Frequently Asked Questions

Choosing the right smoke alarm system is essential for compliance and safety. Here are a few of the most common questions about smoke alarm installation.

Two Speech Bubbles Icon

  • What type of smoke alarms are required in Queensland?

    Queensland law requires interconnected photoelectric smoke alarms that are less than ten years old. These alarms must be hardwired or powered by a non-removable lithium battery and installed in every bedroom, hallway and storey.


    Interconnected alarms ensure that when one detects smoke, they all sound, providing the earliest possible warning and giving occupants extra time to evacuate safely.

  • Where should smoke alarms be installed for the best protection?

    Alarms should be installed inside every bedroom, in hallways connecting sleeping areas and on each level of a home or building.


    It’s also important to position them away from air vents and bathrooms to prevent false alarms. Proper placement follows both manufacturer recommendations and Australian Standard AS 3786 to maximise coverage and response time during a fire.

  • Can I install smoke alarms myself?

    Battery-powered alarms can be installed by homeowners, but hardwired and interconnected systems must be fitted by a licensed electrician. Professional installation ensures correct wiring, placement and compliance with Queensland legislation.


    Experts also test the system to confirm every alarm works together effectively. Having your smoke alarms installed by professionals guarantees both safety and legal compliance.
