Why is it absolutely vital to have your smoke alarm installation carried out and checked by professionals? Well, under South Australian legislation, it’s a requirement for all homeowners to have either a hard-wired or battery-powered 240v smoke alarm in their home. It’s the most reliable and effective way to prepare for a fire emergency; given that you’re regularly testing your systems. Many people don’t account for this in their regular home maintenance, but data from the National Fire Protection Agency suggests that 50% of all fatal house fires occur while the residents are asleep. So, it’s important that home and business owners have a routine system in place for optimal safety. At Deadshort Electrical, we supply, install and service your alarms to safeguard your premises. The brand we recommend is Clipsal—which has a range of tried and tested products fit for smoke alarm installation for any application.
