Queensland’s recent updates to smoke alarm laws require interconnected photoelectric smoke alarms in all bedrooms, hallways leading to bedrooms, and on every level of a house. These laws aim to boost fire safety in homes, highlighting the critical role that properly functioning smoke alarms play in increasing escape time during a fire.
If you’re a homeowner, adapting to these changes might seem overwhelming. We ensure your smoke alarms are up to standard and provide the best protection possible.
At DC Smoke, our mission is to make achieving compliance simple and straightforward for all Queensland homeowners. We go to your home and audit your current smoke alarm setup against the QLD smoke alarm standards that will become mandatory from 1 January 2027. By opting for a smoke alarm compliance inspection now, you’re not just ticking a box—you’re ensuring that your home’s fire safety measures are robust and up-to-date.
Even when a smoke alarm system meets current regulations, regular checks are essential to ensure they function properly. Routine inspections help guarantee your alarms will perform as expected when it matters most. Our team conducts thorough smoke alarm inspections, testing battery life, cleanliness, and overall functionality to ensure every unit is fully operational and ready to protect your home.
