SMOKE ALARM SERVICES

We specialist in smoke alarm compliance services, including maintenance and upgrades!   Send us a work order and we will promptly arrange smoke alarm services:

• at the start of a new tenancy or lease renewal, or
• when tenants tell you about malfunctioning smoke alarms,

For assistance with common smoke alarm problems and causes of false activations, please refer your tenants to our handy FAQs page!

Please don't hesitate to contact us for copies of our handy instruction sheets that have been designed to assist tenants in dealing with false activations at upgraded properties!

 

Depending on what you want us to do, we can:

• list the property on our Annual Compliance Program and perform as many checks and services as you need for a full year, at no additional cost! Or,
• conduct a smoke alarm service on a one-off basis.

How our Annual Compliance Program works:

When you first list a property on our Annual Compliance Program (ACP), we conduct a smoke alarm compliance check and service and enter the details on our database.

Properties are subsequently renewed at the same time every year, similar to an insurance policy. 

We send you a list monthly to advise which properties are due for renewal on our Program.  You simply tell us which properties you no longer manage and pay the annual renewal fee for the remaining properties.

While a property is listed on our ACP, we provide:

• Unlimited smoke alarm compliance checks and maintenance services.
• Free replacement of faulty or expired smoke alarms. *
• Free replacement of batteries, where required.
• A detailed smoke alarm compliance report for each service.
• One free safety switch test per year.
• Free water meter readings for new tenancies (at your request).

 

* Does not include damaged or missing smoke alarms.

* Does not include smoke alarms not installed by us whilst covered by manufacturer warranty.  

* Additional costs apply to replace smoke alarms not installed by Quickcheck (at properties upgraded to new standards)

* Does not cover incorrect installations by other electricians or troubleshooting and rectification of electrical issues.
* Additional costs apply to replace smoke alarms not installed by Quickcheck (at upgraded properties)

* Additional costs apply to replace faulty smoke alarms installed by Quickcheck that are no longer covered by manufacturer warranty (at upgraded properties)
* Does not include an out of hours service or the cost of another contractor to attend out of hours

* Red Smoke Alarms are installed at $165 per smoke alarm, where required. 
* In some cases, quotes can be provided to replace other brands including PSA,  Brooks, Clipsal & Emerald smoke alarms.

WE ALSO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL SERVICES!

We can provide additional services at any time, or conveniently provide them at the same time as the smoke alarm compliance check for a new lease:

• Our team of licensed electricians provide a full range of maintenance electrical services.  We specialise in the replacement of faulty, broken or non-functioning electrical fittings. We love the non-urgent, small jobs that other electricians don't want.
• Our safety switch tests are conducted by licensed electricians who generate a fault (not just press a test button) to make sure that the safety switch will protect tenants.
• Our light bulb replacement service will assure you that all light bulbs are working at the time of a new lease. Our team of electricians carries a wide range of the most commonly used light bulbs and we are able to source and replace those specialty and uncommon bulbs that may be part of your responsibility in maintaining the property.
• Our blind cord compliance service ensures that window furnishing cords in the properties you manage meet the new safety standards and do not pose a danger to tenants.
• Our water meter reading service provides a non-biased, third party water meter reading that you can rely on should a dispute over water usage at the property arise.
