Smoke Alarm Testing Services

Our experienced technicians perform detailed smoke alarm testing in accordance with AS 3786, the Australian Standard for residential fire alarms. We inspect all types of smoke alarms, from battery-powered to hardwired models, to ensure they function properly and are correctly positioned.

This goes well beyond a simple button press. We assess sensor responsiveness, battery condition, placement accuracy, expiry dates, and overall unit health. If your alarm is faulty or outdated, we’ll advise you and can organise a replacement to ensure your property remains fully compliant. With Jim’s, you can be confident your smoke alarms are tested properly and thoroughly.

Landlord & Real Estate Compliance

If you manage rental properties, annual smoke alarm testing is a legal requirement in every state and territory. Landlords and property managers must ensure alarms are tested at least once every 12 months and also between each change of tenancy. Failing to meet these obligations can result in fines or legal liability in the event of a fire.

Jim’s makes compliance simple by managing your testing schedule and providing detailed reports after every inspection. We offer tailored packages for real estate agencies and property managers, with scheduled reminders and flexible booking options to suit your needs.

How Often Should Smoke Alarms Be Tested?

It is recommended that smoke alarms be tested by a professional at least once every year. For rental properties, alarms should also be tested between tenancies. Smoke alarm batteries must be replaced regularly and all alarms must be fully replaced every 10 years. 

Jim’s Test & Tag will help you stay on top of these requirements with reliable scheduling, detailed reporting, and proactive reminders.
