Smoke Alarms | Electricians | Windsor, Ashgrove, Stafford, Everton Park

GLS Electrical provides you an effective and professional installation service. We install & set up smoke alarms to suit every need.

Since July 1997, all new and significantly renovated homes and units have been required to have mains-powered smoke alarms installed at the time of construction or alteration. A more recent law inclusion also requires owners of older (pre 1997) homes and units (Class 1 and sole occupancy units in class 2 buildings) to install and maintain smoke alarms.

Smoke alarms are very important domestic safety devices.  The risk of death from fire in a home is up to three times higher in homes without smoke alarms when compared to homes with smoke alarms.   In Queensland, about three-quarters of all home fire deaths happen in homes without smoke alarms and nearly half of deaths occur between 12am- 8am when people are sleeping.  This law requires homes and units that do not already have working smoke alarms installed to install smoke alarms.
