Fast, professional service that won't disrupt your day
Certified & Queensland Government compliant
No obligation, no fuss, fast response
More Australians die in house fires than in bushfires and other natural disasters combined. But with working smoke alarms, lives can be protected.
Modern interconnected smoke alarms detect fires faster, giving your family crucial extra minutes to escape safely. This isn’t just about compliance; it’s about peace of mind knowing your loved ones are protected.
Understand what’s changing and why it matters
All alarms must now be interconnected and hardwired throughout your home. Only photoelectric alarms are acceptable; ionisation alarms no longer meet standards. Specific installation locations are mandated by law, and professional installation is now required for compliance. Annual testing and certification will be necessary going forward.
Every residential property in Queensland must comply, including owner-occupied homes, rental properties, and any properties being sold or leased. Non-compliance directly affects your home's insurability, making it a critical issue for all property owners.
January 1st, 2027 is the hard deadline for full compliance. After this date, insurance policies won't cover non-compliant homes in fire-related claims. If you're selling or leasing your property, buyers and tenants will require a compliance certificate before settlement. Installers will be overwhelmed as the deadline approaches, and prices may increase significantly as demand rises.
Here’s what many homeowners don’t realise: if your smoke alarms don’t meet Queensland’s new regulations, your home insurance may be invalid.
Insurance companies have already begun updating policies. Non-compliant smoke alarm systems void coverage in fire-related claims. If you’re not compliant by January 1, 2027, you’re uninsured in the event of a fire.
Buyers will require a smoke alarm compliance certificate before settlement. Without it, the sale can fall through or you'll lose negotiating power.
Landlords are legally responsible for compliance. Non-compliance can result in fines and tenancy disputes. Insurance won't cover fire damage in rental properties without certification.
You're at risk. Non-compliant alarms won't protect your family, and your insurer won't cover fire damage. This is the real cost of delay.
