Smoke Alarm Installation on the Sunshine Coast
Keep your family safe with compliant smoke alarms
What counts as a compliant smoke alarm in QLD?
- Under Queensland law, smoke alarms in your home must be:
- Photoelectric (they detect smouldering smoke faster than old ionisation alarms)
- Interconnected (when one sounds, they all sound), either hardwired or wireless
- Hardwired or powered by a non-removable 10-year battery
- Installed in every bedroom, in hallways connecting bedrooms, and on every storey
If that does not describe your current setup, your home is not yet compliant. Our team can assess your existing smoke alarms and advise on any upgrades needed to meet Queensland’s requirements. For more information, read our guide to the QLD smoke alarm laws.
If your home already has hardwired smoke alarms, replacements must also be hardwired.

Smoke Alarms and your Switchboard
Hardwiring interconnected alarms draws on your home’s wiring, and older Sunshine Coast homes sometimes need a switchboard upgrade or a dedicated circuit to do it safely.
