Smoke alarm installation & upgrades, South East Queensland
Residential smoke alarm installation and upgrades to help keep your home electrically safe and aligned with current Queensland smoke alarm requirements.
Residential smoke alarms
Smoke alarms are a small part of the electrical system, but they play an important role in protecting the people living in the home.
We install and upgrade residential smoke alarms as part of our broader electrical services, with the aim of keeping the property safe and compliant with current Queensland requirements.
If you are unsure whether your existing setup needs attention, we can review what is currently installed and explain what work is required.
When to review your alarms and how we help
We look at what is currently installed and what is changing in the home before confirming the smoke alarm work required.
When to review your smoke alarms

Older or damaged alarms may need to be replaced rather than left in place.
- 02You are renovating
Electrical work or changes to the home can be a good opportunity to review the existing smoke alarm setup at the same time.

Smoke alarm work can be included alongside lighting, switchboards, powerpoints and other residential electrical upgrades.
