Your safety is paramount
Installing functioning, up-to-date smoke alarms in your home is crucial for you and your family’s safety in the event of a fire. The risk of injury, death, and property damage is significantly higher without properly installed smoke alarms. In addition, not having a compliant smoke alarm system can lead to legal and financial consequences.
At Mountain Man Electrical, we understand the importance of a reliable smoke alarm system and offer solutions that meet all Queensland legislative guidelines. Our licensed electricians can assess your home and provide recommendations for smoke detector installation or replacement, ensuring your smoke alarm system is up to scratch and keeping your family safe.
What types of alarms can we install?
There are two main types of smoke alarms: ionization smoke alarms and photoelectric smoke alarms.
Ionization smoke alarms are better at detecting fast-burning fires, such as those caused by paper or cooking oil, while photoelectric smoke alarms are better at detecting slow-burning, smouldering fires, such as those caused by electrical faults or burning furniture.
Photoelectric smoke alarms are required under Queensland’s new smoke alarm legislation because they are less prone to false alarms, which can be frustrating and inconvenient. They are also better at detecting smoke from smouldering fires, which produce more smoke and are more likely to occur in residential settings.
At Mountain Man Electrical, we offer smoke alarm solutions that meet all Queesland legislative guidelines, including hardwired interconnected photoelectric smoke alarm systems and battery only photoelectric smoke alarm with sealed 10 year lithium and wireless interconnect capabilities. When our licensed electricians assess your home, they will provide recommendations for what would work best for you and your specific needs.

Frequently Asked Questions
In 2017, new legislation was introduced in Queensland mandating the installation of interconnected photoelectric smoke alarms in all residential buildings.These smoke alarms must be installed in every bedroom, in hallways that connect bedrooms and the rest of the dwelling, and on every level of the home. Initially this was required in commercial buildings, rental properties, new builds and homes for sale. By 2027 the interconnected hardwired smoke alarm systems will be required in all homes across Queensland.
The best way to stay compliant with the new legislation is to get hardwired interconnected photoelectric smoke alarms installed by a licensed electrician. At Mountain Man Electrical, we offer smoke alarm solutions that meet all Queensland legislative guidelines.
