For expert smoke alarm installation, repairs, testing or maintenance, MC Power are the Gold Coast smoke alarm specialists. 

When you sleep, your sense of smell also sleeps. If a fire starts, toxic fumes can overcome you.

Photoelectric smoke alarms see smoke and will alert you early, so you can escape. With interconnected alarms, you will be alerted no matter where you are, or where the fire starts. New legislation specifies the type, positioning, and interconnectedness of alarms, which are critical factors for an early warning and quick escape. To give your family the best chance of surviving a house fire, QFES recommends updating your smoke alarms to match the new legislation as soon as you can. In the meantime, make sure all your alarms are working and properly maintained.

A well-practised fire escape plan will also ensure a quick escape.If you require any further information regarding the maintenance or installation of your smoke alarms, please contact MC Power Electrical on 0432 022 294.

Have you checked your smoke alarms lately?

All smoke alarms require replacement every 10 years. After this time, the efficiency of a smoke alarm may be compromised with accumulated dust and insects.

Smoke alarms save lives, there’s no doubt about it!

Changes to smoke alarm legislation in Queensland are rolling out. This applies to:

• New dwellings and dwellings being substantially renovated – From 1 January 2017

• Dwellings being sold, leased or an existing lease is renewed – From 1 January 2022

• For existing dwellings – From 1 January 2027

Smoke alarms in all dwellings must:

1. be photoelectric (AS 3786-2014); and

2. not also contain an ionisation sensor; and

3. be less than 10 years old; and

4. operate when tested; and

5. be interconnected with every other smoke alarm in the dwelling so all activate together.

Smoke alarms must be installed on each storey:

1. in each bedroom; and

2. in hallways which connect bedrooms and the rest of the dwelling; or

3. if there is no hallway, between the bedrooms and other parts of the storey; and

4. if there are no bedrooms on a storey at least one smoke alarm must be installed in the most likely path of travel to exit the dwelling.

*Smoke alarms must be either hardwired or powered by a non-removable 10-year battery.
