Smoke alarm renewal for Sunshine Coast homes

From 1 January 2027 every Queensland dwelling must have interconnected photoelectric smoke alarms (AS 3786-2014) in every bedroom, in hallways connecting bedrooms to the rest of the home, and on every storey. Alarms must be hardwired with battery backup or powered by a non-removable 10-year battery. Homes sold or leased have had to meet this standard since 2022. Atlas Safe Home Renewal installs a system that meets this configuration for the agreed scope.

Hardwired (240V) smoke alarms must be installed by a licensed electrician, and existing hardwired alarms must be replaced with hardwired alarms. Battery-powered 10-year alarms can be installed without an electrician. Safe Home covers both types in one visit, with the hardwired work done by Atlas electricians.

A renewal. Safe Home replaces the smoke detection system rather than testing what is already there, then commissions it, tests safety-switch protection and documents everything. If your alarms are recent and interconnected and you only need a test, say so when you enquire and we will point you to the right option.

Safe Home Renewal is delivered across the Sunshine Coast. Atlas is based in Marcoola and regularly renews systems for owner-occupiers and holiday lets in Mudjimba, Coolum Beach and the nearby North Shore. Tell us the suburb when you enquire and we will confirm availability for the property.

Yes. Holiday lets and owner-occupier homes use the same Safe Home Renewal offer — interconnected photoelectric alarms to the Queensland configuration, safety-switch check and records. Name the suburb (for example Coolum Beach or Mudjimba) when you request a quote.

The standard Atlas Safe Home Renewal package is $1,399 incl GST for the agreed residential configuration within the seven-alarm allowance and standard access. Homes that need more alarms, rectification, high access or switchboard remediation are quoted separately once the configuration is confirmed.

Up to seven smoke alarms in a standard configuration of up to two hardwired RF alarms and up to five wireless RF alarms, plus one wall test / locate / hush controller. Additional alarms are priced separately.

The Switchboard Health Report records safety-switch verification findings and practical recommendations for the switchboard. A Queensland Certificate of Testing is issued where the work requires it. They serve different purposes and may both form part of your records.

Failed testing is documented in the Switchboard Health Report with clear findings. Remediation is not included in the standard package and is quoted separately before any additional work proceeds.

The standard package covers the smoke detection renewal, safety-switch verification, Switchboard Health Report and documentation described on this page. Repairs, rectification and switchboard remediation are outside the package and quoted separately.

A complimentary Smoke Alarm Test & Report retest is available to the first 25 homeowners to claim it after their Safe Home Renewal. It is not an ongoing annual entitlement, and availability is limited to those claim places.

Often yes, when scoped and approved. Other electrical work is quoted separately and only proceeds with your confirmation.

Yes. Landlords, property managers and building managers use the same Safe Home Renewal offer when they want a clear smoke-detection renewal and documented baseline for a dwelling.
