Smoke alarms for Watsonia’s mix of homes
Owners who have bought an older house to renovate often find alarms painted over, disconnected or missing entirely. Replacing them early in the project means the household is protected while the work goes on around them.
In units and townhouses, alarms near the stairs and outside bedrooms matter most, while in single-storey older homes the main question is often simply whether the alarms are still working at all.
Having a functioning smoke alarm is crucial to the safety of your property. Watsonia’s mix of older houses, townhouses and units means alarm needs vary – from a single old battery alarm in a post-war home to multi-level townhouses where interconnection makes sense.
Many Watsonia properties are also rentals, and rental providers have specific smoke alarm obligations.
The CFA has practical home fire safety guidance for every household.
