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:

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.

Service is fabulous. Great customer service. Professional and very competent technician. I would recommend without hesitation.

Benjamin C.

I contacted Alliance Climate Control, due to leaking water from my air conditioner. I had Gabriel come to evaluate the condition, and he gave me quotes and explained options. He immediately scheduled the job through a phone call with the office. 2 weeks later, I had Emre and Luke come to my apartment to properly do a deep clean on my air conditioning system. They both did a fantastic job within 2 hours. After the AC is properly cleaned. It works perfectly and feels like new again. Really happy with the job they did. I think I'm going to do this every 12 months as they recommended.

Bill S.

The team led by Bokhan did an excellent job on the installation. They worked through the bad weather to get the job done, and were always ready to provide us feedback when needed. The instal team and the electrical team were very professional.
We would highly recommended Alliance Climate Control for their high quality work.

Tim A.

Superb service - Ivan and hist team worked assiduously all afternoon to provide everything and more that I asked for - well beyond the call of duty! He and his team were receptive, polite and just got on with it. The best service I have ever had in fact.

Iva S.

Gokhan, Can and Niko have installed our new AC and removed the old one. Professional, kind, polite and very respectful. They cleaned all rubbish and packing materials from the works. They left the area clean and all the works have been done with good workmanship. Very careful with our belongings. Happy with the installation. Electrical works are still ongoing.

Edit to add the electrical installation- Mohamed and James were amazing. The job was very long, but the persevered and did a very nice neat conduit. They cleaned up after drilling and the cut offs- very neat work and great quality. Very polite and professional.
AC works ! Thank you for your services, would not hesitate to use ACC crews again.

I had a second job done by ACC - amazing electrician Mohammad and cannot fault his work. Always checking when things got tricky 😅 but we solved all the issues on the spot. He replaced our 24 years old main switch board and created 2 new outdoors el sockets. Neat, tidy, polite and very efficient. Even our cat liked him ☺️. Thank you for your service!

Helen C.

Excellent service, punctual and extremely thorough and helpful.

Michelle P.

I was happy with the service from Alliance through the whole process. Harry spent a alot of time at our house discussing the various options for aircon (ducted vs. Split systems) and the pros and cons of each - he even tried to find the manhole access to our roof. He was also very responsive to questions I had about the quote once we'd made a decision.
BJ and Carlos came for the install. They were very professional, did a good job of cleaning up afterwards, and spent time explaining the whole install process and how to use the systems once they had left.
I would use Alliance again for any further aircon installation. I was really happy with their service and the quality of the work.

Alborz R.

I had a fantastic experience with the entire team who installed my air conditioning system. From the initial coordination to the final installation, everything was handled professionally and smoothly.

A big thank you to BJ, Theo, Can, Matthew, Cara, Eric and Will — each of them was knowledgeable, friendly, and clearly took pride in their work. The team arrived on time, communicated clearly throughout the process, and left the place clean and tidy after the job was completed.

Highly recommend this team to anyone looking for reliable and professional air conditioning supply and installation. Couldn’t be happier with the result.

P.S. Andre returned to install the wooden aircon cover—fantastic job, great energy, and super efficient. Really appreciated it!

Rodney M.

Very professional. Great company. Efficient.

James T.

We are so very pleased with the installation of our new system. Kevin, Dragan and Ivan were so professional, thoughtful, with every aspect of the installation. Kevin’s instructions to me re the control pad were very clear with him constantly checking that I understood all aspect of the control panel. Their clean up and the way they left our home on completion was just perfect.
Kevin, Dragan and Ivan are a credit to your company, we feel very fortunate to have had three such competent team members of Alliance Climate Control carry out our requirements.

Pauline R.

I can't speak too highly of the service we received from Alliance. From first contact and ongoing attention from Cara and Luke in the office to the assessment stage with Steven, the service was courteous and efficient, answering all our questions without hesitation.
When it came to installation B.J. and Theo were very prompt and helpful, taking great care to ensure that we were well informed and happy about every stage , leaving us with written directions and a demonstration of how to use the controller.
We have no hesitation in highly recommending Alliance.

Nat C.

Thanks Aden and Ryan for your amazing work and leaving the place so tidy afterwards.

Mark C.

Stephen, Rahul and Alex were all very professional and did a fantastic job on our system. Highly recommended

Gael H.

Dylan phoned 30 minutes before arriving. He was clean, very efficient, knowledgeable and thorough. He patiently walked me through the timer process and left written directions. We kept him longer to answer questions. He did not tear out the door.

I was so lucky to get my annual service by Christian. He is a dream technician to work with. He was punctual, polite, accommodating, listened to my requests and fulfilled them all. Worked every minute whilst he was here, made photos and texted them to me, when I needed to know what condition the roof was in. His work was very clean, he did a very thorough job, got photos of "before and after". I couldn't be more satisfied with him, I'd like to get him back any time. I can recommend him to all your customers. Congratulations to the all your management who make excellent effort to pick the right people, who, in the end, just enhance the reputation of the company. Well done!

Ros R.

I have already given a feedback by phone that said how pleased I was with the teams efficiency & work ethics of Jonathon, Christian & Ca. They did a great job! Rosalyn

We had our system installed by Alliance a few years ago and everything about the experience was clear, professional with great results. Even now on the fixed price servicing, it’s predictably good, great value. I can’t recommend Alliance Climate Control enough. Thank you.

joshua L.

Great team

Carmel B.

Emre & Luke who attended the service were polite, very professional, loved my dog Bonnie & explained the service on our air conditioning system. The feedback after the service was very through & good. I will say, that the efpos machine for payment, took forever. Emre had to restart it several times before it eventually accepted my payment for the service. You may want to consider replacing it. Thanks again for the excellent service.

Antony R.

Ivan, Ben, and Can did a terrific job installing my air conditioner into an apartment where little thought had been given by the architect to where the conduit for an air conditioner might be installed. I was very impressed by their perseverance and professionalism. Many thanks!

Prasanna M.

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.
