A smoke detector is used to determine whether there is smoke within a building and will trigger an audible warning if one is detected.
A smoke detector consists of two parts – A sensor to detect smoke and a horn to alert people to the presence of smoke. Most smoke detectors operate using either a "battery only" system or a 240V mains power supply with a battery backup (i.e. hard-wired).
There are a few different types of smoke alarms available. These include photoelectric alarms, ionisation alarms, carbon monoxide detectors and heat detectors.
Photoelectric alarms have the ability to detect fire through dust or visible particles that can be caused by smouldering fires. They are highly reliable and are less likely to cause false alarms. Photoelectric smoke alarms have been the only type recommended by Australian Fire Authorities, Fire Brigades and the International Association of Fire Fighters.
Ionisation alarms, on the other hand, can usually detect particles of smoke through fast flaming fires which is what makes them slightly less popular. As compared to the photoelectric alarm, these ones are slower; and slow smoke alarms can cause a lot of damage to the house and you.
Smoke detectors should be installed in every bedroom, living room, kitchen and bathroom. You should also install one outside every sleeping area (e.g., hallway). If you live in an apartment, you should place them near the doorways.
To get effective results, it is best to call qualified electricians who know exactly where to put your smoke detector. Forever Electrical will ensure that your devices are placed away from any sources of heat, air conditioning, fans, and other electrical installations.

We had an electrical emergency tonight and was recommended Matthew from Forever Electrical. He was prompt, super friendly and super professional. He talked us through the issue and what he did to resolve it.
Highly recommend him to anyone and everyone! Fantastic service!!
Absolutely stoked with how the job turned out. Easy to communicate with, arrived at the agreed time. Particular with presentation and gave us excellent advice surrounding the lighting and customised options. Pricing was on point but more importantly he takes pride in the work he does.
Our new go to electrician.... If it isn't already clear highly recommended.
Matt and his team worked tirelessly on our new wiring, switchboard, electrical and light fixtures. Both he and his boys were extremely courteous and very focused on the job. Would never hesitate in recommending them to other people.
Great job Matt, thanks for everything.
Matt and his team did a great job, I would definitely recommend them to anyone, very efficient!
I’ve used Forever Electrical on several occasions, they are always responsive to my call, arrive when they say they will, inform me what the problem is and they do a quality job at a reasonable fee.
A real 5 ⭐️ Local Business
I fully recommend Matt. He came out on a Saturday and fixed my hot water system. Quick excellent service and explained the process. Thank you Matt
Would highly recommend. Easy to deal with, on time and great service. We’re stoked with the work that was done. Only downside, Matt’s dad jokes are terrible.
