Fire Safety & Smoke Alarms

Saving lives with smoke alarms

Smoke alarms save lives and are the best protection against fire in your home or workplace. They detect the first signs of smoke, giving you time to exit the property safely and call for emergency assistance. Northern Territory legislation requires all residential properties to have a working smoke alarm within 5m of a bedroom, in corridors and hallways that lead to exits and the living area. If your home is multi-storey, you must have an additional alarm on every level. Each smoke alarm is required to be photoelectric and either 240V with battery backup or 10YR lithium battery-powered with the battery not accessible from the rear.

Florance Electrical can install smoke alarms in your home or office, with professional recommendations for location of each smoke alarm in line with legislation, as well as tips for use and maintenance.

Smoke Alarm Installation: Not Just a Legal Requirement

The laws regarding smoke alarms vary from state to state, but everyone agrees they are essential for the safety of every building and all residents and visitors. If you are the owner of a property, it is your responsibility to make sure it has the right kind of smoke alarm installation and that the alarms are in working order.

If you are a tenant, the fire and smoke alarms are not your responsibility, but you owe it to yourself, your family and visitors to make sure these invaluable pieces of safety equipment are installed and working.

Why is Fire Alarm Installation So Important?

Why should you install smoke alarm systems? Not just because it is a legal requirement, but because it makes sense, and more than that, it can save lives, which is something that can’t be dismissed with any justification. The house may be unlikely to catch fire, but you could say that about any building, and yet we see fire engines racing to blazes from time to time, and if this can happen to someone else’s property, it can happen to yours.

Modern smoke detectors are highly sensitive and provide immediate warning when smoke is detected. While occasional false alarms may occur, these moments demonstrate that your system is responsive and ready to alert you in the event of a genuine emergency. A functioning fire alarm installation gives you precious time to act, time that can make all the difference in a real fire situation.

It’s the same at home, when something you’re cooking produces a lot of smoke and sets the alarm off. You stop what’s causing this, open some windows to get rid of the smoke, and eventually, the piercing racket stops, and peace returns to your world. Again, at least you know the system works, and if whatever caused the smoke was accompanied by flames next time and everything got out of hand, your smoke detector installation could have averted disaster, giving you time to call the fire service.

Why Have Your Smoke Detector Installation Done Professionally?

Correct placement, the right type of alarm, and compliance with local regulations are all crucial for ensuring your smoke alarm system provides maximum protection. While it’s possible to purchase units from a hardware store, professional smoke detector installation ensures that your system meets Australian standards, is positioned for optimal coverage, and is properly tested before use.

At Florance Electrical, we have the expertise to assess your property, recommend the right type and number of detectors, and install them with minimal disruption. Our team ensures that your smoke alarms are reliable from day one, giving you peace of mind that your home or business is protected with comprehensive safety inspections.
