Security for your family and assets
A smoke alarm is a very basic but essential safety feature for all homes. They literally save lives and protect your most important assets from being damaged or destroyed by a fire. Smoke detectors have the advantage of being able to detect smoke from a fire well before a person could, especially if asleep.
Did you know the risk of death from fire is up to three times higher in homes without smoke detectors? This is why it’s extremely important that they are installed in your home or workplace and serviced regularly by a professional.
In Queensland smoke alarms are mandatory for all new homes, including rental properties. A basic but essential safety feature, smoke alarms can literally save lives and protect your most important assets from being damaged or destroyed through fire.
Smoke detectors detect smoke from fire well before the home occupants would, especially if asleep, and allow more time for emergency steps to be taken to save lives and property.
Changes to smoke alarms Gold Coast and Brisbane legislation in Queensland are rolling out. This applies to:
New dwellings and dwellings being substantially renovated – From 1 January 2017
Dwellings being sold, leased or an existing lease is renewed – From 1 January 2022
For existing dwellings – From 1 January 2027
Smoke alarms in all dwellings must:
be photoelectric (AS 3786-2014); and
not also contain an ionisation sensor; and
be less than 10 years old; and
operate when tested; and
be interconnected with every other smoke alarm in the dwelling so all activate together.
Smoke alarms must be installed on each storey:
in each bedroom; and
in hallways which connect bedrooms and the rest of the dwelling; or
if there is no hallway, between the bedrooms and other parts of the storey; and
if there are no bedrooms on a storey at least one smoke alarm must be installed in the most likely path of travel to exit the dwelling.
*Smoke alarms must be either hardwired or powered by a non-removable 10-year battery.
