From 1 January 2027 every Queensland home must have interconnected photoelectric smoke alarms. We supply and install RED Professional alarms for $120 + GST each, with a certificate of compliance for every job.
Queensland's smoke alarm laws have been phased in since 2017. Rentals and homes being sold have had to comply since 1 January 2022. From 1 January 2027 the same rules apply to every home in Queensland, including owner-occupied houses and units.

The requirements above are a summary. The official rules are on the Queensland Fire Department website (fire.qld.gov.au). We'll check your home against them on the day.
We use the RED Professional range, a photoelectric alarm with a 10-year lithium battery that interconnects wirelessly. There's no new cabling through your walls or ceilings, so most homes are done in a few hours with very little mess.
$120 + GST per alarm, supplied and installed. That includes testing, interconnection and a certificate of compliance you can keep for your insurer, a future sale or a tenancy. A typical three-bedroom single-storey home needs 4–5 alarms. Call or send the form and we'll tell you exactly how many your place needs.
Every home in Queensland that isn't compliant has the same deadline, and electricians' diaries fill up fast in the last few months of the year. Book now and it's one less thing to think about.
Don't wait it out and don't guess. Call us any hour — we'll find the fault, make it safe, and get you back on.

Yes. Every install comes with an NF Trades certificate of compliance listing each alarm and its location.
