WA smoke alarm requirements

In Western Australia, mains-powered smoke alarms are required when selling, transferring or renting a home, and must be no more than 10 years old. Only a licensed electrical contractor can connect mains-powered alarms - the full rules are on the WA Building & Energy smoke alarm laws page. We’ll make sure your property is compliant and correctly protected.

Combine with a safety check

Installing smoke alarms is a great time to book an electrical safety inspection and check your RCD safety switches.

Frequently asked questions

Are smoke alarms compulsory in WA?

Yes. WA law requires mains-powered smoke alarms complying with AS 3786 to be fitted when a home is built, sold or rented. Volt Hub installs and certifies compliant hard-wired alarms across Perth’s northern suburbs.

How often should smoke alarms be replaced?

Every 10 years. The manufacture or expiry date is printed on the alarm body — if yours is past it, has no date, or chirps even with a fresh battery, it is due for replacement.

Can I install a smoke alarm myself?

Battery-only alarms, yes. Mains-powered (240V) smoke alarms are fixed electrical wiring and must be installed by a licensed electrician. Volt Hub (EC16248) installs interconnected hard-wired alarms to current standards.
