Thanks to Troy on his first visit to do the quote he did not rush us and took the time to listen to what we wanted, advised us on the best system to suit our needs. The staff that did the installation were helpful , friendly and did a great job . Highly recommend this company.

That was 3 years ago when we had the air conditioning system installed. Well after 3 years we had it serviced and things have not changed, from talking with Cheryl,Jenny and Jody in the office to Brent the technician who did the work at our home still gets 5+ stars for helpful and friendly service. We are very happy to recommend them.

Meet Your Legal Requirements

Under s 104RBA of the Fire and Emergency Services (Domestic Smoke Alarms) Amendment Act 2016 (Qld), all domestic dwellings must have smoke alarm systems installed by 1 January 2027.

That includes existing homes – it’s up to you, the homeowner, to make sure your property is compliant.

Your alarm system must be:

  • photoelectric
  • interconnected
  • operational when tested.

New South Wales has similar legislation that’s already in force.

If your home doesn’t have a compliant smoke alarm system, get in touch with us for a free installation quote.

Questions

Smoke Alarm Installation FAQs

How much does it cost to install a smoke alarm in Queensland?

You can expect to pay around $150 per hardwired smoke alarm. To comply with legal requirements, you’ll need to have at least:

  • one alarm in each bedroom
  • one alarm on each storey
  • one alarm in the hallway/space between the bedroom and other parts of your home.

That means all residential properties need, at minimum, 2 alarms.

Do you have a call-out fee for smoke alarm installations?

Yes, we do. We charge $195 for a call-out and the first 30 minutes on site.

Can you install your own smoke alarm in Queensland?

Yes, you can install your own battery-powered smoke alarms, as long as they meet the placement requirements of s 12 of the Building Regulation 2021 (Cth) and the technical requirements of AS 3786:2014.

Keep in mind that hardwired smoke alarms can only be installed by a licenced electrician. Unlicensed electrical work is illegal and extremely dangerous (both for you and anyone else in the home).

Do you have public liability insurance?

Yes, we do. We hold a $20 million public liability policy. We’re happy to supply proof of insurance upon request.

What’s the difference between photoelectric and ionisation smoke alarms?

Ionisation alarms are an older kind of smoke detector. Their detection mechanism involves 2 small metal plates and a tiny piece of radioactive material. The radioactive material electrically charges the air between the plates. When a particle – like smoke, water vapour, or dust – passes through that air, it carries away ions, which reduces the current between the plates and triggers the alarm.

Photoelectric smoke alarms have a similar detection chamber. Instead of metal plates, though, the chamber has an LED at one end and a photoelectric cell on the wall of the chamber. When particles enter, they scatter the light from the LED, throwing it onto the cell and tripping the alarm.

Ionisation alarms tend to be faster at detecting fast-burning fires; photoelectric alarms are better at detecting smouldering ones. Queensland legislation requires that your home’s alarms be photoelectric.

I have a hearing impairment. What are my options?

If you’re deaf or hard of hearing, we can install specialised smoke alarms that include tactile and visual alerts. Most accessible alarm systems include strobe lights and an under-pillow vibration pad.

Keep in mind that, if you live in Queensland, you may be eligible for the Deaf Connect Smoke Alarm Subsidy Scheme, which supplies a $400 hearing impaired smoke alarm for just $50.
