Investing in regular smoke alarm testing services is insurance that your staff (or tenants) will be alerted if a fire starts in your building.

How Often do I Need my Smoke Alarm Tested?

Knowing your obligations is an essential component of fire safety. Aside from ensuring the ongoing safety of your building, Elite Care NQ team can help you make sure you tick all the boxes when it comes to testing requirements.

If you are a real estate agent or a landlord, you are obligated to ensure regular smoke alarm maintenance in rental properties. Elite Care NQ team can help you manage the fire safety status of each property you manage, with no fuss. The frequency of your testing obligations will vary based on the nature and location of your building.

Real Estate Services

Smoke alarms are compulsory in every home. Monthly testing is recommended for all alarms on your property. You should always hire a technician to do a yearly test and make sure the batteries are replaced regularly. If you are a landlord, you are obligated to have your warning devices tested in between each change of tenancy.

According to the Building Code of Australia, it is a requirement by law that mains powered smoke alarms are installed in new properties, and any existing properties that have been renovated significantly.  Domestic alarms need to be replaced every ten years.

How Long Does a Smoke Alarm Test Last?

At Elite Care NQ, our smoke alarm testing services are required by owners of everything from one-bedroom apartments to major production facilities. In terms of the latter, responsible business owners that are serious about following their state guidelines, rules and regulations with regards to fire safety will have many more devices to test than an individual in their home. The time required to test will, therefore, depend on the nature of the property and the extent of the systems in place.

However, our professional technicians are highly skilled and strive to minimise the disruption to your business and day. It is important to remember that the job they complete will afford you peace of mind and it will also ensure that you have the necessary documentation to prove that you are strictly adhering to the required testing and maintenance.

Having functioning alarms in place reduces the risk factor with regards to suffering the loss of property or incurring damage. Landlords are responsible for providing their tenants with the necessary safety equipment so that they can take effective measures in the event of any emergency. Failure to do so increases the chances of them becoming seriously injured.

No matter how many alarms you have installed, the time required to test them is always worth the effort and investment of time. Ultimately, our professionals help you to keep all stakeholders safe.
