Why do homes need smoke alarms installed?
Most fatal fires happen at night when people are asleep. However, whether day or night, a sleeping person is unable to smell smoke. When a smoke alarm sounds, this will wake the occupants alerting them to the danger and giving them more time to escape to safety.
Smoke alarms SAVE LIVES and properties!
Changes to residential smoke alarm legislation
The new Queensland smoke alarm legislation affects ALL home owners, landlords and tenants!
By January 1 2027 all homes in Queensland are required to meet the new smoke alarm legislation. All smoke alarms in dwellings must be photoelectric, interconnected and installed in every bedroom, hallways which connect bedrooms to the rest of the dwelling, and on every level of the home.
Changes to smoke alarm legislation requirements
In January 2017, smoke alarm legislation was changed and all homes are now required to install 'interconnected' photoelectric smoke alarms.

We can advise if your current smoke alarms are meeting the new legislation requirements.
What are interconnected photoelectric smoke alarms?
Photoelectric smoke alarms are superior to ionization smoke alarms!
Smouldering fires can last for hours before turning into a flame fire. Ionization smoke alarms work well with a flame fire that has already been developed. Whereas, photoelectric smoke alarms are more sensitive – they can detect small amounts of smoke therefore giving you, your family and any other occupants, more time to evacuate the home.
​
Interconnected photoelectric smoke alarms have the benefit of, when one alarm is activated, all alarms will sound – this extra time can make all the difference in avoiding a tragedy!
Interconnected photoelectric smoke alarms SAVE LIVES!
Interconnected smoke alarms and fire escape plans SAVE LIVES!
Around 1000 families experience an accidental house fire each year. The best chance of surviving a fire in the home is having a practised escape plan and interconnected photoelectric smoke alarms.
