Photoelectric Smoke Alarms
Photoelectric smoke alarms are designed to detect visible smoke particles, making them particularly effective at identifying slow-burning or smouldering fires. These types of alarms are better suited to Australian homes compared to ionisation alarms and are less prone to false alarms in areas like kitchens and bathrooms.
Why Choose Photoelectric Smoke Alarms?
- Greater sensitivity to smoke
- Enhanced accuracy compared to ionisation alarms
- Reduced risk of false alarms
- Recommended by Fire & Rescue NSW
Interconnected Smoke Detection Systems
If you own a large or multi-story home, interconnected smoke alarm systems provide an additional layer of safety. These systems link all smoke detectors in your property so that when one alarm is triggered, all alarms sound simultaneously.
At Level Electrical Taree, we specialise in installing and maintaining interconnected smoke detection systems for both residential and commercial properties in Taree and the Greater Manning Valley region.
Smoke Alarm Regulations in NSW
In New South Wales, smoke alarms are regulated under the Building Regulations 2018. All homeowners are required to have functioning smoke alarms on every level of their property, particularly near sleeping areas.
Landlords have additional obligations, including ensuring smoke alarms are installed and maintained as per regulations. For alarms with replaceable batteries, the batteries must be changed at the start of each new tenancy. This also applies to short-term and holiday rental properties.
