Whether you’re a homeowner, landlord, or property manager, we make compliance simple and reliable.

 

Compliant with Queensland Smoke Alarm Laws

 

Smoke alarm requirements in Queensland are governed by the Building Fire Safety Regulation 2008 (Qld) and updates from the Queensland Fire and Emergency Services (QFES). By 1 January 2027, all homes must have:

 

• Photoelectric smoke alarms (AS 3786-2014)
• Hardwired or 10-year lithium battery-powered alarms
• Interconnected alarms in every bedroom, in hallways outside bedrooms, and on every level of the home

 

For rental properties, smoke alarms must be:

 

• Tested and cleaned within 30 days before a new tenancy or lease renewal
• Maintained in good working order throughout the tenancy
• Faults reported and acted on promptly by landlords and tenants

 

What Our Service Includes

 

• Our qualified technicians carry out a full smoke alarm compliance check, including:
• Functional testing with smoke test equipment
• Cleaning of alarm units to remove dust and debris
• Replacement of expired or non-compliant alarms (over 10 years old)
• Testing of alarm interconnection for full system coverage
• Compliance report and certification upon completion
• We carry high-quality, compliant photoelectric alarms ready for installation when required.

 

Transparent Pricing

 

• There are no additional fees or call-out charges. The only extra cost is for the smoke alarm units themselves, if replacement is required.
