How many smoke alarms do I need in my property?

The number of smoke alarms required depends on the size and layout of the property, including how many bedrooms and levels it has. In most NSW homes, smoke alarms are required on every level and in hallways or areas connected to bedrooms. The easiest way to determine what is needed is through a property inspection.

What areas do you service?

We service Bathurst, Lithgow, Orange, Mudgee, Blayney, Canowindra, Cowra, Oberon and surrounding Central West areas.

Where should smoke alarms be installed?

Smoke alarms should be installed on or near the ceiling in hallways associated with bedrooms, or between the bedroom area and the rest of the home if there is no hallway. Smoke alarms are often found in the wrong locations, so a compliance inspection is the best way to make sure they meet current NSW requirements.

Are smoke alarms required in rental properties in NSW?

Yes. Smoke alarms are mandatory in all rental properties in NSW. Landlords are responsible for ensuring smoke alarms are installed, maintained and working correctly at all times.

How often do smoke alarms need to be checked?

Smoke alarms should be checked annually to ensure they are working correctly and remain compliant with current NSW legislation.
