Expert Installations for Peace of Mind
A properly fitted smoke alarm can be the difference between a close call and a disaster. I install interconnected photoelectric alarms that detect smoke fast and link across multiple rooms, so everyone gets the warning instantly.
Each alarm is placed for maximum coverage, meeting both legal and safety requirements for Queensland homes. I also check wiring, batteries and lifespan dates to make sure every unit’s in top condition before I leave. Protecting your home starts with prevention and that begins here.
FAQ
How often should smoke alarms be replaced in Queensland?
Queensland law requires photoelectric smoke alarms to be replaced every ten years. Even if they still seem to work, older alarms can lose sensitivity over time, increasing the risk of late detection. It’s also important to test alarms monthly and clean them regularly to remove dust.
A licensed electrician can check installation dates, test response times and upgrade any outdated models to meet current regulations.
What type of smoke alarms are now required by law in Queensland?
Since January 2022, Queensland homes must have interconnected photoelectric smoke alarms on every level, in each bedroom and in hallways that connect sleeping areas.
Interconnected means if one alarm sounds, they all do, giving everyone time to act. These alarms can be hardwired or use a sealed 10-year lithium battery.
Choosing the right setup depends on your home’s layout and access to mains power.
Where should smoke alarms be installed for best protection?
Smoke alarms should be installed on the ceiling, away from corners or air vents that might block smoke flow. Bedrooms, hallways and living areas all need coverage, particularly if doors are closed at night.
For two-storey homes, alarms are required on both levels. A qualified electrician can assess your floor plan to recommend the best placement and number of alarms to keep your property compliant and safe.
