Smoke Alarm Frequently Asked Questions

If you have an alarm going off at random times for no apparent reason, first check to make sure there isn’t steam or high humidity of any sort near any of the alarms in your house. Did someone just take a shower? Did you cook some food that generated a lot of steam? Are you burning incense?

If you can’t determine any reason why your alarm(s) are going off randomly it is potentially a sign that the smoke alarm system installed in your home or business isn’t the highest quality. It’s possible the alarm is being tripped by a slight surge some energy companies use to turn on off-peak systems. We can do an analysis to determine the cause, but it’s likely you have a sub-par smoke alarm installation on your hands. Our smoke alarm systems will not do this – we guarantee it!

In any case – do NOT disconnect your smoke alarm system. Instead, get in touch with a smoke alarm installation expert as soon as possible.

Smoke alarm systems are connected to the power in your home. They each have a battery installed to ensure the alarm works if the power goes out.

If you hear a short, loud beep (or chirp) coming from one or more of your smoke alarms it most likely means the battery is low and needs to be changed. If you change the battery in the noisy alarm it could be one of the following issues:

  • The battery may be loose
  • The battery pull tab wasn’t removed after installation
  • The alarm may be too close to a bathroom or the kitchen which can emit steam and water vapor
  • The smoke alarm needs to be reset – new alarms are complex little computers these days and it’s possible the processor has accumulated a series of errors that need to be cleared
  • Drastic temperature changes
  • The alarm may be faulty and might need to be replaced

You should only install high-quality batteries in your smoke alarm system. Quality batteries still need to be replaced every 12 months to ensure your home or property are safe.

Some smoke alarms use lithium batteries which are built into the unit and cannot be replaced.

Smoke alarms must be replaced every 10 years by law.

The green light means that your smoke alarm is properly connected to the power in your home. If you don’t see the green light on any of your smoke alarms it means the power has been interrupted and it is running solely on battery power. Check your circuit breaker first to make sure a circuit hasn’t been tripped. If all is well in the circuit breaker you’ll need to get in touch with a professional electrician who can inspect and fix the issue.

A photoelectric alarm is able to scan for and detect particles generated by combustion. They are very effective at detecting smouldering fires.

You shouldn’t install a smoke alarm system yourself – always get a professional to take care of this task for you.

A professional smoke alarm installer will make sure of the following:

  • Smoke alarms aren’t installed near windows (drafty air can cause issues with smoke alarms)
  • Smoke alarms aren’t installed in ‘dead air’ spaces where smoke can’t reach the alarm
  • Smoke alarms should be installed between 50 – 150cm from the highest point in your property
  • Smoke alarms must be installed outside each bedroom
  • If the home has multiple floors, smoke alarms must be on each floor
