At Nixon Busselton, we provide expert smoke alarm installation, testing, and maintenance services to ensure your home is fully protected. Early detection of smoke can mean the difference between life and death—don’t leave your safety to chance.
We serve Busselton, Vasse, Dunsborough, and surrounding communities, helping residents and property owners meet current Western Australian fire safety standards.

Why Smoke Alarms Are Essential
A working smoke alarm is your first line of defense against fires. In WA, it’s a legal requirement for all residential properties to have functioning smoke alarms that are compliant with the Building Regulations 2012.
Nixon Busselton ensures your alarms are:
Properly installed in the right locations
We install smoke alarms that meet WA Building Regulations and Australian Standards (AS 3786).
Hardwired with battery backup (as required by law)
All alarms are connected to your home’s power supply and backed up with a 10-year lithium battery.
Interconnected for maximum safety
If one alarm sounds, all alarms go off — giving your family more time to react.
Tested and maintained for long-term performance
Regular testing, maintenance and replacement services to ensure your alarms are always in top condition.
Our Smoke Alarm Services
Our licenced electricians handle the full scope of smoke alarm services — all delivered with precision, care, and local expertise.
Our services include:
- Installation of Hardwired & Battery-Powered Alarms
- Routine Maintenance & Annual Testing
- Alarm Replacements (10-Year Expiry)
- Real Estate & Landlord Compliance Checks
- Smoke Alarm Placement Assessments
- 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.
What Our Clients Say
Arrived exactly when he said he would. Consulted with us regarding the job and offered very good options. They both interacted positively and were very tidy.
will use them again.....
Special thank you to Kyle who has worked on our jobs over the past couple of years. He always goes above and beyond, takes the time to explain everything clearly, and importantly thinks about things from the owner's point of view. That level of care and consideration is greatly appreciated and certainly doesn't go unnoticed.
We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Nixon Bunbury.
Thanks again to the whole team!
We’ll pass your thanks on to Kyle as well. He’ll be glad to know his effort’s noticed. Thanks again for your continued support and this lovely review.
Helpful tradesman and I could not thank him enough for his help and advice and installation ease
Highly skilled service agent, very well actioned job.
Have previously used Nixon Air and Electrical at my investment property in the past and would recommend the company to all my friends and family. Thank you Nixon!
The electricians, who installed our fans, Tyrone & Jarvis, turned up promptly and were very professional & friendly.
I would highly recommend Nixon Electrical to anyone needing electrical work done.
very polite and well mannered
This work was completed close to three years ago. While the fans were client-supplied, the charge covered installation, compliance with Australian standards, testing, and a workmanship warranty. All pricing was agreed to prior to the work. Please also keep in mind that not all installations are the same when comparing.

Thanks from The Merchant warehouse and cafe
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.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review and for sharing your feedback.
Just to clarify, the appointment was not booked as a solar fault-finding service. The original quoted scope of work ($398.42) was to investigate high power bills, which included a switchboard inspection, testing of household appliances, and assessing other electrical loads throughout the home.
On the day, our electrician found that there were fewer appliances and circuits than initially expected, so the final invoice was reduced to $242.66 to accurately reflect the time spent on site. The checks carried out were in line with the agreed scope of works.
We appreciate your comments regarding our communication and the technician’s professionalism, and we’re sorry there was any misunderstanding around the purpose of the visit.
If you’d like to discuss this further, please feel free to give us a call.
Explained everything
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!
I would highly recommend Nixon for any electrical work. Thanks guys.
Thanks guys!
Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback. We are genuinely sorry to hear that your experience did not reflect the high standards we are known for.
After reviewing your job notes, our technician found that your ducted system was not operating and identified the fan motor and main control board as likely causes. Both are common faults in older systems. Due to the unit’s age, we recommended a full system replacement rather than attempting repairs that could cause further issues or short-term fixes.
We have tried reaching out several times since your review and would still really like the opportunity to talk it through and make things right. Could you please contact our Busselton office on (08) 9754 4400 so we can review it together?
We take pride in our work and customer service, with over 800 five-star reviews across our branches throughout WA, and we would appreciate the chance to discuss this directly with you.
Kind regards,
