Try this tonight: stand in your bedroom with the door shut, and get someone to set off the smoke alarm at the far end of the house. Modern homes are well insulated and well sealed, and a lot of people are shocked at how little they hear — a faint beeping that might not cut through a fan heater, let alone deep sleep.
Now flip it around. A fire starts in the garage or the downstairs lounge at 2am. The alarm down there does its job perfectly and screams into an empty room, while everyone sleeps two closed doors and a staircase away. By the time smoke reaches the hallway alarm outside the bedrooms, you've lost minutes you didn't have.
Interconnected alarms fix this one weakness. They're normal photoelectric alarms with one extra trick: when any alarm triggers, every alarm in the house sounds at full volume at the same moment. The fire can start in the laundry and the alarm right above your bed still wakes you. That's the whole idea, and it works.
Building or renovating? New builds now need interconnected alarms to meet Building Code clause F7 — and consented renovations often do too. We work alongside builders across Christchurch and can handle the sign-off paperwork.
Wireless systems install in about an hour with zero mess — the alarms pair with each other and that's that. If you're already getting other electrical work done, hardwired interconnection can ride along for less than you'd think.
Tell us about your place and we'll come back with a fixed price — usually the same day. Or just call and we'll sort it on the phone.
