Every upgrade includes a 12-month service warranty. If any alarm we install develops a fault within that period, we’ll attend and replace it if needed — at no cost to you. After the first 12-months, your product warranty with the manufacturer still applies, and we’re happy to assist with replacements. However, a service call-out fee will apply for our visit. Please note: if the issue is due to dirt, damage, or is not covered by the manufacturer’s warranty, a service fee may also apply. Want to know more? See full warranty terms.

Queensland Smoke Alarm Legislation:
What You Need to Know and Why It Matters
By 1 January 2027, all Queensland homes must meet updated smoke alarm legislation.
Upgrading your smoke alarms gives your family the best chance of escaping safely in the event of a fire — even if everyone is asleep behind closed doors.
To comply, your home must have:
- Photoelectric alarms (AS 3786–2014)
- Interconnected alarms — if one sounds, they all sound
- Alarms less than 10 years old
- Alarms in every bedroom
- Alarms in hallways outside bedrooms, or in the most likely path of escape if no hallway exists
We take care of all of this during your upgrade — so you’re fully compliant, protected, and future-ready.

Ask Smokey - FAQs
Existing smoke alarms manufactured more than 10 years ago must be replaced with photoelectric smoke alarms which comply with Australian Standards (AS) 3786-2014, the date should be stamped on the back.
Smoke alarms that do not operate when tested must be replaced immediately with AS3786-2014 compliant photoelectric smoke alarms. Replacement alarms must be like for like. For example, 240-volt hard wired alarms must be replaced with 240-volt smoke alarms.
From 1 Jan 2027, all smoke alarms are required to be interconnected and installed in the following locations:
– On each storey
– In each bedroom
– In hallways that connect bedrooms and the rest of the dwelling
– If there is no hallway, between the bedroom and other parts of the storey; and
– If there are no bedrooms on a story, at least one smoke alarm must be installed in the most likely path of travel to exit the dwelling.
Yes. From Jan 1 2022, all homes or units being sold will require hardwired photoelectric, interconnected smoke alarms. It is the seller’s obligation to ensure that the property has compliant smoke alarms before settlement
Smoke alarms in the dwelling must:
– be photoelectric (AS3786-2014); and
– not also contain an ionisation sensor; and
– be hardwired to the mains power supply, if currently hardwired. Otherwise, smoke alarms can be either hardwired or powered by a non removable 10 year battery or a combination of both.
– be interconnected with every other smoke alarm in the dwelling so all activate together.
The new legislation requires smoke alarms to be installed in the following locations:
– On each storey
– In each bedroom
– In hallways that connect bedrooms and the rest of the dwelling
– If there is no hallway, between the bedroom and other parts of the storey; and
– If there are no bedrooms on a story, at least one smoke alarm must be installed in the most likely path of travel to exit the dwelling.
Our upgrade prices are per alarm and include GST and installation. There are no hidden costs.
While the cheapest model on offer may be tempting, it is not always the best value. Quality smoke alarms may require more of an initial investment, but their higher quality components cope better with the harsh, humid Queensland environment.
At Coast Smoke Alarms, our preferred model of smoke alarm is Cavius. All Cavius smoke alarms are individually built by hand and contain the highest quality components. Backed by a 10-year warranty, the complete lifespan of the smoke alarm, these Danish-designed alarms are the best value for money alarms that we stock.
Upgrading your home’s smoke alarms will increase your family’s protection should there be a fire in your home. Interconnected alarms and alarms in bedrooms ensure everyone is alerted to a fire, even if they are asleep in bedrooms with doors closed, giving you and your family more time to escape safely. QFES recommend upgrading your property as soon as possible.
