Some Landlords and Property Managers have the misconception that checking a smoke alarm is just pushing the button. We are often asked what we do when we attend a property. This is what we do...

• Ensure all alarms meet Australian Standard 3786-1993
  
  
• Ensure all alarms satisfy the requirements of the Building code of Australia in regard to placement and position
  
  
• Ensure all alarms are not past their expiry date (all smoke alarms, including 240v hard wired alarms must be replaced within 10 years of the manufacture date)
  
  
• Remove and test the battery to ensure more than 80% charge and replace when required
  
  
• Test audible output of the alarm to ensure no less than 80dba
  
  
• Thoroughly clean alarm and spray with compressed air (Many smoke alarm service providers use Smoke In A Can. This leaves an oil residue on the alarm and causes many false and beeping alarms and should not be used)
  
  
• Remove alarm from ceiling, check connections and ensure power supply to 240v hard wired alarms using Voltfinger technology
  
  
• Relocate 9v battery smoke alarms to correct positions when required to save you the cost of a new alarm
  
  
• Replace any faulty or expired alarms at no cost
  
  
• Clean up any mess and leave a courtesy card for the tenant/s letting them know of our attendance.
  
  
• Provide a Compliance Statement (within 2 hours) detailing all smoke alarms at the property, their expiry date, type and position.
