Why upgrade to photoelectric smoke alarms?
Photoelectric alarms detect smoldering fires 30% faster than ionization models, with 90% fewer false alarms from cooking. They're now recommended by all Australian fire services and comply with updated AS 3786 standards.
Can I install photoelectric alarms myself?
While battery-powered photoelectric alarms can be DIY installed, professional installation ensures optimal placement, proper interconnection, and compliance certification. Hardwired models always require licensed electricians.
What's the lifespan of photoelectric alarms?
Modern photoelectric alarms last 10 years, with sealed lithium batteries that never need replacement. After 10 years, the entire unit should be replaced to ensure reliable detection.
