Smoke alarm installation done right, and done to code

Moving into a place with old alarms, setting up a rental, or just not sure the alarms in your ceiling actually work? Booking smoke alarm installation in Melbourne with us means a licensed electrician checks your home, fits the right alarms in the right spots, and tests every unit before leaving. Old or missing alarms are one of the most common safety problems we find in Melbourne homes, and one of the easiest to put right.

You’ll get photoelectric alarms that meet Australian Standard AS 3786, fitted where the rules require: outside sleeping areas, in hallways that connect bedrooms, and on every level of the home. We fit both hardwired and battery-powered units, and we can interconnect them so that when one sounds, they all sound. Battery-only alarms suit some homes, but many Melbourne properties now need hardwired, interconnected units. If you’re not sure which applies to your place, we’ll tell you plainly before any work starts.

Whether you own the home, rent it out or manage it, we can sort the alarms for the whole property in one visit. If your existing alarms are old or chirping, Smoke Alarm Replacement may be all you need, and for annual landlord checks see Smoke Alarm Testing & Compliance. Every electrician who turns up is licensed and insured, we’re rated 5.0 on Google across 600+ reviews, and the work is backed by our lifetime workmanship guarantee.

Hardwired, interconnected and tested on the day

When one alarm detects smoke, every alarm in your home should wake you. We install hardwired units with battery backup and interconnect them so a single detection wakes the whole house. That matters at night, when a fire in the garage or living room needs to wake people sleeping at the other end of the home. Before we pack up, we test every unit, walk you through how it works, and make sure the system is doing its job. We also label and date each unit, so you and any future electrician know exactly when it was installed. You leave with alarms you can trust and a tidy, finished job.

The right alarm in the right place

An alarm only buys you time if it’s in the right spot. We fit units outside every sleeping area, in connecting hallways, and on each storey, in line with current Victorian rules. We keep them clear of corners, vents and light fittings where smoke can be missed, so you get real protection, not just a tick in a box. Get the placement wrong and an alarm can take too long to react; get it right and you buy precious seconds. If your home has had a renovation or an added bedroom, we check that your coverage still meets the rules and add alarms where they are now needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

The main factors are how many alarms you need, whether they are hardwired or battery powered, and whether they need interconnecting. Two-storey homes and tight roof access can add time. You get a fixed price before any work starts, with no call-out fee: the price you approve is the price you pay. Call 1300 635 294 for a quote.
For hardwired or interconnected alarms, yes. They are wired into your mains, so by law a licensed electrician must do the work. We are fully licensed and insured, so your install is safe, compliant and signed off properly.
We check your home, recommend the right number and type of alarms, fit them in the correct locations and test every unit before we leave. For hardwired or interconnected systems we handle all the wiring. You also get a clear, upfront price before we start.
Most jobs take one to three hours, depending on how many alarms you need and whether wiring or interconnection is involved. We give you a clear time estimate after a quick look at your home, so there are no surprises.
We recommend photoelectric alarms that meet Australian Standard AS 3786, as they respond well to the smouldering fires most common in homes. Where possible we interconnect them so they all sound together. We will advise the best setup for your specific home when we visit.
