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 is installed in compliance with these new rules, it’s still essential to regularly check that your smoke alarms are working correctly. These regular inspections ensure your alarms will work as expected, when the unexpected comes. Our team performs detailed Smoke Alarm Inspections. We test battery life, cleanliness, and functionality, ensuring all units are perfectly operational and will work in the case of a fire.
Operational and Non-operational are the formal words for ‘Working and Not Working’.
Test your smoke alarm by holding the test button for 20 seconds until you hear a beep. All the alarms in your home should beep when you do this if they are interconnected.
Vacuum your smoke alarm.
Replace expired smoke alarms.
