FAQs

Smoke Alarms — Frequently Asked Questions

What type of smoke alarm is required by Queensland law?

Queensland law requires photoelectric smoke alarms in all homes. Since 2022, all homes being sold or leased must have interconnected, hardwired photoelectric smoke alarms with battery backup. We install compliant units and issue a Form 16 electrical safety certificate.

How many smoke alarms do I need?

Queensland requires a smoke alarm in every bedroom, in hallways connecting bedrooms to the rest of the home, and on each storey. A typical three-bedroom home needs five to seven alarms. We assess your home and map out optimal placement.

Can I install smoke alarms myself?

Hardwired smoke alarms must be installed by a licensed electrician — it is illegal to do this yourself in Queensland. Battery-only units can be self-installed but no longer meet the legislation requirements for most dwellings.

How often should smoke alarms be tested?

We recommend monthly self-testing using the test button, and an annual professional inspection. Alarms should be replaced every 10 years regardless of condition. We offer a maintenance plan and send reminders when your alarms are due.

Do rental properties need a compliance certificate?

Yes. If you are selling or leasing a property in Queensland, you must have compliant smoke alarms installed before settlement or the start of a new tenancy. We issue a Form 16 certificate for rental compliance.

How long does smoke alarm installation take?

A typical installation for a three-bedroom home takes one to two hours, including running new wiring if required, installing interconnected units, and testing each alarm.

What is the penalty for non-compliant smoke alarms?

Non-compliant smoke alarms in a property for sale or lease can result in significant fines. More importantly, inadequate smoke alarms dramatically increase the risk of fire deaths. Compliance protects both you and your tenants.

Do you service all of Brisbane Bayside?

Yes. We serve Wynnum, Manly, Hawthorne, Carina, Norman Park, and across Brisbane Bayside. We typically respond within 24 hours for non-emergency bookings.
