Protect Your Family with Interconnected Photoelectric & Wireless Smoke Alarms
Compliant. Connected. Life-Saving.
When it comes to safeguarding your home or investment property, installing photoelectric smoke alarms in Brisbane isn’t just a recommendation it’s a legal requirement. At P4 Electrical, we bring over a decade of hands-on expertise in designing, installing, and maintaining interconnected smoke alarm systems across Brisbane Southside. From wireless smoke alarm upgrades to full compliance retrofits, we deliver peace of mind.
Since January 1st, 2022, Queensland legislation mandates that:
All new or significantly renovated homes must have photoelectric smoke alarms
These alarms must be interconnected, meaning when one sounds, they all do
They must be installed in every bedroom, hallway, and storey
Wireless interconnected smoke alarms are permitted and often preferred for retrofits
If you're in Brisbane Southside, our licensed electricians ensure your home meets every compliance standard with fast, tidy installations.
Photoelectric smoke alarms detect smouldering fires early long before flames appear. Here's why they're the preferred option:
Detect fires from fabric, foam, and furnishings sooner
Fewer false alarms than ionization alarms
Required under QLD law
Safer for sleeping occupants due to faster response time
With a tailored installation from P4 Electrical, we ensure the correct placement and positioning of each alarm for optimal coverage
