A smoke detector or smoke alarm are devices that use ionization sensors to detect smoke in the air. They are typically installed in the ceiling and are the best method for warning about unnoticed fire inside a building. Smoke detectors are a crucial part of any residential home or commercial building.

Not only do they alert people to smoke in the air, but they are a legal requirement. And for good reason, there is a multitude of data that shows the importance of smoke detectors. As local Geelong electricians, we are often questioned how many smoke detection systems should be in a home.

The simple answer is, it depends, there are guidelines on the CFA website you can find here:

An advantage that people are unaware of is having a hard wired smoke alarm. You don’t need to have a 9 volt battery detector, we can hard wire the alarms directly to your home power. This saves on regular testing just to make sure that the battery is still operational.

​ This option is becoming standard for new home builds for obvious reasons. But for those who don’t have a hard wired smoke alarm, we are happy to help install hard wired smoke alarms for you. We will provide you with professional guidance for where and how many smoke alarms you should have. We provide this service for both residents and businesses throughout Geelong.
