REPLACEMENT
Many customers searching for smoke alarm installation actually need hard wired smoke alarm replacement because the existing alarms have reached the end of their life, are chirping, false alarming, or no longer match the rest of the system properly.
We can replace older hard wired smoke alarms, check compatibility where alarms are interconnected, and explain when it makes more sense to replace multiple alarms together instead of doing one at a time.
- Replace expired or faulty hard wired smoke alarms
- Install new hard wired smoke alarms where mains power is available
- Check interconnection and compatibility when multiple alarms are involved
- Recommend practical upgrades when the existing setup is outdated
WHY INTERCONNECTED SMOKE ALARMS ARE WORTH CONSIDERING
If one alarm activates, interconnected smoke alarms make all alarms sound together. That can be a much better result in larger homes, double-storey homes, long hallways and properties where alarms were added one by one over time.
- Better whole-home warning, especially overnight
- Cleaner upgrade path when replacing multiple older alarms
- Suitable for many renovations and broader upgrade jobs
- Often a better long-term outcome than replacing a single alarm in isolation
SMOKE ALARMS FOR RENTAL PROPERTIES
We also help with smoke alarm servicing and replacement for rental properties, including replacing expired alarms, checking alarm condition and helping owners or property managers stay on top of basic smoke alarm requirements.
If needed, this can also be combined with a rental property electrical safety inspection to make the visit more useful and reduce repeat bookings.

SMOKE ALARM FAQS
How often should smoke alarms be replaced?
Many smoke alarms should be replaced around the 10-year mark depending on the model and manufacturer guidance. We can check the age of your existing alarms and advise what should be replaced.
Can you replace just one smoke alarm?
Sometimes yes, but it depends on the age of the system, whether alarms are interconnected and whether compatibility is an issue. In some homes it makes more sense to replace multiple alarms together.
Do you install hard wired smoke alarms?
Yes. We install and replace hard wired smoke alarms where suitable, including upgrade work where older mains-powered alarms need replacing.
Do you work on rental property smoke alarms?
Yes. We carry out smoke alarm replacement and related electrical safety work for rental properties across Melbourne.
