Our sparkies provide professional smoke alarm installations and smoke alarm services for all types of Sunshine Coast property, including homes, businesses, and body corporate managed properties. Smoke alarms require professional installation, regular testing, and smoke alarm maintenance to ensure they comply with new smoke alarm laws and reduce potential fire hazards. New and substantially renovated homes must comply with smoke alarm regulations from January 1, 2017.
A qualified electrician should always be used for smoke alarm installations and any electrical work to guarantee safety and compliance. We install both photoelectric and ionisation types of smoke alarms—photoelectric alarms detect visible smoke particles from smouldering fires, while ionisation alarms detect smaller particles from flaming fires. Interconnected alarms and mains powered alarms are recommended, as interconnected alarms sound simultaneously throughout the property for maximum safety.
Regular smoke alarm servicing and maintenance help prevent false alarms and ensure all the alarms are functioning correctly. New smoke alarms and installed smoke alarms must comply with new smoke alarm legislation to provide early detection, reduce potential fire hazards, and help in potentially saving lives. Some modern smoke alarm systems can even be managed with a remote control for added convenience.
Smoke alarms are generally the first line of defence in a fire, providing an early warning that can give you the precious time you need to escape. Home smoke alarms are essential for your family’s safety, providing early detection of fires and helping to prevent house fires. Smoke alarms must be installed in all bedrooms and in hallways connecting bedrooms to the rest of the dwelling. Smoke alarms also help prevent fires from spreading by alerting people to danger early on. Modern smoke alarms are designed to detect smoldering fires as well as fast-flaming fires, offering comprehensive protection for your own home. That’s why it’s so important to make sure your smoke alarms are in working order and installed properly. Here are some things to keep in mind when it comes to smoke alarms:

If you do not comply with the Queensland smoke alarm laws, you may be issued with an on-the-spot fine of $200. If you are found to be non-compliant during a routine fire safety inspection, you may also be ordered to undertake rectification works and issued with a Fire Safety Notice. Smoke alarms manufactured more than 10 years ago must be replaced to ensure compliance with new legislation. Additionally, if your property is damaged or destroyed by fire and it is found that you were not compliant with the relevant laws, your insurance claim may be rejected.
Interconnected fire alarms can help to prevent fires from spreading by sounding an alarm as soon as a fire is detected. This can give people time to extinguish the fire before it has a chance to spread. Interconnected fire alarms can also help firefighters locate the source of a fire more quickly, which can help to reduce damage and save lives.
Most smoke alarms will last for around 10 years. However, it is important to check your alarm regularly to make sure it is still working properly. Smoke alarms should be replaced every 10 years to ensure their effectiveness and reliability. You can do this by pressing the test button on the alarm. If the alarm sounds, then it is still working correctly. If it does not sound, then you should replace the battery and test again. If the alarm still does not work, then you should replace the entire unit.
