💬 Real Questions Brisbane Homeowners Ask
Do I really need to upgrade my smoke alarms?
If your alarms are not interconnected or over 10 years old, they are not compliant under current Queensland laws.
Can I just replace one smoke alarm?
Usually no. Compliance requires a full interconnected system across the home, not a single replacement.
What happens if I don’t upgrade?
You may fail compliance when selling or renting your property, and your home may not meet legal safety requirements.
How many smoke alarms do I need?
Typically:
- One in every bedroom
- One in hallways
- One on each level
How long does installation take?
Most homes can be upgraded within a few hours depending on layout and number of alarms.
What’s better — hardwired or wireless interconnected?
Both are compliant. We recommend the best option based on your home layout and access.

Smoke alarm installation costs depend on:
- Number of alarms required
