The Queensland Fire & Emergency Service is the regulator, and the Queensland Government is the legislator. This legislation is being phased in and we are now entering the final phase which affects owner-occupiers.
By 1st January, 2027 owner occupiers and all Queensland dwellings must have photoelectric, interconnected smoke alarms in the bedrooms, outside of the bedrooms and at least one on every level of the dwelling.
If you are selling a house in Queensland, you must comply with the new Queensland smoke alarm laws. If you don’t then the buyer can penalise you .15% of the contract price at settlement.
If you are a landlord then you must comply by the next lease renewal from 1.1.22 or before a new lease commences from 1.1.22.
Non-compliance could result in an infringement notice from the QFES
QFES's new smoke alarm laws aim to enhance Queensland homes' safety, mandating interconnected photoelectric alarms for early fire detection and safer evacuations.
Very happy with our new smoke alarms from Queensland Smoke Alarms. We went with the recently released Red Professional range (which have insect screens and other improvements), some hard wired and some battery only (I only went the 10 year non-replaceable batteries, not the 9V backup) and including the modules to link each hard wired alarm. Excellent customer service, including from the gentleman who installed them.
It has been an excellent service we received from quoting through to installation and ensuring all compliance documents are received. Our installer Fernando is amazing, working safely and great customer service especially around our kids. Thank you folks and Kirstie. Highly recommended!
We recently had interconnected smoke alarms installed in our house. Starting with the first phone call right through to the installation, Queensland Smoke Alarms were extremely helpful and efficient. I would definitely recommend them. Thanks Kirsty and Fernando for a great job.
Great prompt service.
QSA was very responsive to our needs to replace and update our dated system and attender our property the very next day. They removed the old and faulty units and replaced with a compliant system, leaving no mess behind. Pleasant and easy to deal with. Highly recommend Qld Smoke Alarms, only good things to say. Thank you!
Such an easy process. Great communication and service. I would definately use Qld Smoke Alarms again.
Our mission is to protect the lives of Queensland residents, by upgrading existing smoke alarm systems to interconnected systems that rapidly alert occupants to the early stage of a potential fire in their home and to protect them from electrocution by testing and installing electrical safety switches.
