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.
Smoke Alarm Installation Guide
In addition to the minimum requirement of one smoke alarm per level, Fire & Rescue NSW research recommends installing smoke alarms in all bedrooms and living spaces (including hallways and stairways) and even the garage.
Avoid fitting smoke alarms in or near your kitchen or bathroom.
The ideal position is on the ceiling between sleeping and living areas.

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:
- Recommend the most suitable type and location of smoke alarms to protect you and your family
Install your preferred smoke alarm whether that be a photoelectric or ionising type, regularly maintained, longlife battery or wired in smoke alarm systems.
- We can even visit annually to inspect and maintain your smoke alarm systems, ensuring your home complies with government legislation and making sure all occupants are completely safe always.
- We can also include replacement of any longlife battery models after 10 years’ service, so you don’t have to commit an installation date to memory and set up a replacement appointment. We can do that for you and let you know a couple of weeks in advance when replacement is due.
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.

I rang Alliance in December to book a service for our bedroom air conditioners which had stopped suddenly. They were able to fit me in immediately and a call was booked for the next day. Alex the service man came and efficiently assessed the situation and explained what needed replacing. He talked me through the process and cost. The office then ordered and liaised with me for the next appointment to repair. Alex returned today with Jamie where they efficiently replaced the motor of the system , checked the running and cleaned filters of other systems. Both serviceman were extremely polite and clean/tidy in their work practices. Another impressive feature to their service is they ring you 20 minutes before arriving, something a lot of tradesman could learn from! I highly recommend Alliance for their cost effective, friendly and highly efficient service.

Everything was very painless, installation was quick and the communication between both parties was great. Each process was well followed. We are now in the process of testing and seeing how our ducted system operates. The team that came to install the air conditioning system was also excellent, very friendly and willing to answer questions, they also arrived in a timely manner. The service was really good. I'm quite happy recommending this company to anyone looking to install any air conditioning unit into home or business. As for pricing you get what you pay for, so keep that in mind, they will evaluate your situation and wants, before processing a quote. Thank you very much, the system we have is excellent throughout the hot days!

The team at Alliance, especially Goran, were exceptionally professional and service-orientated. It took me almost 10 months to get approval to install air conditioning in my apartment and Alliance were extremely helpful in providing me the information I needed to support my Tribunal application and thereafter development application through City of Sydney. Every question I had was responded to promptly and I was more than excited to hand the job over to Alliance once the approvals were sought. The team installed the unit with no fuss, and were very detailed-orientated and made sure the apartment was left in the same condition it was when they arrived. Highly recommend Alliance. Great work ethic, knowledgeable and trustworthy. The service you receive from the office was also friendly and customer-focused. Thanks Goran and the team.

Alliance Climate Control were great to deal with. A really thorough assessment ahead of a detailed quote. They weren't the cheapest but but I was impressed with their approach. Good communication around scheduling process. When the installation team arrived they made a useful suggestion about where to place the external units. The work was done efficiently and with minimum interruption to us. Good clean up at the end. And the units are great!! Effective and so quiet you just don't hear them. Highly recommend.

I cannot praise Alliance Climate Control highly enough . It is definitely one of the best companies I have dealt with in a long time. I give it 5 stars for admin, professionalism , punctuality, helpfulness , neatness ... It was a pleasure to deal with them from start to finish. They even called me back on a Saturday afternoon when I could not operate the air conditioner (no fault of theirs) - they talked me through it and it worked within minutes . I would not hesitate to recommend them

To my surprise, 5 staff members turned up to install 2 indoor and 2 outdoor units. They were very good in their work, communicated well and very neat & tidy. They kept me inform all the way and ask questions on the position of the units and drainage. The final presentation was very professional inside and out. Thank You

Can't speak highly enough of the Alliance team. I had delayed the air con install a number of times, due to strata approval muck around, and nothing was ever an issue, super responsive, helpful and then finally the job completion was a breeze, very polite, courteous tradesmen, entertained my young kids and the job was meticulous. Would highly recommend using these guys.

