About this service

Smoke Detectors

NSW residential properties need hard-wired photoelectric smoke alarms, and on any renovation, sale or rental property, the requirements get stricter. We install and upgrade smoke alarm systems across the Central Coast: interconnected alarms so one trigger wakes the whole house, photoelectric sensors that respond to smouldering fires faster than the old ionisation type, and 10-year lithium backup so the unit keeps working in a power outage.

  • Hard-wired interconnected photoelectric smoke alarms
  • 10-year lithium backup battery models
  • Combination smoke + CO (carbon monoxide) alarms
  • Wireless interconnection where running cable isn't practical (renos, retrofits)
  • Compliance audits for landlords and sales

Around Noraville, Toukley, Budgewoi or anywhere on the northern Central Coast and need smoke detectors? We are minutes from most of the lakeside suburbs, give us a call and we'll get you sorted.

Smoke Detectors FAQs

Common questions from Central Coast customers about smoke detectors.

How many smoke alarms do I need?
NSW requires one on every storey, in every hallway leading to bedrooms, and (since recent updates) in every bedroom. A typical 3-bedroom single-storey home needs at least 4–5 interconnected alarms.
Hard-wired or battery only?
Hard-wired with 10-year lithium backup is the standard. Battery-only is allowed in existing houses where hard-wiring isn't possible, but for any renovation or new install it's hard-wired.
Do you do compliance reports for landlords?
Yes. Install, test and provide a compliance statement that meets NSW tenancy requirements. Many landlords have this done annually.
What about combination smoke + CO alarms?
Useful if you have gas appliances, an attached garage, or burn solid fuel. We'll recommend whether they're worth it based on your setup.
