What is a Smoke Alarm?

Smoke alarms are required in every home in Australia by law to protect occupants from death or injury due to smoke inhalation or catastrophic fire, but there are so many things to consider, it’s no wonder the subject is so confusing.

Basically, two types of smoke alarms are commonly available, being Photoelectric and Ionisation alarms, other special purpose alarms are also sometimes used such as carbon monoxide alarms where gas combustion or an open hearth fire might introduce harmful fumes to the living space.

The main difference between Photoelectric and Ionisation alarms is that Photoelectric alarms can sense smoke from a smouldering fire, enabling early arousal of occupants and allow time to control the fire or escape if necessary, but they are poorly equipped to sense a well-established, flaming fire.

Ionisation alarms by contrast can identify the presence of a flaming fire effectively but they are less able to provide early warning of a smouldering fire or impending breathing or visibility difficulties caused by heavy smoke. Some alarms combine both types of sensing, however, ionisation sensors can be triggered by vapours produced by cooking or by steam so their location should be suitably distanced from the bathroom or kitchen or other location where food is cooked.

Other types of smoke alarms might include heat sensing alarms, particularly suitable to fires in the kitchen where cooking oil might catch fire or from other inadvertent ignition sources, however, fires of this origin are more likely to be noticed immediately ignition takes place and easier to control.

How can we help with your Smoke Alarm?

Smoke alarms are usually quite inexpensive and readily available from many outlets. The least expensive types require regular battery replacement, usually once every year, but all smoke alarms require attention of this frequency to keep them clean and insect free.

Some smoke alarms are provided with lithium long life batteries, lasting around 10 years, however, it is recommended to replace smoke alarms after this period of time so battery replacement is not an option.

Other smoke alarms may be wired in, therefore only requiring testing of the sensor and cleaning every year. In multiple alarm installations, they can all be configured to emit a warning sound when any of the alarms in the circuit are triggered. Some also have marker lights to guide occupants to safety where visibility is impaired due to heavy smoke.

Alliance Climate Control can complete installation of any selected smoke alarms, particularly those “wired-in” systems interconnected for additional safety. Accordingly, we will:

Recommend the most suitable type and location of smoke alarms to protect you and your family Install your preferred smoke alarm whether that be a photoelectric or ionising type, regularly maintained, longlife battery or wired in smoke alarm systems.
We can even visit annually to inspect and maintain your smoke alarm systems, ensuring your home complies with government legislation and making sure all occupants are completely safe always.
We can also include replacement of any longlife battery models after 10 years’ service, so you don’t have to commit an installation date to memory and set up a replacement appointment. We can do that for you and let you know a couple of weeks in advance when replacement is due.

Great service from first call to installation. Tommy, Shabi and Miguel have done a great job. Worked carefully, provided lots of information, kept us in the loop about what was being done. Everything tested and system explained. Cleaned up and left in great condition. All round best service we have had from tradespeople.

Terry H.

From the moment Liam arrived to give us a quote the whole process was seamless and so professional. Great price and perfectly designed for our house. I cannot speak highly enough of the installers. Yunus and his team were so accommodating and professional. Perfect installation plus they left the house perfectly clean and tidy and removed all the rubbish. Alliance are big on customer satisfaction and what’s not to like about that. We will be using Alliance again.

Paul S.

The installation of my mother-in-law's split-system went better than expected, a good team with B.J., Daniel and the others, from the quotation to the electrician, doing a quick turnaround with minimal noise and mess. The previous system and all materials were removed along with all packaging. Thanks guys.

John M.

Good job.

Tommy, Dragan, Miguel, JJ and Peter did the job for me and were great - super efficient, cleaned up well and made sure none of my furniture was damaged, and the aircon works great! Definitely recommend.

Ashok J.

I am very pleased with the professionalism and efficiency of Alliance Climate Control as a company and also want to make special mention of Jake Perri, Zach Grenfel, Tommy and his team who installed the new ducted unit and Harry and his team who resealed the ceiling, for their excellent work.

Excellent work from team professional and proficient. Tommy, Dragan, Emerson, Ben, Kaspar and Harry

James W

Jason and his team at Alliance were professional, punctual and transparent with all the works and fees required. They were responsive and fast with diagnosing, fixing and servicing our air conditioning units on the same day. They also gave us multiple options to keep costs as low as possible which is wonderful considering all works had itemised pricing so that level of transparency was very much appreciated. Thank you and would highly recommend!

James A.

