FAQs

Most smoke alarms should be replaced every 10 years from the manufacture date, even if they appear to be working normally.

Yes. Interconnected smoke alarms provide earlier warning because all alarms activate at once. This is especially beneficial in larger homes or homes with bedrooms located far from living areas.

They should be installed on every level of the home and between sleeping areas and living spaces. Proper placement ensures faster detection and better protection.

This is usually due to a low battery, dust inside the unit, or the alarm reaching the end of its lifespan. If replacing the battery doesn’t fix it, it may need servicing or replacement.

Hardwired smoke alarm installation must be completed by a licensed electrician. This ensures safe connection to your electrical system and long-term reliability.

I was connecting 3 phases to my house with the First Choice Electrical. Good communication and fast responses and good organisation from Ryan. Good quality and clean work (replacing ceiling fans, several switches, switchboard upgrade, 3 phases connection) from Zain (electrician), no issues after installations.
A bit higher final invoice compared to initial quote with estimations costs which is expected, but other than that happy with organisation and job done.
Thank you.
Response from the owner 07:56 24 Sep 25
Thank you, Andrii, for your kind words! We’re glad to hear that you had a positive experience with Ryan and the team, and we appreciate your understanding regarding the final invoice. Unfortunately, the previous electrician installed the ceiling fans without any timber supports in the ceiling (scary stuff), they are now installed correctly. Your satisfaction means a lot to us!

Incredibly professional, having worked in the industry myself for the last 20 years, I found First Choice to move then live up to their name. Brent, my sparkey, was on time, went out of his way by sourcing and installing additional lighting product to complete the installation. He was fast, thorough and utterly professional. Andrew, who the original call, was immediate in scheduling my job with no fuss. I’ll be using these guys as my preferred service providers.
