Smoke Alarm Installation Services in Hervey Bay
We install and replace smoke alarm systems in commercial and residential properties throughout Hervey Bay and surrounds. Our team of qualified and experienced electricians are efficient yet thorough and can be relied on to get the job done as quickly as possible without compromising on quality.
Fire alarm systems are an important safety feature of any property and they need to be installed professionally to ensure that they meet all legal requirements. Many people are not aware of the recent updates to fire alarm laws in Queensland which state the specific type, positioning and interconnectedness of your smoke alarms. All new houses must be built to these specifications and existing houses have a few years to transition to the new system.
Our team of electricians are experienced in installing fire alarms to meet the new requirements and can assist you in ensuring that your home is meeting all of its legal requirements. For more information regarding our smoke alarm installation services, contact our team today on 0408 857 349.

Smoke Alarms for Existing Houses:
There are several updates to legislation that affect existing dwellings but home owners will have 10 years from January 2017 to comply with the new laws. If the property undergoes major renovations during that time then they will be required to upgrade at that point, and if the property is leased or sold then it needs to meet compliance within five years.
If you are having renovations done to your existing home then we can install your new smoke detectors in compliance with the new laws, in addition to any other electrical services that you require such as light fittings, ceiling fans and power points.
Smoke alarms should be tested regularly, and the battery replaced every year. It is essential to clean the alarms from dust and other debris regularly to maintain optimal performance. Elcraft Electrical Solutions offers maintenance services for smoke alarms to ensure they function correctly over the long term
The latest update to the Australia Standard for smoke alarms, introduced in Queensland in 2017, requires all new and extensively renovated homes to have interconnected photoelectric smoke alarms installed in all living spaces and every bedroom, including hallways that connect these areas. Existing homes have until January 2027 to comply with the new standards. It is important to have a professional electrician familiar with these standards to help ensure all installations are in line with the latest regulations.
We operate primarily in the Hervey Bay area and surrounding areas.
