EasyFit™ Smoke Alarms – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is EasyFit™?
EasyFit™ is an Australian-owned brand offering photoelectric, wireless interconnected smoke alarms designed for fast, DIY installation. Our mission is to make smoke alarm compliance simple, safe, and hassle-free for Australian households.
Are EasyFit smoke alarms compliant with Australian Standards?
Yes. EasyFit smoke alarms are photoelectric and tested to AS 3786:2014, the required standard for smoke alarms in Australia.
Important: Some homes — particularly new builds or major renovations — may require hardwired smoke alarms by law. Always check your local state requirements.
Do I need an electrician to install EasyFit alarms?
No. EasyFit alarms come with a sealed 10-year battery and wireless interconnection, meaning you can install them yourself in minutes using the included mounting plate and screws.
If local regulations require hardwired alarms in your home, a licensed electrician must handle those installations.
What is a photoelectric smoke alarm?
Photoelectric alarms use light-sensing technology to detect smouldering fires early — the most common type of house fire. They are recommended by Australian fire services and required in several states.
How do EasyFit alarms interconnect?
EasyFit smoke alarms use secure wireless RF technology to communicate with one another.
Once paired, when one alarm detects smoke, all alarms in the group sound, giving you the earliest possible warning.
How long does the battery last?
Each alarm includes a sealed 10-year lithium battery. This means:
- No battery changes
- No 9V replacements
- No low-battery chirping for many years
The alarm itself must be replaced after 10 years.
Where should I install smoke alarms in my home?
Fire authorities recommend installing alarms in:
- Every bedroom
- Hallways connecting bedrooms
- Living rooms
- Each level of your home
Queensland law requires this in most properties. Other states strongly recommend this layout, even if not mandatory.
Are EasyFit alarms suitable for Queensland 2022–2027 regulations?
EasyFit alarms meet the technical requirements for many QLD homes (photoelectric, interconnected, 10-year battery).
However:
- Some properties must have hardwired alarms depending on: build date, renovation status, and whether or not there is an existing installation of hardwired alarms.
- Always check your property’s exact requirements before installation.
Do you sell a remote control? What does it do?
Yes — the EasyFit Remote Control is an optional extra that lets you:
- Test all alarms at once
- Silence alarms
- Run system checks
- Avoid climbing ladders or accessing high ceilings
It pairs instantly with EasyFit smoke alarms.
How do I know if my existing smoke alarms need replacing?
Smoke alarms must be replaced every 10 years.
If your alarm is yellowing, chirping irregularly, or is older than a decade, it’s time to upgrade.
What’s included with each EasyFitalarm?
Each alarm comes with:
- EasyFit smoke alarm unit
- Mounting plate
- Screws & wall plugs
- Quick Start Guide
How do I silence a nuisance alarm?
EasyFit alarms include a Hush Button that temporarily silences the alarm for approximately 10 minutes while still monitoring for danger.
What if my alarm keeps beeping?
Common reasons include:
- Low battery alert (after many years)
- Fault condition
- End-of-life warning
- Environmental triggers like dust or steam
Refer to your manual or visit our Support Hub for troubleshooting videos.
Do you offer a warranty?
Yes — all EasyFit alarms come with a 2-year replacement warranty.
If you experience any issues, simply contact our support team.
How do I pair multiple EasyFit alarms together?
Pairing takes seconds:
- Press the Pair button on the first alarm
- Press the Pair button on each additional alarm
- The alarms confirm pairing with a light indicator
A full step-by-step video is available in our Support Hub.
Can landlords use EasyFit alarms for rental compliance?
In many cases, yes — especially in states where battery-powered photoelectric interconnected alarms are acceptable.
However, rental laws vary by state.
Always check your local legislation.
How long does shipping take?
Orders are shipped from Australia with same-day or next-business-day dispatch.
Delivery times depend on your location, but most orders arrive within 2–5 business days.
