Frequently Asked Questions

Generally, you should have your split-system cleaned every 12 months. However, it will depend on how much the unit is used and the environment it's in. We usually find that rooms with carpet or rooms subject to a lot of dust will require cleaning more often.

As of the 1st of January 2027, all existing private homes, townhouses, and units  will require interconnected photoelectric smoke alarms. 

Smoke alarms must be installed:

• on each storey
• in each bedroom
• in hallways that connect bedrooms and the rest of the dwelling

 - if there is no hallway, between the bedroom and other parts of the storey; and
- if there are no bedrooms on a storey, at least one smoke alarm must be installed in the most likely path of travel to exit the dwelling. 

Smoke alarms must: 

• be photoelectric.
• be interconnected with every other smoke alarm in the dwelling so all activate and go off together.
• comply with the Standard AS3786-2014 which is marked on the body of the alarm. To locate the marking, you may need to remove from the bracket to look underneath.
• not contain an ionisation sensor.
• be hardwired installed by a licensed electrician (e.g. 240v) to the mains power supply with a secondary power source (eg. non-removable 10-year battery, or a user-replaceable 9V battery) or;
• be powered by 10-year non-removable batteries type photoelectric smoke alarm that can be installed yourself.

Safety Switches (RCD's) are an essential part of your electrical installation. They are different to a Circuit Breaker and play an important role to keeping everyone safe. While Circuit Breakers are designed to protect your wiring from over current or overload. Safety Switches (RCD'S) are designed to protect people from electric shock. They sense earth leakage and will trip before the current reaches a dangerous level during a fault. 

The easiest and simplest way to tell the difference is the button. Circuit breakers will generally have a "ON/Off" switch only whereas a Safety Switch usually has an additional small button which is used to test the operation of the Earth Leakage Device. 

Ceiling fans often use a capacitor to control the fan speeds. It's a common problem and usually an easy fix. The fan capacitor is normally located behind the fan controller on the wall and is a replaceable part. 

Do not attempt to replace these capacitors yourself! They hold an electrical charge, even when the power is switched off. Always use a qualified electrician for any electrical work.
