If you're a landlord planning to rent or sell your property, Queensland legislation now requires you to upgrade to a fully interconnected, photoelectric smoke alarm system. As of 1st January 2022, this is mandatory for rental or sale properties, with each bedroom, hallway outside bedrooms, and each level of the home needing compliant smoke alarms — typically 6–7 alarms in a standard four-bedroom home.



For owner-occupied homes, the same legislation applies — but the deadline is 1st January 2027. That may sound like a way off, but demand will only increase as the date nears. Getting your upgrades sorted now means you won’t be scrambling last-minute or dealing with higher prices and long wait times as the deadline approaches.

At Smoke Alarmed, we handle these upgrades daily across the Sunshine Coast. We install both mains-powered and 10-year-lithium battery alarms and ensure everything is up to code, interconnected, and ready for inspection. Don’t leave it too late — get your compliance sorted now with expert advice and no-nonsense service from your local licensed electricians.
