Smoke Detectors
Smoke detectors are essential in Australian homes and businesses. Increasingly, clever technology is able to help people to detect fires before they lead to loss of property or life. It is the legal responsibility of all home-owners and landlords in NSW to install working smoke alarms on each floor of their property. Here at Elekmark, we can ensure that the correct installation and testing procedures have been carried out.

Hardwiring
There are lots of different types of smoke detectors on the market, from photoelectrical detectors that use a feedback loop between a light sensitive diode (LSD) and light emitting diode (LED) through to ionisation detectors that use two plates and an ionising chamber. While battery operated smoke detectors are available and often used in Australia, a hardwired alarm system with battery backup is generally believed to be the safest option.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance of smoke detectors is crucial to ensure correct operation. Elekmark has the experience and knowledge necessary to test all detection and alarm systems and ensure correct placement. While NSW laws stipulate a single smoke detector on each floor, expert advice can make it easier to install multiple smoke detectors in the right locations.

With almost 50 percent of domestic fires originating in the kitchen, having a smoke detector installed close to the kitchen is critical. Grease fires in the kitchen can be very dangerous as they get out of control quickly and often spread to other areas of the house. Other rooms are also susceptible, with coil space heaters and fan heaters in bedrooms and living rooms also known to cause dangerous fires that can quickly get out of control.
Install and test
Elekmark is able to install and test a range of smoke detector systems, with our qualified electricians able to place detectors in the best possible position and ensure that the rest of the house is up to standard. For example, electrical fires may possibly result from faulty wiring or power outlets; our expert team can check your entire house at the same time as installing and testing individual detection and alarm systems..
