🔧 What Our 10-Year Battery Smoke Alarm Installation Includes
Every $120-per-alarm 10-year battery install includes:
- Supply of a sealed-in 10-year lithium photoelectric smoke alarm — QLD 2027 compliant
- Removal and safe disposal of your old alarm
- Mounting in the correct location: every bedroom, hallways serving bedrooms, every level
- Wireless interconnection — when one alarm sounds, every alarm sounds
- Full live-condition system test
- Same-day Form 24-ready compliance certificate emailed to you
The whole job for a typical 4-bedroom home takes about 60–90 minutes from arrival to certificate sent.
🔋 Why Sealed 10-Year Lithium? No More 3am Beeps.
Old-style 9V smoke alarms beep when the battery is dying. They always pick the worst possible moment — 3am, mid-Christmas, the night before a 6am flight. The fix is the same every time: stand on a chair, fight a tiny battery, end up disabling the alarm “just for tonight” — and forget to turn it back on.
Sealed 10-year lithium alarms eliminate the problem entirely:
- No removable battery — nothing to replace, ever, for the legal life of the alarm
- Tamper-proof housing — meets QLD landlord legislation requirements
- Photoelectric sensor — fewer false alarms from cooking and steam
- Wirelessly interconnected — every alarm sounds together when one detects smoke
- End-of-life chirp warns you 30 days before the alarm needs replacement
After 10 years, the entire alarm is replaced — at $120 fully installed. That’s about $12 a year for full QLD-compliant fire protection.
📅 The QLD 2027 Smoke Alarm Standard — What You Need
From 1 January 2027, every Queensland home must have fully interconnected photoelectric smoke alarms in every bedroom, in hallways connecting bedrooms, and on every level of the home. 10-year sealed lithium alarms with wireless interconnect are the simplest, cleanest way to meet the standard — no electrician needed for ongoing battery service, no rewiring required.
For a comparison with hardwired 240V alarms, see our hardwired 240V smoke alarm installation page. For a full compliance inspection, book a smoke alarm compliance check.

❓ 10-Year Battery Smoke Alarm Installation FAQ
Are 10-year battery smoke alarms QLD compliant?
Yes — provided they’re photoelectric (not ionisation), interconnected with every other alarm in the home, and installed in the correct locations. Every alarm we install is fully compliant with the QLD 2027 standard.
What happens after 10 years?
The alarm beeps an end-of-life warning roughly 30 days before the battery expires. Replace the entire alarm — $120 fully installed — and you’re good for another decade.
Do I need an electrician to install a 10-year battery alarm?
No — battery alarms don’t legally require an electrician. We install them ourselves anyway, because we’re the ones issuing your QLD compliance certificate and we want a single point of accountability for the entire job.
How are wireless 10-year alarms interconnected?
Each alarm pairs with every other alarm in the home over a dedicated short-range RF link — no Wi-Fi, no app, no router needed. When one alarm detects smoke, every alarm in the home sounds within a fraction of a second.
