Why You Should Hire an Electrician to Check Your Smoke Alarms.

Smoke alarms are one of the most important safety devices in your home, yet they’re often neglected until it’s too late. At Ashtec Electrical Services, we believe that protecting your family starts with a properly installed and fully functional smoke alarm system.

Here’s why you should leave smoke alarm checks to the professionals—and why Ashtec is the team you can trust.

1. Correct Installation for Maximum Protection

Smoke alarms must be installed in the right locations to be truly effective—like outside bedrooms, inside sleeping areas, and on every level of your home. Many homes fall short of this standard. Our licensed electricians at Ashtec ensure your smoke alarms are not only installed to Australian Standards but also correctly positioned and interconnected to give you the earliest possible warning in case of fire.

2. We Detect Hidden Electrical Faults

Hardwired smoke alarms are often connected directly to your home’s electrical system, which means issues like faulty wiring or overloaded circuits can silently disable your alarms. Our team can inspect the wiring, test the power supply, and fix any faults before they become a hazard.

3. Time to Upgrade? We’ll Let You Know

Did you know smoke alarms need to be replaced every 10 years? Whether you have older models or battery-operated alarms that are past their prime, Ashtec can advise on and install the latest compliant alarms—including photoelectric models that offer enhanced features and reliability.

4. We Go Beyond the Button Test

Pressing the test button only confirms the alarm can make a sound—it doesn’t mean it can detect smoke. At Ashtec Electrical Services, we perform a full system test to ensure your alarms are fully functional, responsive, and compliant with current regulations.
