Queensland's smoke alarm laws apply to every home from 1 January 2027. Rentals and homes sold since 2022 already need to comply. Here's what's required.
Alarms must be photoelectric, meet Australian Standard AS 3786-2014 and not contain an ionisation sensor.
Every alarm in the home must be linked, so when one goes off they all go off.
In every bedroom, in hallways that connect bedrooms to the rest of the home, and on every level.
Alarms must be hardwired, or use a non-removable 10-year battery, and be less than 10 years old.
Summary only. See the Queensland Fire Department website for full requirements.
Old halogen downlights use around 50 watts each. LEDs use about 9. Set your numbers and see what switching could save each year.
0 kWh less power a year, and LEDs run far cooler, which helps in the Hervey Bay heat.
Rough guide only, using 50 W halogen and 9 W LED. Check your bill for your actual power price. Penny Electrical will quote the swap properly.
