Australia’s largest provider of smoke alarm compliance services revealed that it carries out 2,000 compliance inspections every day.

Smoke Alarm Solutions (SAS), which celebrates its 10th anniversary next month, provides risk mitigation for property managers, landlords and home owners, whilst also increasing awareness of their obligations.

Julieanne Worchurst, Australia and New Zealand Sales and Marketing Director, said: “Smoke Alarm Solutions technicians carry-out 2,000 compliance inspections every day across Australia and has completed over two million inspections since its inception and currently inspects 267,000 properties annually.”

Ms Worchurst said the company become popular in New South Wales due to legislation changes taking place in 2006. 

“The changes meant landlords and home owners were responsible for installing smoke alarms in their properties, making ongoing maintenance a necessity too.” 

Ms Worchurst said one of the strengths of SAS is their clear direction and education about changes and updates to smoke alarm legislation. This has included attending REINSW and REIQ events to share relevant information.

“We regularly hold free information workshops to help inform property managers about their responsibilities and risk associated with non-compliance. 

“We also aim to educate property managers on any imminent changes to state or federal legislation so there is ample time to prepare.”

SAS offers a comprehensive and cost effective $99 annual smoke alarm service which assures property managers and landlords their investment is safe and tenants are protected. 

All required compliance inspections (at lease renewal and for faulty or beeping smoke alarms requiring attention) are covered under the annual service fee, as well as the cost to install or replace smoke alarms, should they be required to deem the property compliant.
