We assess the floor plan, existing alarms, ceiling access, power and practical alarm positions before setting the scope. The quote covers the agreed alarms, wiring, interconnection, testing and electrical safety certificate. For alarm types, placement, rental requirements and replacement details, see the full detail on smoke alarms.
With around 1147 residents per square kilometre, Tecoma properties frequently have a separate wing or a converted space that the original alarm layout never covered. At roughly 220 metres, Tecoma is in the ranges. Wood heating is common at this elevation, and a wood heater in a living area changes where a photoelectric alarm should and should not go.
At roughly 33 kilometres out, Tecoma has larger floor plans, which means more alarms and a longer interconnection run. Being part of Yarra Ranges, Tecoma follows the state requirements rather than anything local. Rental properties carry the annual test and ten-year replacement obligations.
We work across Belgrave, Belgrave Heights and Ferny Creek on the same trip, and Tecoma sits in the middle of that loop. Tecoma covers about 1.8 square kilometres of Yarra Ranges. The 2021 census put the population at 2064, and the postcode is 3160.
The suburbs we work alongside Tecoma are Belgrave, Belgrave Heights, Ferny Creek and Lysterfield, and all of them are quoted on the same basis. Our workshop is in Boronia, 7.1 kilometres south-east of Tecoma. That proximity is the whole reason we can hold a fixed quote rather than pricing in the unknown.

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.

No. The run from Boronia to Tecoma is about 7.1 kilometres south-east, which is well inside our regular patch, so there is nothing added for travel.
The neighbouring suburbs we work are Belgrave, Belgrave Heights, Ferny Creek and Lysterfield. A Tecoma booking often slots into a run we already have through them.
The council is Yarra Ranges and the postcode is 3160. Ordinary work here needs no council permit, only licensed work and a safety certificate.
Every ten years from the manufacture date printed on the unit, regardless of whether it still tests fine. Batteries in non-sealed units get changed annually.
Tell us about the property, existing alarms and any rental requirements. We’ll assess the layout, access and interconnection options, then provide a clear installation quote. Book an assessment or call our Boronia crew to discuss the work.
