SMOKE ALARM TESTING
NSW compliant smoke alarm testing, installation and replacement for homes and rental properties across Lake Macquarie, Newcastle and the Hunter Valley. CCEW issued on completion.
âš¡ What is involved
KEEP YOUR HOME SAFE & COMPLIANT
Smoke alarms save lives. In NSW all residential properties are required by law to have working smoke alarms installed. For rental properties the requirements are particularly specific and landlords who do not meet their obligations face significant fines and potential liability in the event of a fire.
We carry out professional smoke alarm testing, installation and replacement for homeowners, landlords and property managers across Lake Macquarie, Newcastle, Maitland, Hunter Valley and the Central Coast. All work is carried out to current NSW standards and we issue a Certificate of Compliance for Electrical Work (CCEW) on completion, giving you documented proof that the work meets all legislative requirements.
For rental properties we can work directly with your property manager to schedule testing before each new tenancy, ensuring your obligations are met without you having to manage the process yourself. We make smoke alarm compliance simple, affordable and completely above board.

âš¡ Common Questions
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How often should smoke alarms be tested?
Smoke alarms should be tested at least once a year. For rental properties in NSW, landlords are required to ensure alarms are tested within 30 days before a new tenancy begins and that batteries are replaced at the start of each tenancy.
Do you issue a compliance certificate after testing?
Yes. We issue a Certificate of Compliance for Electrical Work (CCEW) on completion of all smoke alarm installation and testing work. This gives landlords and property managers documented proof of compliance.
What type of smoke alarms do you install?
We install photoelectric smoke alarms which are recommended by NSW Fire and Rescue as the most effective type for detecting slow smouldering fires, which are the most common type in residential properties. We can advise on the best placement and type for your property.
Can you service my whole rental portfolio?
Yes. We work with property managers and landlords across the Hunter region to manage smoke alarm compliance across multiple properties. Get in touch and we can discuss a servicing schedule that suits your portfolio.
