Carbon Monoxide Alarms in Rental Properties

Smoke Alarms Australia is committed to providing solutions that make things easier for property managers and landlords alike.  Being the first and leading smoke alarm service provider for rental properties in Australia, we are experienced in delivering solutions that give you peace of mind.

In late 2010, the Federal Parliament unanimously voted to support a private member’s motion that would see The Council of Australian Governments work with each state and territory in Australia to pass legislation that would regulate the installation of carbon monoxide alarms and the testing of gas appliances in rental properties.

Carbon monoxide is a colourless, odourless, poisonous gas that can be produced by appliances that use gas, wood, oil, or coal such as a gas heater.  The gas can also permeate through brick walls and plaster of shared walls within apartment blocks and carbon monoxide poisoning can take hold without warning – potentially being fatal.  Signs of poisoning can often be confused with the flu and even low levels of the gas can cause lasting damage.

While the correct maintenance of appliances is necessary, a carbon monoxide alarm will provide warning to occupants before levels become toxic – preventing unnecessary deaths.

Smoke Alarms Australia is preparing its systems and operations to be able to assist your agency in the installation of carbon monoxide alarms in each of the properties you manage.  With our vast experience in smoke alarms, we understand the importance of delivering a service that takes all necessary regulations into consideration while making things easier for you as a property manager.

We will be offering both standalone carbon monoxide alarm installation as well as a special bundled pricing option for landlords who also sign up to the $99 smoke alarms annual maintenance program.

As always the Smoke Alarms Australia service includes:

• Free and unlimited access to our Online Tracking System to lodge and track the progress of your work orders and invoices

• Template letters and material to send to your landlords

• Personal contact with each and every one of your tenants via telephone from our dedicated call centre to arrange an installation time

• Professional and fully trained employees – not contractors, completing the work in the properties you manage

• A dedicated account manager for your agency
