Interconnectable Photoelectric Smoke Alarms, with a 10 year lithium battery backup, is the new legal requirement for all Queensland homes.

At Smoke Alarms Plus (Brisbane - Gold Coast, QLD), our qualified technicians can advise you on what Smoke Alarms are best suited to meet the specific requirements of your home.
To fit into a any budget we can offer interest-free weekly or fortnightly payment plans, available through Openpay.

PROPERTY SELLERS
COMPLIANCE
From 1 January 2022, smoke alarms in properties sold must meet new compliance requirements prior to contract signing.
The new legislation adds several new complex requirements to current smoke alarm legislation, including:
-
be installed in each bedroom as well as on each storey and in hallways which connect bedrooms and the rest of the dwelling;
-
be photoelectric, comply to AS 3786-2014, and powered by either 240 volt or a 10-year lithium battery; and
-
be interconnected with every other smoke alarm in the dwelling so all activate together.
To ease the stress of the sales process, Smoke Alarms Plus offer a professional and prompt sellers compliance service. We recommend that vendors contact us at the time of listing to avoid last minute delays. Smoke Alarms Plus will inspect and upgrade if necessary, to ensure properties being sold are compliant at the time of sale to the 2022 legislation.
The new requirements will be a condition of the contract and failure to comply may put the property sale in jeopardy.
