Keep your Home Safe with hard-wired smoke alarms
Smoke alarms save lives, and Western Australia aims to keep your family safe with good regulations, ensuring smoke alarms are optimally placed and in working order.
When you choose to sell or rent your residential property, smoke alarms need to be hard-wired when feasible and meet other building regulations. Mains powered, or hard-wired smoke alarms need to be installed by a licensed electrician, such as Sarros Electrical.
Our experience in installing compliant smoke detection systems throughout residential and commercial properties means getting your smoke alarms installed by Sarros Electrical the best choice!

What’s better? Hard-wired or battery smoke alarms?
WA’s smoke alarm laws
Since 1997 in WA, it’s mandatory for all new residential buildings and extensions to have hard-wired smoke alarms. In 2009, this law extended to included all existing residential buildings.
Your residential property must be compliant before selling your home or leasing it out.
Smoke alarms must not exceed 10 years in age and must comply with Australian Standard AS 3786.
Benefits of hard-wired smoke alarms
Hard-wired smoke alarms don’t rely on you changing the battery every year (or checking it if it’s a non-replaceable battery). Hard-wired smoke alarms still have a battery backup.
In most cases, you need a hard-wired smoke alarm system to be compliant with fire safety laws.
Hard-wired smoke alarms are often interconnected, meaning that if one alarm detects smoke, all the alarms trigger – not so fun when you burn the toast, but great if there’s a 3 AM emergency!
Where battery smoke alarms can be used
Nowadays. battery powered smoke alarms must have a 10-year life, non-removable battery.
The use of battery powered smoke alarms are permitted where:
- Mains power is not connected to the residential building.
- If there is no hidden space to run the wiring, such as if the ceiling is concrete.
- Local government needs to approve other uses of battery operated smoke alarms.
If part of your residential building meets the above criteria, such as a concrete ceiling for the bottom storey, you must still install hard-wired smoke alarms elsewhere where possible.
Smoke alarms for hearing and visually impaired persons
We also install smoke detection systems for people with a disability.
These smoke alarms can use strobe lights, vibrating pads, or bed shaking pads. These can be synchronised with the usual, audible smoke alarms.

Why smoke alarms are important
Most house fires begin during the night, often while we’re asleep! Our senses during the night are suppressed, some (particularly smell) more than others, meaning we are less likely to wake up to the early warning of the smell of fire. However, we remain relatively vigilant to sounds whilst sleeping, meaning we are more likely to wake up at the sound of an alarm.
An installed smoke alarm or smoke detection system dramatically reduces the chances of a house fire becoming fatal – smoke alarms have often been the difference between life and death! Their fast detection of smoke and loud alarm buys you time to make your escape.
At times, smoke alarms have even saved the house! Early awareness of a fire often results in containing the blaze before it spreads out of control (we don’t recommend staying to fight a fire beyond your control).
