Photoelectric smoke alarms are now the legal standard across Queensland — and for good reason. These alarms detect visible smoke particles faster than outdated ionisation types, giving you an earlier warning in the event of fire. Whether you're replacing expired units or getting ahead of the 2022/2027 compliance deadlines, photoelectric technology is now a must.



The old ionisation alarms are officially out. They’re no longer permitted for installation under QFES legislation. At Smoke Alarmed, we specialise in installing fully compliant photoelectric smoke alarms across the Sunshine Coast. We supply both mains powered and 10-year lithium battery models from trusted brands like Brooks, PSA, Clipsal, Nest and Legrand — all handpicked to suit your layout and budget.

We know the local conditions that can trigger false alarms, and we use that knowledge to recommend and install alarms that work reliably in real-world homes. Whether it’s for your family home, rental, or business, we’ll ensure everything’s properly positioned, interconnected, and meets Queensland’s strict safety standards.
