Smoke alarms

Smoke alarm installation and compliance in Bundaberg

Queensland homes need interconnected photoelectric smoke alarms. Bryan installs, upgrades and tests them for homeowners, landlords and property managers across Bundaberg and the Wide Bay.

Smoke Alarms and Compliance done properly

Queensland smoke alarm law requires interconnected photoelectric alarms in every existing home by 1 January 2027, with homes that are sold needing to be upgraded before transfer. Hardwired alarms must be installed by a licensed electrician.

Smoke alarm jobs are usually simple to price, so Bryan can often quote them on the spot. He works with homeowners, landlords and real estate agents, and installs smoke alarms alongside other work like air conditioning and switchboard upgrades.

Handy terms: Compliance certificate The paperwork an electrician provides after testing completed work, confirming it was tested and is safe to use.

Bryan installed smoke detectors and the most amazing ceiling fan in our bedroom. Sorry Clipsal but this Voltex fan beats our old model hands down. It's quiet, efficient and has 5 speeds plus a remote control.

Highly recommend Bryan for all your electrical needs! From start to finish he was professional, prompt and extremely quick. We had installed, a new aircon, smoke alarms, switch board, ceiling fans (vortex fans are incredible! Worth their price in gold!), some lights and light switches. I highly recommend him and will be contacting Bryan for any work needed again!