Even the word “outstanding” wouldn’t be a strong enough adjective to describe the professionalism, responsiveness, thoughtfulness and quite possibly unmatched competence of this organisation. This is the second time I’ve engaged their services to rectify issues with my apartment’s ducted air conditioning system and will absolutely do so again.

Peter C.

Great

Michael K.

This company did a great job in changing over our ageing ducted system. The whole process from the initial enquiry, visit from the technician and the installation team was second to none. Alliance provided regular updates and ensured that communication was clear and costs were transparent. A great example of quality workmanship and professional customer service.

Jennifer L.

Alliance installed aircon to our 2 storey 1970s house. The team - Thomas, Gokhan, Dragan, Emre and led by Yunus, were fantastic, from arriving on time to leaving the house perfectly clean after the installation process. They went about everything professionally and expertly, always keeping us informed as they progressed through the various stages, and clearly explaining how the system would be configured and how it operates. They dealt with challenges such as working at heights, their workmanship inside and out was expert and immaculate. They were a pleasure to have in our home. Our great thanks to Yunus for all his thoughtful guidance and each of the team, who all went out of their way to ensure a remarkable job, exceeding our expectations.

Julian S.

Very professional and thorough. No damage and all mess cleaned up. New air con working flawlessly.

Mitchell R.

Yunus and team were very professional and did a very neat job. Worked late Friday afternoon and evening to get it done.

chris P.

Extremely helpful, the team that installed the New air conditioning fantastic they went out of there way, also cleaning up afterwards. Big shout out to Yunus 👍

Linden D.

The team at Alliance were incredible - professional, helpful and knowledgeable in all aspects of the job. From quote to service on site, the Alliance team made us feel as though we were the most important people in their business. There was no pressure to buy - they simply presented us with options that were both cost effective and were tailored to meet the unique needs of our property. The instal team - Yunus, Gothan and Emie- were incredible. They protected our space with considerable care and did an amazing job - even ensuring our pets were comfortable and not disturbed by the noise of instal, dust or their work. Yunus led his team well and was extremely knowledgeable- happy to share that knowledge with us to ensure we made the most of the air con unit they installed. To be honest the air con unit became less the focus of our experience with Alliance - really my rating is for the Alliance team and their amazing attention to first rate service and focus on the customer as an individual. Did we get a good product and value for money - yes, definitely. But it is the total experience of working with the Alliance team that we will remember and tell others about. Hence this rather long google review. Every word is true. They’re great.

Alliance were recommended to us by friends. James, the sales guy, came out and gave us a few options for our a/c installation. I never, at any point, felt pressured to use their company but I'm glad I did. We chose a multi head Panasonic which suited our house restrictions. You can control it using the normal remote or an App. Which is good for when your kid forgets to turn it off and you aren't home!

The communication was excellent with Alliance every step of the way (sales, accounts, schedulers, installers, electricians etc) and we were very happy with the final installation by Yunus, Gokhan, Dragan and Thomas. Everyone was polite, neat and seemed to know what they were doing.

Alliance were able to the whole job, including electrical work. Very convenient and recommended. Thanks.

Kim H.

I was very happy with very professional work done in installing my aircon units . Very clean & careful with my furniture &unit.The whole crew were good Yumus, Gokhon,Emre plus the units are a lot quieter then expected & I love that they match the outside with colour bond cover over the the pipe. They had all the diagrams & certificates for strata & also electricians. So have no trouble recommending this company.

We had our air con installed. From initial consultation to final installation took less than 2 weeks. Jake, Yunus, Gotham, Emre and their team has been exceptionally great. The sales consultation was thorough and easily understood. Jake was personable, personable and communicative.

Yunus's installation team was prompt, and engaging. The installation took no time at all and best of all, the place was cleaned up and spotless by the time they are done.

The air con is working fantastically. I'm super grateful. Would definitely recommend them and use them again in the future

How to maintain your smoke alarms

Once your smoke alarms are installed, it’s an easy matter to simply forget them but you need to make sure they are ready to protect you and your family if a fire does happen while you are asleep. Consequently, no matter which type you select to install, it’s important to not only replace the battery every year, if applicable, but also to test its function every 3 months or as often as you please.

Perhaps you have installed the type where a torch beam will be enough to test the alarm, maybe the smoke alarm is accessible enough to reach with a broom handle or extension arm. However, for annual inspection and maintenance, the smoke alarm should be opened and cleaned to remove any dust or insects that might have built up.

Alliance Climate Control technicians would be pleased to provide this service for you to keep your smoke alarms in a good condition and also to ensure your family and your home are always well protected.
