18/7/18 Hi all, As a fairly recent strata owner, sometimes people’s smoke alarms seem very unreliable.
By and large, the firm that installs them and monitors them all periodically, through strata for a strata fee routinely.
It’s a nuisance, and possible cost to others, to do call outs between times, either for single battery change, or sudden activation without anyone doing anything like cooking fumes causing that.
Example, is in previous situations we’ve simply replaced a battery at own expense.
Seems from reading the above, thanks, even that simple task is a common property thing though?
Beginning to wonder if it could be the alarm hardware may be made in another country and patchy in design?
Or, heaven forbid, could the battery thing and subsequent call-outs, if they are charged out, be a convenient business arrangement?
Thanks very much if any insights.
