Frequently Asked Questions

  • When do smoke alarms need to be replaced?

    Most smoke alarms have a lifespan of around 10 years. If your unit is older than this, frequently chirping or not responding during testing, it may need replacement. Checking the manufacture date on the back of the alarm can help determine whether an upgrade is required.

  • Do smoke alarms need to be interconnected?

    In Queensland, many properties must have interconnected smoke alarms so that when one activates, they all sound. This improves early warning across the entire home, particularly at night when bedroom doors are closed.

  • Where should smoke alarms be installed?

    Smoke alarms are generally required in each bedroom, in hallways connecting bedrooms and on every level of the home. Correct placement is important to meet legislation and ensure effective detection.
