Hard-wired Smoke Alarm Installation?
The Building Regulations 2012 require owners to have mains powered smoke alarms fitted to all residential properties in Perth, WA that are subject to sale, rent or hire. Hard-wired smoke alarms require a licensed electrician to either connect or disconnect the smoke alarm. Where the Regulations permit a battery powered smoke alarm to be fitted instead of one connected to mains power, a licensed electrician is not required to fit the battery powered smoke alarm. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure that;
Smoke alarms/detectors are in working order
Smoke alarms/detectors are no more than 10 years old
Smoke alarms/detectors are compliant with AS/3786/2014
Smoke alarms/detectors are permanently wired to mains
