Why Interconnected Smoke Alarms Are Now a Legal and Life-Saving Necessity in NSW

According to updated NSW legislation, all new smoke alarms installed in residential dwellings must be interconnected, allowing one alarm to trigger all units simultaneously when smoke is detected. This ensures early detection and timely evacuation, especially during the night when residents may not hear a single standalone smoke detector in another room.

Whether you're renovating, building new, or updating an old system, installing interconnected photoelectric smoke alarms is now part of the legal requirements for home safety. These devices detect smoke particles from smoldering fires more effectively than ionization alarms and are less prone to false alarms caused by dust or cooking.

For rental properties, NSW legislation also mandates the installation of interconnected alarms in key areas, such as bedrooms, hallways, and living areas, all mounted at the highest point on the ceiling and away from dead air spaces.

Insurance companies are increasingly requiring proof of alarm compliance, and in some cases, may deny claims if smoke alarms are missing or non-functional. Installing modern systems improves your home’s resale value, safety rating, and overall peace of mind.

Install interconnected smoke alarms that comply with NSW laws to ensure fire safety.

What Is an Interconnected Smoke Alarm System and Why It’s the New Gold Standard

Unlike standalone smoke detectors, interconnected smoke alarms communicate with each other wirelessly or via wiring. This means if one alarm detects smoke, it triggers all other alarms in your home, providing a unified warning system that helps save lives.



Every second counts in a house fire. Interconnected systems provide faster alerts to every room, even if the smoke starts far from where people are sleeping. This reduces the chance of someone being caught unaware in a different part of the house, especially in larger homes or multi-storey buildings.

When our master electricians install smoke alarms, we tailor the setup to your property's layout, ensuring that no dead air space or vulnerable area is left unprotected. We only use photoelectric smoke alarms equipped with long-lasting batteries and a mains-powered backup to ensure continuous operation.

Upgrade to an interconnected system and gain peace of mind every hour of the day.

Smoke Alarm Installation for Landlords, Airbnb Hosts, and Strata Managers

If you manage rental properties, you’re legally responsible for ensuring smoke alarms are installed, operational, and fully compliant with NSW fire safety laws. According to smoke alarm legislation, you must have at least one smoke alarm per level of the property, and these must be tested annually. We ensure your properties meet these legal requirements and provide certificates for smoke alarm compliance to document everything fully.

Airbnb hosts and owners of short-stay accommodation are held to the same standard. A functional smoke alarm can significantly impact the safety and well-being of your guests. Our licensed electricians install smoke alarms, test existing systems, and replace expired units with new smoke alarms that feature long-lasting lithium batteries, reducing the hassle of regular maintenance.

Our smoke alarm installers are trained to handle bulk alarm installation projects efficiently and effectively. Whether you have five units or fifty, we’ll coordinate inspections, access times, and installations without disrupting your bookings or operations.

For strata managers, we offer building-wide fire safety solutions, including tailored maintenance schedules, interconnected smoke alarms installed across all units, and rapid service delivery. We manage access with tenants, perform testing, and issue certifications in compliance with NSW legislation and strata by-laws.

Lithium Battery Alarms vs. Hardwired Systems

—Which Should You Choose?

Choosing the right smoke alarm system begins with understanding the unique needs of your home or property. Lithium battery smoke alarms are an excellent option for many Sydney homeowners—they’re compact, affordable, and quick to install. With a sealed, long-lasting battery that can run for up to 10 years, they eliminate the need for frequent battery changes, making them ideal for retrofits or temporary setups.

On the other hand, mains-powered smoke alarms—also known as 240V hardwired systems—connect directly to your electrical system and come with a backup battery for added security. These models are best suited for new builds or long-term homeowners seeking maximum reliability and durability. Because they’re hardwired, they provide uninterrupted performance even during extended power outages and are a preferred choice for achieving full smoke alarm compliance in more complex layouts.

Many Sydney households and landlords opt for a combination of both. Installing lithium battery units in hard-to-reach areas or spaces without wiring access, while using hardwired alarms in living zones and hallways, ensures consistent coverage.

Are you uncertain about the best option for your space? Our licensed electricians provide tailored advice to help you make the right choice for safety and budget.
