Smoke Alarm Compliance
Interconnected photoelectric smoke alarms, installed to Queensland law.
Call 0431 946 369Queensland has some of the strictest smoke alarm laws in Australia. Every dwelling must eventually have interconnected photoelectric smoke alarms in every bedroom, in hallways and on each level — and the deadline for all owner-occupied homes is 1 January 2027. Rental and sale deadlines have already arrived, and many Redlands homes built before the 2000s still don't comply.
We connect you with licensed electricians who upgrade your alarms to the current standard, test every unit, and leave you with documentation you can hand to your insurer, property manager or buyer.

Common questions
›What are Queensland's smoke alarm requirements?
Alarms must be photoelectric type, interconnected to each other, and located in every bedroom, in hallways connecting bedrooms and the rest of the home, and on every storey. All dwellings must comply by 1 January 2027.
›How many alarms will my house need?
It depends on the layout — a three-bedroom single-storey home typically needs at least five to seven alarms. The electrician will map exactly where each one goes during the compliance assessment.
›Do you provide a compliance certificate?
Yes. After installation, every alarm is tested and you receive documentation showing the alarms meet the Queensland standard — useful for insurers, tenancy records and property sales.
