All alarms go off together when smoke is detected—perfect for multilevel or large homes.

What we do
Common Smoke Alarm Issues We Fix
Even small faults in your smoke alarm system can delay your response in an emergency. We fix:
-
Constant beeping or chirping
Often dust, battery faults or end-of-life alerts.
-
Missing or dead alarms
Creates blind spots. No detection = no warning.
-
Alarms over 10 years old
Old sensors fail even if the alarm looks fine.
-
Incorrect placement
Avoid steam and cooking triggers that lead to false alarms.
-
Battery-only systems in rentals
Now illegal in many areas—upgrade required.
-
Outdated or disconnected wiring
Broken wiring = non-functioning system.
-
No alarms in bedrooms
Required by law in most NSW homes.
-
Alarms that won’t test/reset
Means the unit’s internal components are compromised.
If yours is chirping right now, our guide to why your smoke alarm keeps beeping covers the quick checks.
