What gets checked

Pressing the test button only tells you the battery works. A proper check confirms the alarm itself still performs, that it is the right type, in the right place, and not past its service life.

Smoke alarms have a service life and must be replaced once they reach it, even if they still sound when tested. Age is checked at every visit.

What you get back

A written report emailed the same day, listing every alarm, where it is, what was done to it and whether the property is compliant. Ready to file against the property.

Common questions

How often do smoke alarms need checking?

Every twelve months. Every alarm has to be tested, and any that are faulty or past their expiry date have to be replaced. Alarms also have to be the right type and in the right locations.

Do you replace alarms during the visit?

Yes. Faulty or expired alarms are replaced on the spot wherever possible, so the property isn't left non-compliant waiting on a second visit.

Why does the age of an alarm matter?

Smoke alarms lose sensitivity over time and have a limited service life. An alarm past that date has to be replaced even if it still sounds when the button is pressed.

Can it be done with the electrical check?

Yes, and it is cheaper. Both checks in one visit is $289 inc GST, and it means one entry for the renter instead of two.
