Protect Your Property

Smoke alarms are your first line of defence when it comes to protecting your property from fire damage. They are designed to detect smoke well before you can, making them invaluable when the occupants of your property are asleep. To remain compliant with QLD and NSW law, it’s vital to have up-to-date smoke alarms installed at your dwelling. That’s where the Gold Coast electricians at Oceanside Services come to the fore.

We install and service photoelectric smoke alarms that use photo-optical sensors to rapidly detect combustion particles. Photoelectric smoke alarms respond faster to the presence of smoke, making them superior to the outdated ionisation models.

For smoke alarm installation on the Gold Coast, we are the clear choice. Our electricians provide smoke alarm repairs, maintenance, compliance assessments and rental property certification; we also travel to Brisbane, as well as the wider South East QLD and Northern NSW region.

Smoke Alarm Requirements

The smoke alarms installed at your dwelling must:

Be photoelectric (AS 3786-2014)
Not contain an ionisation sensor
Be less than 10 years’ old
Operate when tested
Be interconnected with every smoke alarm at your location (so they all activate together)

Smoke alarms must be located:

Frequently Asked Questions

How often do smoke alarms need to be checked?

To remain compliant with government legislation, your smoke alarms need to be professionally checked and cleaned once every 12 months. Smoke alarms should be replaced every 10 years.

How are smoke alarms powered?

To meet government safety guidelines, smoke alarms must either be hard-wired or powered by a 10-year battery. It’s important to ensure only a licensed professional installs your alarm and connects the power source.

Am I required to have my smoke alarms serviced?

For maximum safety of your family and home, we recommend an annual smoke alarm inspection. This inspection includes an assessment, replacement of batteries, vacuum clean and compliance certificate. We ensure to put your safety first by sending you a friendly reminder when your annual smoke alarm system inspection is due.
