Smoke Alarm Installation & Compliance

Photoelectric, interconnected smoke alarm installation across Logan, Brisbane Southside and the Northern Gold Coast — fully compliant with Queensland regulations for rental properties and owner-occupied homes.

Queensland's smoke alarm regulations changed significantly in 2022, requiring all rental properties to have photoelectric, interconnected smoke alarms installed in specific locations before any new tenancy or lease renewal. We install to the current standard, issue documentation for your records, and can service portfolios of any size through a single point of contact.

What this covers

  • Photoelectric smoke alarm installation in all required locations
  • Interconnection of alarms — hardwired or wireless where hardwiring is impractical
  • Compliance certificates for rental property managers
  • Replacement of outdated ionisation or battery-only alarms
  • Portfolio servicing for property managers across Logan and Brisbane Southside
  • Pre-tenancy and lease-renewal compliance inspections

Common questions

What does Queensland law require for smoke alarms in rental properties?

From 1 January 2022, all Queensland rental properties must have photoelectric smoke alarms installed in all bedrooms, in hallways connecting bedrooms to the rest of the dwelling, and on each storey. They must be interconnected so that when one activates, all activate. Alarms must be hardwired or have a 10-year non-removable battery.

Do owner-occupied homes need to comply with the new Queensland rules?

All Queensland homes must meet the new photoelectric, interconnected standard by 1 January 2027. Rental properties and homes sold before this date also have earlier compliance triggers — contact us if you're unsure where your property sits.

Can you handle compliance for a whole rental portfolio?

Yes. We work with property managers across Logan, Brisbane Southside and the Northern Gold Coast and can manage compliance inspections and installations across a portfolio with direct invoicing and clear documentation for each property.
