What Type of Smoke Alarms Do You Need?
Photoelectric Smoke Alarms
Recommended by fire departments and now required under QLD legislation. These detect visible particles of combustion — ideal for smouldering fires that happen while you sleep.
We use only Australian-approved, photoelectric models that meet AS 3786:2014 standards.
Interconnected Alarms
All alarms must “talk” to each other. If smoke is detected in one room, every alarm in the house sounds. Our smoke alarm installation gold coast service ensures correct placement, safe wiring, and wireless interconnect where appropriate.
10-Year Lithium Battery Alarms
Even when mains-powered, Queensland law requires backup batteries. We install 10-year lithium options no annoying chirping or constant replacements.
