This free supply and installation offer applies only to our standard alarms (non-interconnected). We will only install free alarms that are required to meet legislation.
If you require more than four (4) alarms to be installed or an alarm to be installed that is not required to meet legislation, additional charges will apply for the supply and installation of those alarms. We reserve the right to modify this Policy at any time, and your continued use of our services constitutes your acceptance of any changes. Any alarms that are removed or damaged after a SATS visit will be subject to a replacement charge.
Can landlords undertake their own inspections and servicing of smoke alarms in their owned rental properties?
In some states they can, however they are not a specialist Smoke Alarm service provider. The complexities of positioning alarms to ensure the property complies with the Building Code of Australia and having the knowledge to ensure the smoke alarms are fully functional can be difficult for the average landlord. For instance, can the landlord check that the power supply is actually connected to the 240v alarm? Can the landlord check the decibel output of the alarm and that it is in the required range? Can the landlord check the manufacture and/or expiry date of the alarm?
There could be significant outcomes for the landlord if a fire should occur and the property is not compliant or the alarms have not been serviced in accordance with the legislation. Additionally, the landlords insurance on the property may be void if a failure to comply with all legislation is proven. It is far better risk management for a landlord to employ a specialist to ensure compliance and to protect their valuable asset and the lives of the occupants.
