Common Questions

Smoke Alarm Questions We Get All the Time

Inside Christchurch, none — the prices here are the full job. The honest exceptions: properties outside the city (Rangiora, Rolleston and friends carry a small travel component we state when you book), unusually high ceilings needing scaffold rather than a ladder, and hardwired work where the existing wiring turns out to be faulty. In every case you hear the number before we start, never after.

The store sells you the alarm. We bring the alarm plus the placement knowledge, the correct type for each spot, the disposal of your old units, the testing, the dated record, and a registered electrician where wiring's involved. Also worth comparing honestly: our $149 single includes a quality 10-year sealed photoelectric unit that retails around half that price alone — the installation premium is smaller than it first looks.

Yes — landlords and property managers with multiple rentals get portfolio rates on both compliance checks and alarm supply. Same for whole-street new build handovers with builders. Call us with the numbers and we'll sharpen the pencil.

We'd rather you didn't, and here's the honest reason: we warranty what we install, and we can't stand behind an unknown unit from an unknown box. If you've already bought decent photoelectric alarms we'll usually fit them — installation-only pricing on request — but the package deals with our supplied units are nearly always better value once you do the maths.
