QLD Smoke Alarm Legislation – What Palmwoods Homeowners Need to Know
The Queensland Government updated smoke alarm legislation to reduce fire-related deaths and injuries. The new requirements are stricter than before. Ionisation alarms, standalone battery-only alarms and alarms older than 10 years no longer meet the standard. All alarms must be photoelectric type and interconnected so that when one alarm activates, all alarms in the home sound simultaneously. This gives every occupant maximum warning time to evacuate safely.
Jackson Electrical & Air has helped hundreds of Sunshine Coast homeowners and landlords meet these requirements. We handle everything from a single alarm replacement to a full-house installation across your Palmwoods property.
