Where Should Smoke Alarms Be Installed in Your Brisbane House?

All alarms need to be certain distances from walls, A/C outlets, ceiling fans and lights. All Bedrooms require an interconnected alarm, every level of a home needs at least one alarm and within certain distances of bedrooms alarms need to be installed. Please give us a call to check your floor plan and advise on number of alarms required to be compliant and safe.
What Type of Smoke Alarm Is In My Home?
It should be clearly stated on each smoke detectors label whether it is ionisation or photoelectric smoke alarm. However, if it is not clearly stated, you will see a bright yellow ‘radiation’ symbol inside or on the back of an ionisation alarm.
If you see this symbol, then it’s a good sign that you should have a smoke alarm inspection and also check that all your bedrooms and living spaces have a detector in place. If you are looking for a smoke alarm installation electrician , give us a Call at Sorted Electrical.

Why use photoelectric smoke alarms?

What are the benefits of installing a connected smoke alarm?
Interconnected alarms are safer and are required under new legislation.
Interconnected smoke alarms are safer than standalone smoke alarms, because they let you know about a fire/smoke faster. Even if you’re in the house, you may not be close to the area where the fire started. If you’re in the basement, you may not hear an alarm in the bedroom. If a fire starts in a bedroom that does not have an alarm, it could take several minutes for the smoke to reach the next closest alarm. By then it could be too late. If an interconnected alarm was in the bedroom, it would alert straight away and trigger the other alarms in the house. This is why having interconnected smoke alarms in bedrooms is so important.
