Smoke Alarm Servicing
Many clients believe a smoke alarm service is just pressing the test button, but there’s a lot more to it. At FNQ Smoke Alarms & Maintenance, our technicians carry out a number of steps to ensure all the smoke alarms throughout your property are compliant with current legislation. The steps include:
- Locating all smoke alarms on the premises
- Checking the number and location of each smoke alarm in accordance with the relevant building code. If an alarm is not positioned correctly, the property is not compliant, and it will need to be relocated
- Smoke alarms are installed, replaced or relocated if required
- All smoke alarm batteries are tested and replaced if required
- The test button is pushed on each smoke alarm to ensure proper function
- A decibel tester is used to ensure smoke alarms are over 75 decibels
- Once all smoke alarms are in working order and in the right location, the property is deemed compliant
The owner/manager of the property will receive a letter of Service and Compliance once the property has been serviced. This will outline the service provided, the current location of alarms (in compliance with AS and BCA), a decibel reading, and whether the property is compliant regarding new smoke alarm laws.

Frequently Asked Questions
Keeping smoke alarms serviced and functioning is essential for compliance and safety. Below are answers to some of the most common questions about smoke alarm servicing and repairs.
Why is my smoke alarm beeping or chirping?
A beeping smoke alarm usually signals a low battery, dust build-up or end-of-life warning. It can also mean the alarm has lost connection within an interconnected system.
Regular cleaning and servicing often stop false alerts and ensure the unit responds correctly during an emergency. If the alarm continues to beep after replacing the battery, it may need to be replaced entirely.
How do I know if my smoke alarm needs replacing?
Most smoke alarms have a lifespan of ten years from the manufacture date printed on the unit. Signs like frequent false alarms, unresponsiveness during testing or yellowing plastic indicate it’s time to replace the device.
Keeping alarms current with modern photoelectric models ensures compliance with Queensland legislation and reliable performance in detecting smoke early.
What’s included in a smoke alarm service or repair?
A professional smoke alarm service or repair includes testing each alarm’s sensitivity, power supply and connectivity. Technicians clean internal sensors, replace faulty parts and verify that all units meet current safety regulations.
Interconnected systems are also checked for proper communication between alarms. This process restores full operation and reduces the risk of failure during a real fire event.
