Smoke alarms are essential to 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 throughout Bunbury and the surrounding areas. Whether you’re upgrading an old system or installing new alarms during a renovation or build, we’re here to ensure your home is compliant and safe.
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.
Smoke Alarm Services We Offer
Our licenced 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.

The installation itself was seamless—everything was completed on schedule, the team was tidy, and they made sure to walk us through how to use the system before leaving.
