Only a licensed electrician can provide you with this certificate. They have the tools and knowledge to ensure your smoke alarms are installed and functioning correctly, adhering to the standards set out by the Queensland Fire and Emergency Services (QFES).
For those of us living in our Queensland homes, the smoke alarms we install are not mere installations but an effective way to keep your family safe from housefires. In every bedroom, connecting hallways, and each level of our homes, these alarms watch over our nights and days. Photoelectric alarms specialise in detecting smouldering fires, which are fast-moving fires that can quickly engulf your home while you sleep.
Investing into the latest standards for interconnected photoelectric smoke alarms is not only about compliance—it’s about the comforting assurance that comes from knowing your family is protected in the case of unexpected events.
Have a qualified electrician evaluate your home’s smoke alarms against current standards.
If your alarms aren’t up to scratch, the technician can install top-of-the-line replacements.
After ensuring everything is in perfect order, you will receive your Certificate of Testing and Compliance for smoke alarms.
A smoke alarm compliance certificate (QLD) isn’t just another piece of paper. It is documentation that confirms your alarms are ready to do their job, should they ever need to.
After the work of the inspection, along with any other needed changes, you will receive this certificate to reflect that your smoke alarms are in compliance with the latest rules in QLD
When selling your home, this certificate also transparently shows potential buyers that the property is safe and sound.
Our team isn’t just skilled—they’re passionate about safety and compliance.
We believe everyone deserves access to safety, so we keep our prices fair and our service standards high.
We know life gets busy, especially when preparing to sell your home or upgrading it. We work efficiently to fit into your schedule.
In Queensland, smoke alarm legislation requires that all properties must have interconnected photoelectric smoke alarms installed in all bedrooms, in pathways of travel, and on every storey within a home. This comes into effect for homeowners or owner occupiers on the 1st of January 2027, but it is mandatory for all rental and newly sold properties now.
This legislation is part of a commitment by Queensland Fire and Emergency Services to enhance safety in homes across the state. While homeowners have some extra time to make these changes to avoid penalties, the mission here goes beyond compliance. These new changes have come from members of the community to ensure the best protection for families against Queensland housefires.
Our team at DC Smoke consists of professional smoke alarm electricians who are trained and certified according to Australian standards. If your home does not pass a compliance inspection, you can call one of our electricians for an installation of a new upgraded smoke alarm system.
When selling a property in Queensland, it’s essential to ensure that your smoke alarms comply with the latest legislation. This not only affects the contract of sale but can also influence the purchase price. Non-compliance can lead to penalties or adjustments in the sale terms, making compliance a key factor in real estate transactions. If you’re planning to sell your home, contact us or pass on this website to your property manager to arrange your compliance inspection and certificate.
