Which Smoke Alarm Should I Get?

Short answer: a photoelectric smoke alarm, hard-wired to mains power with a backup battery, and interconnected with the other alarms in the house. Fire services across Australia recommend photoelectric alarms.

Interconnected alarms mean one going off sets them all off, so you hear it wherever you are in the house, not only in the room where the smoke is.

Hard-Wired Or Battery Only

A hard-wired alarm runs from mains power and keeps a battery as backup. The Voltex range we stock includes hard-wired photoelectric alarms with a 10-year lithium backup battery, with or without a wireless module for interconnect.

A sealed battery-only alarm with wireless interconnect suits places where running new cable is hard. We work out which fits your building as part of the quote.

Warranty Needs A Licensed Install

Each Voltex listing in our catalogue shows its warranty. The warranty depends on the alarm being installed by a licensed electrician, so a fitted alarm keeps its cover.

The Voltex Range We Supply And Install

We sell and install Voltex from our own stock. See every model, with its specs and warranty, in our smoke alarms catalogue. Add the ones you like to your list and we will quote to supply and install.

Questions Alice Springs customers ask

What type of smoke alarm should I install?

A photoelectric smoke alarm, hard-wired to mains power with a backup battery and interconnected with the other alarms. Fire services across Australia recommend photoelectric alarms.

What does interconnected mean?

When one alarm goes off, they all go off, so you hear it wherever you are in the house.

Can I have interconnected alarms without new cabling?

Yes. Battery-only alarms with wireless interconnect suit places where running new cable is hard, and some hard-wired alarms have a wireless module built in.

Do I need an electrician to install a smoke alarm?

Yes, for a 240V hard-wired smoke alarm. Wiring it to mains is electrical work and in the NT must be done by a licensed electrician.
