That chirp in the hallway at 2am, or a date stamp you have never checked: if your smoke alarms are around ten years old, the sensors can no longer be trusted, even if the test button still beeps. Smoke alarm replacement in Melbourne is a quick job that puts working protection back in your ceiling. If yours are past their date, or you simply do not know how old they are, it is time.
Most replacements are also an upgrade for your home. Old ionisation units get swapped for photoelectric alarms, which respond better to the slow, smouldering fires most common in homes, and where it makes sense we interconnect the new alarms so that when one sounds, they all do. Every alarm has a use-by date stamped on it, usually about ten years from manufacture, and replacing early is cheap insurance.
If your alarm is chirping every minute, that is usually a flat battery or a unit at the end of its life, and we can often tell you which over the phone. If you are fitting alarms where there were none, see Smoke Alarm Installation, and for annual landlord checks see Smoke Alarm Testing & Compliance. If you manage a rental, swapping dead or expired alarms keeps the property compliant and your tenants safe. We are licensed and insured, rated 5.0 on Google across 600+ reviews, and every job is backed by our lifetime workmanship guarantee.
Replacing a hardwired alarm means working on your mains wiring, so it has to be done by a licensed electrician. We match the new unit to your wiring, sort out the base plate and interconnection, and make sure everything is compatible. If your old alarms used a different base or wiring layout, we adapt the new ones to suit so you are not left with gaps in coverage. We test the interconnection too, so a detection in one room still triggers every other alarm in the home. Before we leave we test every alarm, so you know the whole system works, not just one unit.
The use-by date on your alarms matters more than the test button. Once it passes, the sensor cannot be relied on, even if the unit still beeps when tested. We check the date on each alarm, tell you which ones are due, and replace them with current photoelectric units. Different rooms can need different alarms, and we make sure each replacement suits where it is going, from bedrooms to hallways to living areas. If your home still has old ionisation units, this is the right time to upgrade them. We also note the date on the new units, so you and any future electrician can see at a glance when they are next due.
