Smoke Alarm Installation Brisbane
Smoke alarms are a vital part of safety in EVERY home!
Do your smoke alarms meet the new requirements?
From 1 January 2027, Queensland’s deadline for household smoke alarm compliance will be enforced, which is why it’s vital to ensure your dwelling meets the Australian Standards AS 3786-2014. This is not just a safety issue – it could affect your home insurance, too. We’re here to help you understand the new requirements and to give you peace of mind that your smoke alarm obligations are met.
Smoke alarms
Installing smoke alarms in various locations around your home will allow for fast and effective fire detection, possibly saving lives. They are such an important factor and we can help you find the best smoke alarm solution for your family and home.
Through our years of experience, we have learnt that quality and reliability of smoke alarms is extremely important. This is why we highly recommend and choose Brooks Smoke Alarms. They are the industry leaders in smoke alarm manufacturing, research and development, and we will only put our name behind the best!

The following is a summary of what each home will need to be compliant:
- At least 1 smoke alarm is required on each level of a home.
- There must be a smoke alarm in any passageway or corridor leading to bedrooms.
- If a corridor or passageway does not lead to a bedroom, but could be an escape path, then smoke alarms should be fitted in this path.
- In Queensland, all bedrooms should contain photoelectric smoke alarms.
- All smoke alarms in the home should be interconnected.
Call our team on 1300 385 599 and ask about our Electrical Safety Compliance Bundle to ensure your home meets the new standards.
All Brooks smoke alarms have a maximum service life of 10 years, after which they need to be replaced.
When smoke alarms are interconnected in your home, this means that they communicate with each other in the case of a fire. If one smoke alarm activates, the rest of the interconnected smoke alarms in the home also go off, helping to alert all the people within the home.
Mains powered smoke alarms are hard wired to be permanently connected to the mains power supply and can only be done by a licenced electrician. Battery powered smoke alarms are to only be used when there is no connection to the main power (perhaps due to a hidden space) or unable to run the wiring (such as a concrete ceiling).
Yes, before you put your home on the market, you will need to ensure that you are compliant with the Australian Standards. We can visit your home and let you know where you need to install or replace smoke alarms so you don’t have any issues when selling your home.
Brooks photoelectric smoke alarms have full wireless capability in both their 240v and battery only models. These are used in situations where running wires may be costly and unsightly.
As with anything, you get what you pay for. The quality of the Brooks alarms is outstanding, and we know your going to sleep better knowing you have the best protection available – without being woken up by false alarms!
It is very important to clean your smoke alarms regularly. This will help to minimise nuisance beeping or false alarms which can occur due to dust and bugs.
We work with body corporate managers to make sure common areas and apartments are fitted with reliable smoke alarms for fast and effective fire detection, compliant with current safety standards and regulations for your peace of mind.
