SMOKE ALARM UPGRADES

The introduction of the Queensland government's new smoke alarm laws has placed additional requirements on property owners and property managers. Rental properties must have smoke alarms that meet the new standards from January 2022.  Owners of private residential properties must meet the new standards by January 2027. The new laws require smoke alarms to be: 

 

- photoelectric, complying with Australian Standard 3786-2014,

- powered by an enduring power source,

- interconnected, and

- installed in prescribed locations, including all bedrooms.

 

Quickcheck has introduced an upgrade service that will ensure that smoke alarms are correctly installed and meet new standards. 

As a locally based electrical contractor, our price is lower than our larger competitors and is tax deductible for rental property owners.

 

For $165 per smoke alarm, we will install the correct number and type of smoke alarms required for compliance.  This includes:

• The installation of quality photoelectric smoke alarms (AS3786:2014) with a 10 year warranty.
• The replacement of existing 240 Volt and installation of wireless smoke alarms in all other locations.
• The interconnection of all smoke alarms (hardwired where required, or wirelessly).
• Install a wireless, wall mounted Smoke Alarm Controller so that occupants can instantly deal with false alarms (at rental properties)
• All materials and labour
• A quality safety switch, if applicable
• A safety switch test
• A smoke alarm compliance report and electrical compliance certificate.
• A guarantee that your property meets with the new requirements!
• Free on-site training and "instruction sheets" for occupants.
• One year's free membership on our Annual Compliance Program (for rental properties, valid from date of upgrade).

We have specialised in the installation, replacement and maintenance of smoke alarms since 2007 and will continue to ensure that the properties we service are smoke alarm compliant.

Our licensed electricians will install a quality smoke alarm system tailored to best protect property and ensure the safety of tenants. Other electricians offering a lower cost may not have the experience and knowledge to correctly locate smoke alarms, and reduce costs by not protecting the smoke alarm circuit with a safety switch, or by using inferior components.

SPECIAL UPGRADE OFFER FOR RENTAL PROPERTY OWNERS!

The Smoke Alarm Controller is a great new product (like a wireless remote controller) that allows tenants to easily identify, locate and silence false activating smoke alarms.   

 

We also include a safety switch test and installation of a safety switch, if required.
