Many of us might not know that a handful of our primary senses like smell are subdued the moment we go to sleep. Within 2-3 minutes, a small flame can grow to fill an entire room. Nothing can substitute safety, so our licenced electrician recommend you to get professionally fitted smoke detectors at your residence immediately.
Local Electrician is a team of professionals who are skilled and certified and have years of experience and expertise in the industry. We are good at installing smoke detectors across residential, industrial, and commercial properties. We deliver prompt and professional electrical services anytime you need them.
Safety is our top priority and it is imperative to ensure that your smoke alarms are up to date with the rules and regulations. We offer professional smoke detector fitting and electrical safety inspection to ensure that your family and home are safe.
Here are the two types of smoke detectors widely used in Melbourne:
Photoelectric Smoke Alarms: These are the latest technology smoke alarms that use the reflection of light to identify the entry of smoke particles into the alarm chamber. Recommended by both the Melbourne Fire Brigade (MFB) and The CFA, photoelectric alarms are effective in identifying slow-burning, smouldering and smoky fires that fire off most houses.
Ionisation Smoke Alarms: These are the most common type of smoke alarms used in Victoria as they have been around way longer than the photoelectric model. Ionisation models can detect fast-flaming and clean-burning smoke caused by kitchen oil fires. But they are less likely to detect slow-burning smoke in its earlier stage.
Spread the smoke alarm throughout the space as you want everyone in the house to hear it when it gets activated. Place smoke alarms on every floor if you have a multi-storey building. Link all your smoke alarms so that everything gets triggered when one smoke alarm gets activated. This will ensure that everyone in the house hears the alarm and takes immediate action. The alarm should be installed on the ceiling at least 30cm from the wall.

Victorian legislation states that houses should have 240-volt mains-powered hardwired smoke alarms with a backup battery.
When there is beeping without smoke, you should clean your device or change the alarm battery.