Not only were they very professional and reliable, the work was managed in a timely manner and the technicians were very helpful and knowledgeable. Upon completion, I received a follow up phone from Kristian who went above and beyond in maintaining customer loyalty. I will definitely use Alliance Climate Control in the future and definitely recommend them.

Excellent installation by the fabulous team at Alliance. It started with Goran coming for an assessment and very competitive quote. Team came in and did a fantastic job and consulted me every step of the way as vent placement was tricky in a hertitage house. Very pleased with the outcome and an exceptionally tidy job. Now sitting here in a very warm house.Thank you!

My husband and I had selected three installers to visit our place for quotes, based on high reviews. Goran stood out from the other with his attention to detail, competitive pricing, ease of professionalism and lack of pushy salesmanship. His team did a great job installing our three units over two levels. They kept up a helpful level of communication with me throughout the installation, they were friendly, punctual, tidy, respectful to my place and belongings and were professional from start to finish. We are so impressed with the entire experience. We will have no hesitation in using their services again, and recommending them to our family and friends.

I simply chose Alliance Climate Control because of their positive reviews. After consultation with Goran I was please to proceed with a competitive quote, and from start to completion of the installation of the new split system along with a new switchboard upgrade with technician Jon who couldn't have been more helpful with his time and knowledge and along with the whole team of 5 were polite and cleaned up after a professional job well done. My whole experience with Alliance with the administration staff to technicians and Michael have been friendly very pleased and happy with the service received and the end result. Thank you.I would highly recommend Alliance Climate Control based on the service I received.

We just had technician Jon out to look at our split system air conditioner. He couldn't have been more helpful and generous with his time and knowledge. I would highly recommend Alliance Climate Control based on the service we received from Jon.

Our whole experience with Alliance has been efficient, positive, and easy - quality in home advice, a competitive quote, quick response from the accounts department, transparent invoices and payment by installments. The installation turned out to be hard work for the technicians due to a double thickness gyprock roof but they kept on it until the job was done. They seemed to have plenty of experience and the right equipment for working on installations at height (the property is a townhouse), no problems with providing information to help us gain Strata approval, and during installation they were thoughtful and respectful of our neighbors. We are 100% happy. Penny and Lance - Harris Park

Highly recommend Michael and his team. We’ve had him install a whole house ducted system; 2 multi headed units in a 2 storey semi; and a single split system in a strata unit. Every job has been executed to perfection. Beginning with the initial consultation through to completion, we experienced professionalism and expediency. Clean, tidy, efficient installations; good choice of brands and placement of units. We’re really pleased.

The service from Alliance was outstanding. After consultation with Alex, it was agreed that a new unit would need to be installed. The installation team encountered an unforeseen problem and this was resolved after positive action by management.The level of commitment by all members of the team was truly extraordinary. The installation was completed with competence and remarkable goodwill. I highly recommend Alliance and acknowledge the professionalism and courtesy of all those involved.

We had technician Jon come in to service and do a minor repair on out A/C's today, 2/2/18.Jon was pleasant to deal with and did a good job. He was straight forward with our issues and our options to fix our A/C problems and completed his work in a timely and efficient manner. The quote for the service was also competitive.We highly recommended Alliance Climate Control and technician Jon for your A/C services and repairs.

The team from Alliance Climate Control were extremely professional, efficient and helpful. When other companies who inspected our aircon unit said we needed to spend $4,000 to replace, ACC looked further and found it was just a few parts that needed replaced. We are thrilled with this outcome and the great service!

Good service from the office and the service call was timely. The technician Alex, knew his stuff and was friendly and efficient. Would have been improved by knowing a bit about likely costs up front.

Goran met us at our apartment, gave us a very competitive quote and was available to take any questions while we made a decision. The installation team came on time and made sure we were happy with their plan before they started. It was a very smooth process. We would recommend to anyone.

Very good. Punctual cleaned up. Polite. They only did it a couple of days ago and we haven't had to use it yet! They a also explained things clearly. Only issue was when it started to rain I had to ask one of them to put the roof tiles back. A very minor thing. I will recommend them to anyone I know.
