Photoelectric Smoke Alarms
Unlike ionisation smoke alarms, photoelectric smoke alarms detect visible particles of combustion, making them more effective at detecting smouldering fires and burning materials commonly found in Australian homes. Since photoelectric alarms "see" smoke, they are also less likely to trigger false alarms, especially in areas like kitchens and bathrooms where ionisation alarms may be prone to malfunction.
Advantages of Photoelectric Smoke Detectors:
- Greater sensitivity to smoke
- More accurate than ionisation smoke alarms
- Less prone to malfunction
- Recommended by Fire & Rescue NSW
Interconnected Smoke Detection Systems
For larger homes or multi-story properties, interconnected smoke alarm systems are highly recommended. These systems ensure that all smoke alarms in your home are connected, so if one alarm is triggered, all alarms will sound, providing an added layer of safety.
At Level Electrical Port Macquarie, we specialise in the installation and testing of interconnected smoke detection systems for both residential and commercial properties throughout the Port Macquarie area.
Smoke Alarm Regulations in NSW - check and update this section for NSW
In New South Wales, smoke alarm regulations are part of the Building Regulations 2018. Homeowners are required to install a working smoke alarm on each level of their home, particularly in areas where people sleep.
If you are a landlord, you must ensure that smoke alarms are installed according to regulations and maintained to the required standards. For smoke alarms with replaceable batteries, it is mandatory to replace the battery at the start of each new tenancy. This also applies to homeowners renting out their properties as short-term or holiday rentals.
