THE PROBLEM

An alarm that only sounds in the hallway wakes the hallway

Fires at 2am don't wait for smoke to drift to the one alarm outside the bedrooms. Interconnected alarms all sound together — the garage alarm wakes the back bedroom.

We install photoelectric units (the type that catches smouldering fires early), hardwired with battery backup, positioned to the standard — and we handle rental compliance for landlords.

GOOD TO KNOW

Where alarms go, and why it matters

AS 3786 placement isn't bureaucracy — it's fire physics. Smoke pools at the ceiling and spreads along it, so alarms belong on ceilings, away from corners where dead air sits, away from ceiling fans that push smoke aside, and out of kitchens where toast becomes a nightly false alarm that trains you to pull the battery. Every level needs one; every hallway serving bedrooms needs one; larger homes benefit from one inside each bedroom.

Interconnection is the multiplier. In a closed-door house — and fire services recommend sleeping with doors closed — a hallway alarm can take precious minutes to wake someone behind a bedroom door at the far end. Interconnected alarms all fire together, everywhere, the moment one detects smoke. In a 2am fire, those minutes are the whole game.

Closed doors save lives in a fire — interconnection makes sure they don't cost you the warning.

Excellent service! The team arrived on time and completed the installation efficiently and up to scratch. Everything was done neatly, with great attention to detail. Ryan and Jack are top blokes and easy to deal with. Highly recommended!

Jeffrey Belvez · Glen Waverley

Absolutely fantastic service and work done! The boys were super accommodating, answered any questions I had without a problem, left everything neat and tidy and overall did an amazing job installing our battery and inverter. Cannot recommend enough.

Isaac Giblett · Battery + inverter

Zak and Ryan did a amazing job. Even with the obstacles of a double story home with a internal switch board they persevered in the heat and got the job done. Thanks guys we realy appreciate your work and polite attitude.

Stephen S · Switchboard

Luke and his team installed our solar panels over the space of 2 days. Great service arrived on time and communicated well, took away all rubbish made sure the place was left tidy and walked me through the app and next steps. Would highly reccomend!

Christie V · Solar install

Ryan and Jack did a great job doing the electrical work on my new 4 head split system. They got the job done in no time, and my split systems were up and running. Once connected, Ryan made sure all 4 heads were working. Thanks guys, great job!

James "Mitchi" Mitch · Split system

The experience is very nice with them. Specially Roy and Jack did their best. We are so much happy about their service. They heard every single word of us and suggest us which is good and why. Highly recommend

A NOTE FROM LUKE

Most of what's wrong with this industry comes down to one thing: the person selling isn't the person installing.

I'm a licensed A-Grade electrician, and so is everyone who'll be on your roof or in your switchboard. When we quote your home, we're quoting work we'll do ourselves — which is why we'll happily talk you out of gear you don't need.

If you're thinking about getting off gas, call us. Worst case, you'll hang up knowing more than you did.
