Frequently asked questions
Queensland requires interconnected photoelectric smoke alarms in every bedroom, hallways connecting bedrooms, and on every level. All rentals and homes being sold must comply now, and every home must comply by 2027.
Interconnected means when one alarm detects smoke, every alarm in the home sounds together. That's the point, you hear a fire in the garage from your bedroom with the door shut.
Ten years from the date of manufacture, hardwired or battery. The date is printed on the alarm. Most homes we visit have at least one expired unit the owners didn't know about.
Photoelectric alarms detect smouldering fires earlier and false alarm less from cooking. They're the only type Queensland legislation accepts for new installs, so it's not really a choice anymore.
