Smoke Alarm Compliance Services Brisbane
Since 1 January 2022, all Queensland rental properties have been required to meet the updated smoke alarm legislation. The laws are specific, the penalties for non-compliance are significant, and — most importantly — the consequences of inadequate smoke alarms in a rental property can be devastating.
Fused Air is the Brisbane electrician that landlords and property managers call to get compliant and stay compliant. We install Queensland-compliant interconnected photoelectric smoke alarms, carry out compliance testing and documentation, and provide the certification that property managers need for their records and that landlords need for their insurance.
We work efficiently across entire property portfolios — if you manage multiple properties in Brisbane and Moreton Bay, we can schedule compliance inspections and installations in batches to minimise your time and cost.

Smoke Alarm Compliance
Queensland Smoke Alarm Laws — 2022 Requirements
As of 1 January 2022, all Queensland rental properties must comply with the following requirements:
- Photoelectric type smoke alarms ONLY — ionisation type alarms do not comply
- Hardwired to 240V power supply with battery backup (or 10-year lithium battery in limited circumstances)
- Interconnected — when one activates, all activate simultaneously
- Installed in every bedroom
- Installed in every hallway connecting bedrooms to the rest of the dwelling
- Installed on every storey of the property
- Less than 10 years old (from manufacture date on the alarm)
- Functioning correctly — tested at commencement of each tenancy and every 12 months
For all other properties (owner-occupied, new sales): compliance required by 1 January 2027. Don’t wait — upgrade now.
Our Smoke Alarm Compliance Service
- Compliance Inspection
We inspect your existing smoke alarms and provide a written report identifying any non-compliant alarms — wrong type, not interconnected, older than 10 years, incorrectly positioned, or not hardwired.
- Compliance Installation
We install hardwired, interconnected photoelectric alarms to meet Queensland requirements — in every required location, correctly positioned, and with battery backup as required.
- Compliance Documentation
We provide a compliance certificate on completion — documenting the alarm brand, type, manufacture date, location, and installation date. This is the documentation your property manager, insurer, and tenants expect.
- Annual Testing Service
Queensland law requires smoke alarms to be tested at the commencement of each tenancy and every 12 months during a tenancy. We offer annual testing services for landlords and property managers across Brisbane.

Frequently Asked Questions
Non-compliant rental properties expose landlords to significant financial and legal risk. In the event of a fire, an insurer may refuse to pay claims if the property was not compliant. Tenants can also request compensation for non-compliance. The Queensland Fire and Emergency Services can issue notices requiring rectification.
Tenant confirmation is not a substitute for professional inspection and documented compliance. Queensland law requires alarms to be tested and certified — verbal confirmation from tenants does not satisfy this requirement.
Turn the alarm over and look for the word 'Photoelectric' or 'Optical' — if it says 'Ionisation' it does not comply with Queensland law. Also check the manufacture date — alarms older than 10 years must be replaced regardless of type.
Yes — we work directly with property managers and can schedule compliance inspections and installations across multiple properties in a single booking block. Ask about our property management portfolio pricing.
Yes — every installation and compliance inspection is documented with a compliance certificate specifying the alarm brand, manufacture date, installation location, and date of installation. This is the documentation that satisfies Queensland's requirements.
