As a real estate agent or property manager, keeping your properties safe and compliant is more than just a responsibility—it’s a legal requirement. Smoke alarms play a vital role in protecting lives and meeting tenancy regulations, but they need to be properly installed, regularly maintained, and routinely checked to remain effective. That’s where smoke alarm servicing comes in.
At Smoke Alarm Masters, we work closely with real estate professionals across Australia to provide fast, reliable, and fully compliant smoke alarm solutions. Whether you manage a few properties or hundreds, this guide outlines exactly what you need to know.
Smoke alarms aren’t a “set and forget” solution. Over time, dust and insects can affect their sensitivity, batteries can fail, and alarms can simply reach the end of their lifespan. That’s why legislation in most Australian states requires smoke alarms to be tested at least once every 12 months and replaced every 10 years.
Failing to maintain a compliant smoke alarm system can put tenants at risk and leave property owners exposed to legal action or fines. For real estate agents, staying ahead of smoke alarm maintenance isn’t just good practice—it’s essential for your reputation and your clients’ peace of mind.
Our expert technicians follow a detailed checklist to ensure every property is compliant and every alarm is functioning properly. Each smoke alarm service includes:
Testing the alarm’s functionality using certified methods
Cleaning alarms to remove dust, cobwebs, and insects
Replacing expired or faulty smoke alarms
Installing photoelectric smoke alarms where required
Replacing batteries (9V or 10-year lithium, depending on the model)
Checking for correct alarm placement and interconnection
Providing a detailed digital compliance certificate
Our reports are ready to be shared with property owners, tenants, or auditors—ensuring full transparency and compliance.
Photoelectric smoke alarms are considered the safest and most reliable type for residential properties. They detect slow-smouldering fires—often caused by electrical faults or unattended appliances—faster than older ionisation models. They’re also less likely to cause false alarms due to cooking or steam.
Most Australian states now mandate the use of photoelectric smoke alarms in all new and rental properties. At Smoke Alarm Masters, we exclusively install photoelectric alarms that meet AS 3786:2014 standards for Australian homes.
Managing multiple rental properties can be overwhelming. That’s why we offer tailored solutions for real estate professionals:
Annual servicing plans

Same-day reports and compliance certificates
Priority scheduling
Flexible invoicing for agencies
We make smoke alarm compliance simple and affordable, so you can focus on what you do best—serving your clients and growing your business.
