Before you book anyone, check these 5 things

  1. Got hardwired (240V) alarms now?

    Queensland law requires existing hardwired alarms to be replaced with hardwired alarms. A battery-only DIY kit won’t make those homes compliant — and that work must be done by a licensed electrician.

  2. Are they all interconnected?

    When one alarm sounds, every alarm in the home must sound. We use wireless interconnect — no cutting into your ceilings to run cables.

  3. Is there a call-out fee?

    Many “per alarm” prices add a call-out or service fee on top. No call-out fee within 30 minutes of Robina. The price you see is the price you pay — travel is shown upfront if you’re further out.

  4. Who stands behind the warranty?

    A cheap alarm is only cheap until it fails. Ask who you call in year 4 — we use established brands with Australian support.

  5. Will you get proper paperwork?

    For any 240V work you get a Certificate of Testing & Compliance from a licensed electrical contractor, plus a written compliance report with photos of every alarm.

One range. Fully compliant.

Questions

What does the law require?

Interconnected photoelectric alarms in every bedroom, in hallways connecting bedrooms (or on the path of travel to the exit if there are no bedrooms on that level), and on every storey. Alarms must be under 10 years old, and existing hardwired alarms must be replaced with hardwired alarms.

Can you just check my alarms?

Yes — a compliance inspection is $110 (plus travel if you’re further out). We check every alarm against the 2027 law and email you a written report with photos the same day. If you go ahead with the install within 30 days, the $110 is credited back.

When is the deadline?

All Queensland homes must comply by 1 January 2027. Rental properties and homes being sold have had to comply since 1 January 2022.

Do I need hardwired alarms?

Only if you already have them. If your home has existing 240V alarms, they must be replaced with 240V alarms. Otherwise sealed 10-year lithium wireless alarms are fully compliant.

How long does it take?

Most homes are done in one to two hours.

Is there a call-out fee?

No call-out fee within 30 minutes of Robina. The price you see is the price you pay — travel is shown upfront if you’re further out. Prices include GST. Payment on completion.
