Understanding Your Smoke Alarms Tragically, each year in Australia there are over 10,000 house fires resulting in more than 70 deaths, 1,500 injuries and millions of dollars worth of property damage. These kinds of fires happen all too frequently, and the fact is, they happen fast. A house can be razed to the ground in less than 15 minutes. That’s why it’s essential for every home to be fitted with a sufficient number of appropriate, and suitably placed, mains powered smoke alarms. Standards mandate the installation of at least one smoke alarm in every home, however you need to carefully consider whether one is enough. Clipsal recommends the installation of multiple smoke alarms in your home - the positioning will be dependant on the your floorplan. Installing a high-quality smoke alarm ensures peace of mind by offering you 24-hour a day protection for your family and home against fire and smoke. The early warning that a smoke alarm provides means less chance of major damage and, more importantly, less chance of lives being lost. It is also worth talking to your electrician about the merits of interconnecting your smoke alarms and installing a 756 Isolation Unit to activate lights in case of fire which assists with warning you of potential danger if the alarm cannot be heard. Choosing the Right Smoke Alarm for added Peace of Mind Choose high-quality alarms from a reputable supplier (Clipsal FireTek® recommended). Install multiple alarms and have them interconnected for the best protection. Ensure your alarms are installed by a professional installer. Choose the correct alarm type for the location. Smoke alarms work either by optical detection (photoelectric) or by physical process (ionisation). Photoelectric type smoke alarms are best suited to bedrooms and lounge and living areas. Ionisation type smoke alarms are typically installed in hallways, corridors and home offices. Test alarm operation and clean the unit regularly (minimum once per month). Check battery condition regularly (minimum once per month). 14 Clipsal Residential Safety and Security Solutions
