smoke alarms Smoke Alarms save lives.

If a properly maintained smoke alarm is installed reports indicate that the risk of death by house fires is significantly reduced by more than half.

It is recommended by the Queensland Fire and Emergency Services that:

  • Residential accommodation be fitted with photoelectric type smoke alarms
  • To be either hard wired or powered by a 10 year lithium battery
  • To be located at each level of living space, outside each bedroom and in every bedroom
  • All smoke alarms should be interconnected Property Owners/managers have a legal obligation to install smoke alarms that comply with Australian Standards outside sleeping areas and one on each level of the dwelling.

From 1st May 2014 all new buildings submitted for approval must have hard wired and interconnected smoke alarms. Australian Standards requires that Smoke Alarms have a recommended service life of at least 10 years under normal conditions of use. Queensland Fire and Emergency Services recommend that the Smoke Alarm be replaced before the end of its service life.

Maintaining Smoke Alarms

  • Check battery once per month by pressing button.
  • Replace and flat or nearly flat batteries
  • Keep smoke alarms clean – dust can interfere with operation
  • Replace battery every 12 months

Have you had solar installed but not had a chance to review the electricity tariffs that you are on?  Depending which feed in tariff you have it may be more cost efficient to change some appliances to day time use (Tariff 11), therefore using the solar electricity generated.  This would be true for your electrical hot water system and pool pumps that don’t need to run 24/7.  Whereas previously, to be cost efficient these items would have been on Tariff 33 or 31 the economy tariffs which have a cheaper rate than tariff 11. 

To make the most you are getting the most out of your solar give Rolly a call today to discuss.  We can review your electricity account to help you work out if you should change Tariff’s to make the most of your solar system.

]]> Do you have a breaker that keeps tripping?

If you have a circuit breaker / safety switch that keeps tripping, most of the time it won’t be the breaker at fault.  It is probably responding to a condition elsewhere on the circuit it is protecting ie a faulty appliance.  You can quite often diagnose the problem yourself.

Start by turning off and unplugging every electrical appliance in the house.  Note everything needs to be UNPLUGGED including the fridge.  Then gradually plug everything back in one at a time.   Once it trips again you will have found the faulty appliance.

If the tripping is not immediate, high-wattage items like a microwave or hairdryer when running along with a few lights for awhile are probably too much for the circuit. If these “overloads” can’t be avoided by limiting the use of other things on the circuit, a new separate circuit for the heavy item is the only solution.  Many hair dryers, however, have a lower-watt setting on them; using that might help.

Occasionally a faulty breaker will be the problem and you will need an electrician to replace it.  Give Rolly a call on 04103750978 if you have any questions.

DID YOU KNOW
A safety switch will detect any loss of power associated with electric shock and stop the flow of electricity in less than 40 milliseconds, which could save your life.

How long since you have tested your safety switch?

They should be tested approximately every 3 months. You can do this by pressing the ‘test’ or ‘T’ button.

The power should switch off if its working correctly.

We found one the other day which hadn’t been installed long that wasn’t working.

Remember that the use of safety switches doesn’t mean you need to be less careful when around electricity.
