Smoke Alarms in Sydney

Working smoke alarms save lives, and NSW law requires them in residential buildings. Sydney Power Group (SPG) supplies, installs and repairs smoke alarms in both common areas and individual units across Sydney apartment blocks and unit complexes.

We fit alarms that comply with AS 3786 and help owners corporations meet their NSW smoke alarm obligations, coordinating access to units with residents and the strata manager to keep disruption low.

NSW Smoke Alarm Obligations

NSW legislation requires working smoke alarms to be installed in residential premises. In strata buildings this can involve both common property and individual lots, so it is important to be clear about who is responsible for which alarms.

We help owners corporations and strata managers understand where common-property alarms sit versus lot alarms, and carry out installation and maintenance accordingly. We do not provide legal advice, but we install to the applicable standards.

AS 3786 Compliant Alarms

AS 3786 is the Australian Standard that smoke alarms must comply with. We supply and install alarms that meet this standard, including hardwired and interconnected options where a wired alarm system is required.

Where alarms tie into building wiring or shared circuits, our licensed electricians ensure the installation is safe and correctly connected.

Access and Reporting

Installing and testing alarms in occupied units takes coordination. We work with the strata manager to schedule access, issue resident notices and complete work efficiently across multiple lots in a single visit where possible.

You receive a documented record of alarms installed and tested. To arrange smoke alarm works for your building, call SPG on 0466 125 125 or book a free on-site quote.
