Smoke Alarm Compliance for Sydney Rentals

Under NSW residential tenancy laws, landlords must ensure rental premises have working smoke alarms and that they are checked and maintained. Sydney Power Group (SPG) helps agents and landlords meet these obligations with professional testing, maintenance and replacement.

We install and service smoke alarms that comply with AS 3786, and can hardwire alarms where required. All work is documented so your agency has a clear record for each managed property.

Meeting NSW Tenancy Smoke Alarm Obligations

NSW residential tenancy rules require landlords to maintain working smoke alarms in rented homes, including replacing batteries and faulty units within set timeframes. SPG manages the testing and replacement cycle so you can demonstrate the obligation has been met.

We keep our advice accurate to the legislation and AS 3786 without guessing at penalties or dates, and we document every attendance for your records.

Testing, Replacement and Hardwiring

We test alarm function, replace expired or faulty units with AS 3786 compliant models, and can upgrade to hardwired, interconnected alarms where appropriate. Any wiring work is completed by our licensed electricians to current standards.

If an inspection reveals wider electrical issues, we can combine the visit with electrical safety checks or RCD testing to save a second trip.

Portfolio-Friendly Scheduling and Reporting

For agencies managing many properties, we can schedule alarm servicing across a portfolio and invoice directly to your office, with a documented report per property. Pair this with our property management electrician service for end-to-end coverage.
