Installations, Upgrades & Replacements

New state-based legislation necessitates the following additional measures in QLD rental properties by 2022 and owner-occupied properties by 2027.

• Smoke alarms must be installed in every bedroom of a home
• All smoke alarms must be powered by either 240 volt or 10 year lithium battery
• All smoke alarms must be interconnected to each other (so that if one alarm sounds, they all do)
• All smoke alarms must be photoelectric (ionisation alarms, the most common form will not be allowed)
• All smoke alarms must meet new Australian Standard 3786:2014

For most owners, this will mean that majority of properties will need to be upgraded, as very few homes have alarms inside bedrooms.

In the short term an owner doesn’t have to do anything until 2021 if they don’t wish to (as long as their property meets existing legislation); however some owners may wish to be aware of what is required for their property moving forward.

Budget pricing for supply and installation of a hardwired photoelectric interconnectible smoke alarm is $140.00 each inc GST. Conditions apply for this installation charge i.e. access to ceiling space, property layout. CIR Electrical is more than happy to meet you on site to discuss required locations and run through your options.

CIR Electrical can provide a quote to upgrade your smoke alarms specific to your property free of charge.
