What is a Smoke Alarm?

Smoke alarms are required in every home in Australia by law to protect occupants from death or injury due to smoke inhalation or catastrophic fire, but there are so many things to consider, it’s no wonder the subject is so confusing.

Basically, two types of smoke alarms are commonly available, being Photoelectric and Ionisation alarms, other special purpose alarms are also sometimes used such as carbon monoxide alarms where gas combustion or an open hearth fire might introduce harmful fumes to the living space.

The main difference between Photoelectric and Ionisation alarms is that Photoelectric alarms can sense smoke from a smouldering fire, enabling early arousal of occupants and allow time to control the fire or escape if necessary, but they are poorly equipped to sense a well-established, flaming fire.

Ionisation alarms by contrast can identify the presence of a flaming fire effectively but they are less able to provide early warning of a smouldering fire or impending breathing or visibility difficulties caused by heavy smoke. Some alarms combine both types of sensing, however, ionisation sensors can be triggered by vapours produced by cooking or by steam so their location should be suitably distanced from the bathroom or kitchen or other location where food is cooked.

Other types of smoke alarms might include heat sensing alarms, particularly suitable to fires in the kitchen where cooking oil might catch fire or from other inadvertent ignition sources, however, fires of this origin are more likely to be noticed immediately ignition takes place and easier to control.

How can we help with your Smoke Alarm?

Smoke alarms are usually quite inexpensive and readily available from many outlets. The least expensive types require regular battery replacement, usually once every year, but all smoke alarms require attention of this frequency to keep them clean and insect free.

Some smoke alarms are provided with lithium long life batteries, lasting around 10 years, however, it is recommended to replace smoke alarms after this period of time so battery replacement is not an option.

Other smoke alarms may be wired in, therefore only requiring testing of the sensor and cleaning every year. In multiple alarm installations, they can all be configured to emit a warning sound when any of the alarms in the circuit are triggered. Some also have marker lights to guide occupants to safety where visibility is impaired due to heavy smoke.

Alliance Climate Control can complete installation of any selected smoke alarms, particularly those “wired-in” systems interconnected for additional safety. Accordingly, we will:

I have to say I had the best experience with alliance. From Goran with the initial inspection and advice, Zac supporting along the way, Luke and the boys with the install and finally Giannis with the final repairs and tidy up. Absolutely brilliant.... I couldn't have asked for a better experience and highly recommend. Thank you all.read more
Jamie Lee did a fantastic job as always he is a credit to your organisation you are lucky to have him kind regards Nick Birt
Liam came to do a service on a system previously installed by Alliance. Liam was polite and professional. A credit to the business.Thankyou.
Our airconditioner had stopped working. I contacted Alliance and the first available appointment was a week out. The booker offered to make our's a priority call and if any cancellations occurred to move our service up. I was very pleasantly... surprised that mechanism worked and we got an appointment 2 days earlier. Also turned out to be one of the hottest days of this summer. Our system has a MyAir system in front of a Daikin ducted system and we suspected the MyAir control tablet as the root cause of the failure. Hamioc from Alliance checked out the Daikin system and gave it the all clear. I expected him to stop at that point. Instead he went the extra mile and suggested he could temporarily cable in the Daikin Controller screen as a workaround until our MyAir controller system could be replaced. This all worked and to our great pleasure our aircon is up and running on this very hot day. Hamioc and Alliance provided an excellent service.read more

How to maintain your smoke alarms

Once your smoke alarms are installed, it’s an easy matter to simply forget them but you need to make sure they are ready to protect you and your family if a fire does happen while you are asleep. Consequently, no matter which type you select to install, it’s important to not only replace the battery every year, if applicable, but also to test its function every 3 months or as often as you please.

Perhaps you have installed the type where a torch beam will be enough to test the alarm, maybe the smoke alarm is accessible enough to reach with a broom handle or extension arm. However, for annual inspection and maintenance, the smoke alarm should be opened and cleaned to remove any dust or insects that might have built up.

Alliance Climate Control technicians would be pleased to provide this service for you to keep your smoke alarms in a good condition and also to ensure your family and your home are always well protected.
