Same Day Smoke Detector Installation
Fast moving and dangerous fires can strike at any time and start anywhere in the home. Without appropriate warning you might not notice until it's too late.
When you call the team at Upside Down you can have a licensed electrician at your house on the same day*.
Smoke alarms are required by law in all Australian homes as the first line of defence to alert you, your neighbours, or even the fire department (or local emergency services) in the event of a house fire.
Regulations around smoke alarm installation are mostly uniform across Australia, however the guidelines may vary slightly by state. At a minimum, smoke alarm legislation in every state requires every property to have at least one smoke alarm. Some states will require one alarm per floor, or even one alarm for every individual room of a house.
If you're unsure about your obligations, don't worry because we've got you covered. Every electrician at Upside Down is required to maintain an up to date working knowledge of the smoke alarm regulations and is qualified to perform a thorough check to ensure your house is appropriately fit out to comply with local building regulations.

Smoke Detector Replacement
Smoke alarm laws around the country require homes to have a minimum of one or more working smoke alarms installed.
It's also required that smoke alarms must be up to date and in working order, with a wired connection to the mains power.
That's right, it's important to consider not only the placement of the smoke alarm itself but also the power source, whether it's part of an interconnected system, and how old the system is.
If taken care of, smoke alarms can last for 10 years after which time they will need to be replaced. However, as new smoke alarm legislation has been updated to improve the safety of homes, you may find that your lone, old, battery-powered smoke alarm just doesn't cut it anymore.
Whether your smoke alarms aren't working as well as they should, or you simply want your old system replaced with a new smoke alarms peace of mind, then call Upside Down today.
We can replace your ionisation smoke alarms with interconnected photoelectric smoke alarms, or have your old battery-operated detectors replaced with a wired network of interconnected alarms to protect you and loved ones in a worst-case scenario.
