Understanding Brisbane’s Smoke Alarm Legislation
Understanding Queensland’s New Smoke Alarm Legislation
As of January 1, 2027, all Queensland homes must be equipped with interconnected photoelectric smoke alarms. These alarms must be installed in every bedroom, in hallways that connect bedrooms to the rest of the dwelling, and on every level of the home. The legislation mandates that smoke alarms:
- Be photoelectric and comply with Australian Standard AS 3786-2014.
- Not contain an ionisation sensor.
- Be less than 10 years old.
- Be interconnected with every other required smoke alarm in the dwelling.
- Be hardwired or powered by a non-removable 10-year battery.
These requirements are designed to provide early warning and ensure all occupants have the maximum time to escape in the event of a fire.

At Precision Electrical & Air, we offer comprehensive smoke alarm installation services to ensure your home meets the latest safety standards. Our services include:
- Maintenance and Testing: Providing ongoing maintenance services, including regular testing and battery replacement, to ensure your smoke alarms remain in optimal working condition.
- Assessment and Consultation: Evaluating your property’s layout to determine optimal smoke alarm placement in compliance with Queensland regulations.
- Professional Installation: Installing high-quality, compliant photoelectric smoke alarms with precision and care.
- Interconnection Setup: Ensuring all smoke alarms are interconnected, so when one is triggered, all alarms in the dwelling activate simultaneously.
What Does Interconnected Alarms Mean?
Interconnected alarms mean if one goes off, they all go off, amplifying the alert throughout the property.
This system ensures that everyone, regardless of where they are in the house, receives an immediate warning and has ample time to escape.
Why Photoelectric Alarms?
Unlike older models, such as ionisation smoke detectors, which often give false alarms due to steam or burnt toast, photoelectric alarms are precise and respond to a wide range of fires.
They are especially good at detecting dense smoke and smouldering fires, which produce more smoke than flames and are the single most common cause of house fires.
