Smoke alarms are essential for protecting your home, loved ones, and property from the dangers of fire. At Nixon, we specialise in the installation, replacement, and maintenance of hard-wired photoelectric smoke alarms to help keep homes safe and compliant. Whether you are upgrading an existing system or installing new alarms during a renovation or build, our team is here to help.

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 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.
Smoke Alarm Services We Offer
Our licensed electricians handle the full scope of smoke alarm services — all delivered with precision, care, and local expertise.
Our services include:
- Supply and installation of compliant smoke alarms
- Replacement of expired or faulty alarms
- Upgrading battery-powered units to hard-wired systems
- Interconnecting multiple alarms
- Annual maintenance and compliance testing
- Smoke alarm testing during electrical safety inspections
We can advise on the best placement and quantity of alarms for your home layout, ensuring maximum coverage and safety.


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.

Couldn't recommend more highly! Thanks Ryan and the team 🙂
Thank you
Thanks for the 5 star review, we really appreciate it.
The sparkies were incredibly friendly, professional, and easy to deal with. They arrived on time, completed the job efficiently, and most importantly — everything was done properly the first time.
They also cleaned up after themselves before leaving, which made such a difference. Highly recommend Nixon Electrical for anyone looking for reliable, high-quality electrical work!

On installation day, the team arrived right on time, worked efficiently, and completed the job quickly. They also left the place spotless, which was a great touch.
I would highly recommend Nixon Bunbury to anyone in the South West looking for reliable, professional service. Definitely one of the best around!
On time and completed the work with great results. We had a number of power points replaced, new downlights installed, new celling fans installed, removal of old flush mounted light fittings and power run to a new outdoor kitchen.
The admin staff, scheduling team and operations managers all communicated proficiently and overall was a great experience and result.
The team was professional, punctual and clearly very experienced. They took the time to explain the system, answered all my questions and made sure everything was set up exactly how I wanted. The installation itself was completed efficiently and to a very high standard, with great attention to detail.
What really stood out was their communication and care throughout the job. They respected the home, cleaned up properly afterwards and made sure everything was working perfectly before they left.
I would highly recommend Nixon to anyone looking for a reliable and high-quality air conditioning installation. Outstanding service all round.

-The team at Westurn Engineering.
I have had consistently high standards of work completed by Nixons at my Kennels, ranging from basic electrical maintenance, emergency call outs for loss of power through to maintenance and new installation of several air conditioning units.
My business is very happy with Nixons and will continue to use them as our number 1 contractor for all our electrical and air conditioning requirements.
Thank you Nixons.
Absolutely great service from Dodds Aircon! The install was smooth, the team was easy to deal with, and we’re super happy with our new aircon—just in time for summer. Big shout out to Noah for planning and executing the job perfectly. Highly recommend!
