Keep your home safe, functional, and future-ready.

Smoke alarms are an essential safety device for your home. In 2009 it became compulsory for all residential buildings being sold or rented to have smoke alarms fitted. Mains powered smoke alarms are wired into your homes electrical system and have to be installed by a licensed electrical contractor. All smoke alarms have a recognised service life of 10 years before they become unreliable. Smoke alarms therefore need to be changed every 10 years. For safety reasons, smoke alarms are fitted with a battery back-up. When the battery requires replacing, a warning beep will sound every 60 seconds for a minimum of 7 days.

All smoke alarms are fitted with a test switch and FESA recommends all units should be tested monthly.  If you are unable to do this yourself or find the smoke alarm does not sound, please call our office for one of our electricians to attend.

Please contact us by calling our office or sending an email for further information. An additional charge for travel may apply for some areas.

As of the 1st July 2008, all electrical contractors must supply an electrical safety certificate within 28 days of their service. This certificate guarantees your work was safely performed by licensed electrical contractors and complies with regulation standards. Certificates are issued for all electrical installations (excluding repairs) completed on residential, commercial, industrial and institutional premises. No matter how small your job is, we recommend you request a certificate for your records. For more information go to www.commerce.wa.gov.au

A 12 month warranty applies to all labour. Parts are covered by the manufacturer’s warranty and repair or replacement is made at the manufacturers discretion.

RCDs are safety devices designed to prevent death by electric shock. These devices monitor the flow of electricity within a circuit. If the amount of electricity flowing into a circuit exceeds the amount leaving, the RCD automatically cuts the electricity supply within 10 to 50 milliseconds of detection. An RCD is a life-saving investment for your family. To effectively reduce the risk of electric shock, RCD’s should be fitted to all power points and lighting circuits in your home. To reduce incidents of electric shock, the Western Australian Government changed RCD regulations in August 2009. The legislation demands every sold or leased home be fitted with a minimum of two RCDs, which must protect all power points and lighting circuits. To ensure that the RCD functions correctly, the test button must be pressed every three months. Pushing the test button simulates an earth leakage fault and indicates if the device operates correctly. Electrical clocks and timing devices may need to be reset after the test button has been pushed and the RCD turned back on. If your RCD trips or will not reset, please don’t force it. There is either a fault on the circuit or with the RCD. Please contact us for an urgent appointment.  If an appliance you need is on the problem circuit, try running an extension cord to another power point until we can sort out the fault for you.
