Reliable Smoke Alarm Services for Safer Sydney Homes

Professional Installation, Compliance, and Peace of Mind

A working smoke alarm system can mean the difference between safety and disaster. At Lightning Bult, we specialise in professional smoke alarm installation and servicing across Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs, Northern Beaches, North Shore, and Inner West. With changing legislation and rising fire risks, there’s never been a more important time to make sure your smoke alarms are compliant, interconnected, and working perfectly.

Why Smoke Alarm Compliance Matters

Under Australian Standard 3786-2014, homes must have photoelectric smoke alarms installed:

• In every bedroom
• In hallways connecting bedrooms
• On every level of a dwelling

These smoke alarms must:

• Be interconnected (so if one sounds, they all do)
• Be hardwired (240V) with a battery backup
• Be replaced every 10 years (check the expiration date on the back of your unit)

Staying compliant not only protects lives but is also essential for insurance and legal responsibilities—especially for landlords and property managers.

What We Offer

Our licensed electricians handle everything from supply and installation to testing and certification, ensuring your home meets current regulations. Whether you need to update an expired detector or install a full interconnected system, we offer complete smoke alarm solutions.

Why Choose Photoelectric Smoke Alarms?

Photoelectric alarms detect slow, smouldering fires faster than traditional ionisation models. These are common in homes—often caused by electrical faults or smouldering materials. Photoelectric alarms respond more quickly, giving your family more time to evacuate safely.

Carbon Monoxide (CO) Detector Installation

Smoke alarms are only part of a complete home safety system. Carbon monoxide (CO) is an invisible, odourless, and tasteless gas that can be deadly. At Lightning Bult, we also install carbon monoxide detectors to help protect Sydney homes from this silent threat.

Why You Need a CO Detector:

• Early warning: Alerts you before levels become dangerous
• Health protection: Prevents headaches, confusion, and fatal poisoning
• 24/7 monitoring: Works around the clock—even while you sleep
• Ideal for homes with gas heaters, fireplaces, or attached garages
• Meets safety regulations and insurance requirements
• Affordable protection: A small investment with life-saving potential
• Smart home compatible: Some detectors integrate with mobile apps for remote alerts

If your home uses gas appliances, has a fireplace, or shares airspace with a garage, a CO detector is essential.
