When I moved to Smithton I contacted Jeremy for electrical works. By the time he left I trusted him completely. His business has grown so much in the short time I have lived here.

How it goes

From alarm map to smoke alarm certificate.

Five steps, and most 3 bed homes are done in under 90 minutes.

    Step 01 · Alarm map
    Step 1 · Map

    Every bedroom, hallway and level, mapped.

    We confirm how many alarms you need, where they go and which type. Usually over the phone with a quick floorplan sketch.

    • Every level
    • Every bedroom
    • Hallways to bedrooms
    • Photoelectric alarms on every level, in every bedroom and in the hallways serving bedrooms.
    • Hush button and strobe options for hearing impaired households.
  2. Illustrative: electrician showing a couple a sealed lithium smoke alarm and a hardwired smoke alarm in their kitchen
    Step 02 · Hardwired or sealed
    Step 2 · Choose

    Hardwired or 10 year sealed lithium.

    Hardwired with battery backup suits new builds and major renos. RF linked sealed lithium suits a retrofit, with no rewiring.

    • 240V hardwired
    • 10 year sealed lithium
    • Fixed price
    • A 3 bed single storey RF interconnected retrofit is typically $590 to $890, supply and install.
    • One all in price for hardware, install and certificate. No 'while we're here' surprises.
  3. Illustrative: electrician on a step ladder holding an old smoke alarm, chatting with the homeowner in a bedroom with drop sheets down
    Step 03 · Fit off
    Step 3 · Fit

    Old alarms down, photoelectric alarms up.

    Drop sheets down, old alarms off the ceiling and photoelectric alarms fitted to AS 3786. Most 3 bed homes take under 90 minutes.

    • Photoelectric only
    • AS 3786
    • Under 90 minutes
    • Photoelectric alarms pick up smouldering fires much faster than ionisation.
    • We leave it cleaner than we found it.
  4. Illustrative: electrician pressing a smoke alarm test button while the next alarm down the hall lights up and the homeowner laughs with her hands over her ears
    Step 04 · Interconnect
    Step 4 · Link

    One alarm goes off, they all go off.

    Every alarm is interconnected, by RF link or hardwiring, so smoke in one room sets off the alarms through the whole house.

    • RF linked
    • Or hardwired
    • Whole house warning
    • Interconnected alarms are part of what Tasmanian smoke alarm law requires.
    • With 10 year sealed lithium, it's set and forget for a decade.

    Step 05 · Certificate
    Step 5 · Certificate

    • Dated certificate
    • Agent and insurer
    • Emailed same day
    • For rentals we schedule around tenants and can bill the agent direct.
    • Property managers across NW Tas use us for portfolios.

Jeremy and his team went above and beyond, switched our heating to a cheaper tariff, timed our hot water, and recommended a heat pump that cut our heating costs by 30%. Family-first, energy-smart, and genuinely local.

Questions

Smoke alarm questions, answered clearly.

Photoelectric alarms on every level of the home, in every bedroom and in hallways serving bedrooms. Interconnected so when one goes off, they all go off. 10-year sealed lithium or 240V hardwired, battery-only 9V alarms are no longer compliant for rentals or new builds.

Yes, Tasmanian rental law requires working compliant alarms at every tenancy change, and most insurers and property managers require an annual or biennial written compliance check. We provide a dated certificate suitable for the agent and insurer.

Photoelectric alarms detect smouldering fires (the kind that actually kill people in bedrooms at night) much faster. Ionisation is being phased out, we only install photoelectric and follow the AS 3786 standard.

Hardwired-interconnected with battery backup is the gold standard and what we recommend for new builds and major renos. 10-year sealed lithium interconnected (RF-linked) is excellent retrofit option, no rewiring, full compliance, set-and-forget for a decade.

A 3-bed single-storey RF-interconnected retrofit is typically $590-$890 supply + install. Hardwired upgrades depend on ceiling access. We quote fixed-price before starting.
