Is your home compliant with South Australian smoke alarm laws?

South Australia requires smoke alarms to be installed on every level of a home, including in hallways near bedrooms. Landlords have additional obligations around maintenance and testing before new tenancies. Not sure if your property meets current requirements? We can assess your setup.

 

Signs it’s time to replace your smoke alarms

  • Your alarm is more than 10 years old
  • It chirps or beeps intermittently, even with a fresh battery
  • It fails to respond during a test
  • You've recently renovated, and alarm placement no longer makes sense
  • You're a landlord preparing for a new tenancy

Installing a new smoke alarm in your home

Whether you're fitting out a new build, adding alarms to rooms that don't have them, or upgrading to hardwired or interconnected alarms, we'll make sure everything is positioned correctly and compliant with SA regulations. We carry quality alarms and get the job done the same day in most cases.

Some of our frequently asked questions

We understand that choosing the best electrician for smoke alarm installation & replacements can come with a lot of questions. Our team of qualified professionals are here to make the process simple and stress-free - providing clear communication, and quality workmanship every step of the way. To help you get started, here are some common questions.


What type of smoke alarm is legally required in South Australia?

South Australia requires photoelectric smoke alarms in all residential properties. They must be hardwired with battery backup in new builds, while battery-powered alarms are still permitted in existing homes in some circumstances. We can advise on what applies to your property.

How many smoke alarms do I need in my home?

At a minimum, you should have a smoke alarm on each level of the home and one in every hallway that connects bedrooms to the rest of the house. Larger homes or those with multiple sleeping areas may need more.

How often do smoke alarms need to be replaced?

Every 10 years. Even if your alarm appears to be working, the sensor degrades over time and becomes less reliable. Check the manufacture date on the back of the unit if you're not sure how old it is.

Do you install smoke alarms for rental properties?

Yes. We work with landlords and property managers across Adelaide to make sure rental properties meet current SA requirements, including testing and replacement before new tenancies.

Can you repair a smoke alarm, or does it need replacing?

In most cases, a faulty smoke alarm needs replacing rather than repairing. If it's beeping, failing tests, or it’s just simply old, a replacement is the safer and more cost-effective option.

Had a problem with a leaking toilet. Contacted "your local tradesman", given an arrival time for a plumber to attend & review the problem. Plumber arrived on time this morning at 7.30am, & advised what the problem may be. We decided to replace the toilet system due to its age, he checked suppliers, ordered the new unit and it was installed this afternoon by 3.00pm. I am very impressed with the price, and service. Very Highly recommend this plumbing service.
Response from the owner:Thank you, Allan, for your wonderful feedback! We're glad to hear that our plumber was prompt and provided you with great service. It's fantastic that you were impressed with the price and the quick turnaround for your new toilet installation. We truly appreciate your recommendation!

We have met 5 different tradesmen over the past week, including one on work experience. All were lovely, polite, courteous and worked very efficiently. We had both electrical and plumbing work done including new taps, water filter, new toilet and external electrical socket. It was so easy to organise the work from making the initial call to arranging the subsequent appointments needed. Excellent communication via email and texts. We are now members and will be using Your Local Tradesman in the future. Very pleased and satisfied with the work 😊
Response from the owner:Thank you, Vanessa! We're delighted to hear that you had such a positive experience with our tradesmen and found the process easy and efficient. Your satisfaction means a lot to us, and we look forward to serving you again in the future!

Hot water switch had melted and it took a couple of days for me to become aware that it was not heating. The fault was obvious. Electrician checked circuits and found no other faults. He advised that the porcelain fuses needed to be replaced due to the age of the board. From about mid afternoon he ordered replacement parts and completed the installation early evening. I was pleased to have hot water that night and pleased to know my electrical system was safer.
Response from the owner:Thank you, Alan, for your detailed feedback! We're glad to hear that the issue was resolved quickly and that you now have hot water and a safer electrical system. Your satisfaction is important to us!
