🔥 Why Every Traralgon Home Should Upgrade to 10-Year Smoke Alarms

Time to upgrade? Iridium Electricians recommends 10-year lithium smoke alarms for every Gippsland home.

When it comes to protecting your home and your loved ones, few things are more important than a working smoke alarm.

Yet too many Gippsland households are still relying on outdated, unreliable alarms that may not protect them in a real emergency.

At Iridium Electricians, we believe safety shouldn’t be left to chance. That’s why we’re encouraging all local homeowners to upgrade to 10-year lithium battery smoke alarms — a simple, affordable upgrade that could save lives.

🚨 The Hidden Danger in Your Ceiling

You might not think about your smoke alarms often — and that’s the problem. Many are:

Over 10 years old
Missing or flat batteries
Installed in the wrong spots
Not up to today’s safety standards

Some homes still rely on old 9V battery models that need changing every year. All too often, those batteries are removed or forgotten — leaving your home unprotected.

✅ What Makes 10-Year Smoke Alarms Better?

Upgrading isn’t just about meeting code — it’s about peace of mind:

🔋 Sealed lithium battery lasts 10 years
🧠 No annual battery swaps
✅ Complies with Australian standards
🔊 Loud and reliable alerts
📏 Sleek and modern design

🏠 What the Law Says in Victoria

In Victoria, smoke alarms are mandatory in all residential properties. Here’s what’s required:

At least one smoke alarm on each level
Alarms near all sleeping areas
Hardwired alarms in homes built since 1997
For rentals, landlords must test alarms every year

We help you stay compliant — and most importantly, safe.
