We Can Supply & Install Alarms
Smoke alarms aren’t just a safety requirement — they’re a lifesaver. They give you early warning when seconds matter most and help protect the people and things you care about.
At Mozzlec Electrical & Airconditioning, we work with homeowners across Hervey Bay to supply and install smoke alarms that are reliable, correctly positioned and up to date with Queensland regulations.
We’ve seen too many homes with outdated or incorrectly installed alarms that wouldn’t respond properly in an emergency. That’s why we take the time to do it right, from choosing the right type of alarm to ensuring full coverage across all required areas of your home.
If you’re not sure your smoke alarms are compliant or due for replacement, give us a call on 0429 542 458 and let’s make sure your home is protected.
Stay Compliant & Protected
New smoke alarm legislation means many homes now need interconnected alarms in every bedroom, hallway and on each level.
These aren’t just checkboxes for compliance — they’re part of a smarter, faster warning system that helps keep you and your family safe. We install both hardwired and wireless models depending on your setup and make sure each alarm is installed where it needs to be. We also replace expired or faulty alarms and test the system to ensure it’s working as it should.
With correct placement and up-to-date technology, smoke alarms do their job without getting in the way. Reach out to schedule your upgrade and take the guesswork out of home safety.
When Smoke Alarms Should Be Replaced
Smoke alarms don’t last forever. Most smoke alarms have a lifespan of around 10 years, after which the internal sensors can become less reliable. Even if the alarm still beeps during testing, it may not detect smoke as quickly as it should.
Other signs that a smoke alarm may need replacing include frequent false alarms, delayed response during testing or alarms that stop working even after replacing the battery.
Checking the manufacture date and replacing older units helps ensure your smoke alarms continue to provide reliable early warning and keep your household protected.
How often should smoke alarms be replaced?
Smoke alarms should be replaced every 10 years, even if they still appear to work. Over time, their sensors lose accuracy and may not detect smoke properly. Check the manufacture date on the back of the unit. If it’s more than a decade old, it’s time to upgrade.
Do smoke alarms need to be interconnected?
Yes, under Queensland law, all smoke alarms in homes must be interconnected. This means when one alarm goes off, they all sound together. Interconnected alarms provide faster and more widespread warning in the event of smoke or fire, giving everyone in the home more time to react.
Where should smoke alarms be installed in a house?
Smoke alarms must be installed in every bedroom, hallway and on each level of the home. They should be mounted on the ceiling, away from air vents or corners. Placement matters — alarms need to detect smoke quickly without being triggered by everyday steam or cooking.
