Smoke Alarms

We can inspect your smoke alarms to confirm they meet Queensland’s latest compliance requirements. This includes checking:

• Alarm type (photoelectric, interconnected where required)
• Installation locations and spacing
• Expiry dates and condition
• Correct operation and testing

If anything needs upgrading or replacing, we can give you a clear quote and handle the work so your home is fully compliant. You’ll also receive documentation for your records — especially important for rental properties.

We can supply and install both hardwired and battery-operated smoke alarms, depending on your property and compliance requirements.

In Queensland, most new installations and upgrades — especially in homes being sold, rented, or undergoing major renovations — must be hardwired, photoelectric, and interconnected to meet current legislation.

Battery-operated alarms can still be used in some situations (like additional alarms beyond the minimum requirement), but we’ll always advise you on what’s compliant and safest for your setup.

Yes. Under current Queensland legislation, all smoke alarms in homes being sold, leased, or undergoing major renovations must be photoelectric, less than 10 years old, and interconnected with the rest of the alarms in the property.

By 1 January 2027, all residential properties in Queensland will need to meet these standards — regardless of whether they’re being sold or rented. Photoelectric alarms are more effective at detecting smouldering fires early, giving you extra time to respond.

We can assess your current alarms, replace non-compliant units, and ensure you meet the requirements ahead of the deadline.
