Queensland legislation has progressively tightened smoke alarm requirements. By 1 January 2027 every home in Queensland – regardless of age – must have interconnected, photoelectric, hardwired or 10-year-sealed smoke alarms in every bedroom, every hallway outside a bedroom, and on every storey. New builds and major renovations have been under this rule since 1 January 2022.
Faze Electrical installs Queensland-compliant smoke alarms across Brisbane south, Logan, Ipswich, Springfield, and the northern Gold Coast. QBCC Electrical Contractor Licence 90552. Fixed price quotes, no callout fee.

What Queensland legislation requires
The current Queensland legislation under the Fire and Emergency Services Act 1990 (sec 104RB) requires:
- Smoke alarms must be photoelectric (not ionisation – those are being phased out).
- Alarms must be interconnected – when one detects smoke, all of them sound.
- Alarms must be hardwired with battery backup OR powered by a 10-year non-removable lithium battery.
- Required in every bedroom, in every hallway connecting bedrooms, on every storey.
Authority on this: Queensland Fire and Emergency Services.
For owner-occupiers the compliance deadline is 1 January 2027. For sales and new leases the obligation is now (since 1 January 2022 for new builds and major renos; for property sales the obligation rolled in for properties sold or newly leased after the 2022 date).
Hardwired vs 10-year sealed – which to choose
Hardwired interconnected smoke alarms (our most common install):
- Connected to mains power with 9V battery backup
- Interconnected via dedicated wire or wireless RF
- Lifespan ~10 years per alarm
- Pricier upfront, cheaper over 20 years
- Best for owner-occupiers and new builds
10-year sealed RF-interconnected:
- Self-contained 10-year lithium battery (sealed – no replacement)
- Interconnected wirelessly
- No electrical work needed (no holes through ceiling cavity)
- Higher upfront cost per unit but lower install cost
- Best for retrofit on slab-on-ground homes with no roof space, rentals where minimising mess matters
Hybrid – hardwired where existing wiring exists, RF for new bedrooms where running cable is hard. Common for older Queenslanders with limited ceiling access.
