How many smoke alarms do you need for your dwelling?

Recent changes in legislation in Queensland requires sellers and landlords of properties to have a photoelectric, interconnected smoke alarm in:

• Each bedroom
  

• In hallways that connect bedrooms
  

• At least one on every storey of a multi-level property, in the most likely route to exit

Determining the right number of smoke alarms for your home is crucial for effective fire detection.

According to fire safety experts, including those from the Queensland Fire and Emergency Services (QFES), inadequate coverage can delay response times, potentially turning a minor incident into a tragedy.

Photoelectric alarms, like the ones we specialize in, are particularly effective because they detect slow-smouldering fires, common in residential settings, faster than ionization types.

This is backed by studies from organizations like the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), which show photoelectric detectors reduce nuisance alarms while improving early warning for smoke from upholstery, bedding, or electrical faults.

In addition to the mandatory placements, we recommend considering high-risk areas like living rooms or garages for extra protection, even if not required by law.

Our wireless interconnected system ensures that if one alarm detects smoke, all units sound simultaneously, alerting everyone in the home regardless of location. This interconnected feature has been proven to save lives by providing more time to evacuate, especially in larger or multi-story homes.

10 Year Sealed Lithium Battery

The Activfire Accredited AJ-765si wireless interconnected photoelectric smoke alarm has a 10-year sealed Lithium Battery. No more worrying about changing batteries. This smoke detector is the unit required in bedrooms and hallways to ensure compliance with the new Australian regulations (QLD). We will pair your required number of alarms, test and show you how to self test ay any time in the future. Many of our customers throughout Australia have chosen to follow the QLD rules to minimize the risks in their homes.

What sets our Activfire-certified alarms apart is their rigorous testing and compliance with Australian standards, including AS 3786.

Activfire certification means each unit has undergone independent evaluation for reliability, durability, and performance under extreme conditions.

Our 2-year warranty covers parts and labour, giving you added assurance, while the included remote control simplifies maintenance, no more climbing ladders to test or silence alarms.

This user-friendly design is especially beneficial for elderly residents or those with mobility challenges, reducing the risk of falls during routine checks.

Regular self-testing, as facilitated by our remotes, aligns with QFES guidelines to ensure your system remains operational year-round.

Queensland Property Owners - Are you compliant?

Are you selling, renting or upgrading your property?

Requirements for smoke alarms in residential properties have recently changed in Queensland.

Queensland Certification Requirements

The alarms we install are Anka and are certified for use in all Australian states and territories.

Recent changes in legislation in Queensland requires sellers and landlords of properties to have a photoelectric, interconnected smoke alarm in each bedroom, in hallways that connect bedrooms and at least one on every storey of a multi-level property, in the most likely route to exit.

The 2022 updates to Queensland's smoke alarm legislation, enacted under the Fire and Emergency Services Act, aim to enhance fire safety amid rising incidents of residential fires.

These changes mandate photoelectric, interconnected alarms to address gaps in older systems, which often failed to provide adequate coverage.

For property owners, non-compliance can result in fines up to $600 for individuals or $3,000 for corporations, plus potential delays in property sales or rentals.

Even if you're not in Queensland, adopting these standards, as many of our interstate clients do, can lower insurance premiums and demonstrate proactive risk management.

Our Anka alarms are versatile, meeting requirements in states like New South Wales, Victoria, and beyond, with features like tamper-resistant batteries and low-battery alerts for long-term reliability.

We assist clients to navigate these regulations, ensuring smooth certifications for real estate transactions or tenancy agreements.

Common misconceptions include thinking battery-operated alarms are inferior; in reality, our 10-year sealed lithium models outperform many wired options by eliminating wiring hassles and power outage vulnerabilities.
