FAQs
What differentiates your cutting-edge smoke detectors from traditional models?
Our latest detectors combine dual-sensor technology (photoelectric for smouldering fires and advanced blue-LED scatter analysis for fast-flame events) with built-in AI that reduces false alarms from cooking steam or bathroom humidity. They also feature a sealed 10-year lithium battery, automatic self-diagnostics, and wireless mesh networking so every unit in your Cowan home can communicate and sound simultaneously.
Are these detectors compliant with Australian standards and NSW regulations?
Yes. All units are certified to AS 3786:2014 and meet the 2022 NSW Residential Tenancy requirements for powered or 10-year battery alarms in every level, hallway and sleeping area. During installation we issue a Compliance Certificate accepted by local insurers and council safety inspectors in Cowan.
How often do I need to test or service the detectors, and what’s involved?
The on-board self-diagnostic system silently checks the sensor, battery and wireless link every 60 seconds. A green LED confirms normal operation, while a voice prompt and mobile notification alert you to any issue. We still recommend pressing the test button once a month and vacuuming the grille twice a year to remove dust. No battery changes are required for the life of the unit.
Can I install the detectors myself, or do I need a licensed electrician?
Our battery-powered models are DIY-friendly and ship with mounting plates, screws and adhesive pads. If you choose the 240-V hard-wired version (preferred for interconnected alarms in larger Cowan homes) NSW law requires a qualified electrician. We offer fixed-price professional installation that typically takes under two hours for a three-bedroom property and includes placement advice to maximise coverage.
Do the detectors integrate with smart-home systems and send mobile alerts?
Absolutely. Using Wi-Fi or Zigbee, the detectors link to our free iOS/Android app, allowing real-time smoke alerts, silence or test functions, and battery health reports. They also work with Alexa, Google Home and HomeKit for voice status checks or automation—such as switching on hallway lights when an alarm sounds—providing added safety for residents in Cowan.
What warranty and after-sales support do you provide to Cowan customers?
Every detector carries a 10-year manufacturer’s warranty that matches its expected service life. If a unit develops a fault we offer next-business-day replacement anywhere in Cowan. Our local support team is reachable 24/7 via phone, chat or email for troubleshooting, regulatory advice or annual compliance reminders.
