Why Smoke Alarms Matter

Fires can break out without warning — but smoke alarms provide the crucial early detection that saves lives. In Western Australia, legislation requires all homes to have compliant smoke alarms installed, particularly during the sale, lease, or renovation of a property.

Here’s why homeowners in Bunbury trust Nixon for their smoke alarm needs:

Legal Compliance

We install smoke alarms that meet WA Building Regulations and Australian Standards (AS 3786).

Life-Saving Technology

Our photoelectric alarms detect smouldering fires earlier than ionisation types.

Hard-Wired with Battery Backup

All alarms are connected to your home’s power supply and backed up with a 10-year lithium battery.

Interconnected Systems

If one alarm sounds, all alarms go off — giving your family more time to react.

Peace of Mind

Regular testing, maintenance and replacement services to ensure your alarms are always in top condition.

Where to install smoke alarms

Where Should Smoke Alarms Be Installed?

According to WA regulations, smoke alarms must be installed:

  • In every hallway or corridor connecting bedrooms
  • In every storey of the home, even if there are no bedrooms
  • Near sleeping areas and inside high-risk zones (e.g. near kitchens)


We’ll ensure your alarms are installed in the most effective positions, taking into account airflow, ceiling height, and household layout.
