Smoke Alarm & Fire Safety

Smoke Alarms & Fire Safety for Sunshine Coast Homes

The Queensland Government has mandated strict smoke alarm legislation for homes, with all dwellings needing to comply fully by 2027. On the Sunshine Coast – where summer heatwaves, summer storms, and older timber homes increase fire risks – staying updated with compliant smoke alarms is not just mandatory but crucial for peace of mind.

Our licensed electricians install hard-wired photoelectric smoke alarms across suburbs like Maroochydore, Buderim, Kawana, Caloundra, Mooloolaba, Noosa, and beyond. We don’t just install—we educate homeowners on placement, monthly testing, and annual servicing so you understand how your alarms work when you need them most.

If your smoke alarm is chirping at night, outdated, or not interconnected, it’s time to book an inspection. We provide compliance certificates for home sales, rental properties, and peace of mind for families.
