Why it’s important to upgrade your smoke alarms
Queensland legislation mandates that by 1 January 2027, all existing private homes, townhouses, and units must have interconnected photoelectric smoke alarms installed in every bedroom, hallway, and on each level. Jaric Electrical is here to help you navigate these requirements with ease and confidence.
Understanding the New Smoke Alarm Requirements
From 1 January 2027, all existing homes in Queensland must meet updated smoke alarm legislation. This includes installing photoelectric smoke alarms in every bedroom, hallway, and on each level of the home.
All alarms must be interconnected, meaning if one sounds, they all sound - providing a critical early warning in the event of fire. They also need to be powered by either hardwired 240V or a non-removable 10-year lithium battery to ensure long-lasting protection and compliance.
