FAQs
What sets your state-of-the-art smoke detectors apart from standard models?
Our Newcomb-optimised detectors use dual-sensor technology (photoelectric + thermo-optical) to identify both slow-smouldering and fast-flame fires within seconds. They include built-in self-diagnostics, end-of-life alerts, and wireless mesh networking that lets each unit relay alarms to neighbouring detectors for whole-home coverage without extra wiring.
Are these smoke detectors compliant with Newcomb and Victorian fire-safety regulations?
Yes. Every model we supply meets AS 3786:2014 (Australian Standard for smoke alarms) and is fully compliant with the Victorian Residential Tenancies Regulations 2021. Our team certifies each installation and provides you with a Compliance Certificate recognised by the City of Greater Geelong, which covers the Newcomb area.
How often do the detectors need maintenance or battery replacement?
The sealed lithium power cells last 10 years—the full service life of the alarm—so you never have to replace batteries. We recommend pressing the test button monthly and booking a professional service check every 12 months, where we vacuum the sensing chamber, update firmware, and confirm network connectivity.
Can your detectors integrate with smart-home systems or mobile monitoring apps?
Absolutely. The units support Wi-Fi, Zigbee, and Z-Wave protocols. You can link them to Google Home, Amazon Alexa, or Apple HomeKit to receive real-time alerts, silence nuisance alarms, and view battery and sensor status from your phone. For added peace of mind, optional 24/7 cloud monitoring can push notifications to multiple users and even call emergency services if you’re away.
What is involved in the professional installation service and how long does it take?
A licensed A-Grade electrician will visit your property, perform a site assessment, and position alarms in accordance with the National Construction Code (NCC) for optimal coverage. Installation of a typical 3-bedroom home with interconnected units takes about 90 minutes. We clean up afterwards and run a full system test with you before sign-off.
What warranty and after-sales support do you offer?
Each detector carries a 10-year manufacturer’s warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. In addition, we include one year of free remote technical support and discounted annual maintenance plans. If an alarm ever faults, we’ll replace it at no labour cost within 48 hours for customers in the Newcomb area.
