Photoelectrical Smoke Alarms
Unlike ionisation smoke alarms, photoelectrical smoke alarms detect visible particles of combustion. This means that they perform better at detecting smouldering fires and burning materials common in Australian households. Because photoelectric alarms “see” smoke, they are also less likely to malfunction or trigger false alarms like ionisation alarms do when placed near kitchens and bathrooms.
Advantages of Photoelectrical Smoke Detectors
- Higher sensitivity to smoke
- More accurate than ionisation smoke alarms
- Less prone to malfunction
- Recommended by Fire & Rescue NSW
Interconnected Smoke Detection Systems
For large and multi-story homes especially, interconnected alarm systems are highly recommended. With an interconnected alarm system, each smoke detector in your home is connected ensuring that no matter where the fire is located, all alarms will sound.
At O’Brien Electrical Port Macquarie we’re able to install and test interconnected smoke detection systems for both homes and businesses throughout the greater Hastings area.

For homeowners, under Environmental Planning and Assessment Regulation 2000, at least one working smoke alarm must be installed on each level in all buildings in NSW where people sleep.
Landlords must ensure that alarms are installed within the premise and to standards and regulation. For smoke alarms with replaceable batteries, landlords are required to replace the battery at the start of the tenancy. This also applies to homeowners who rent property out as holiday homes.
