Let’s be honest, most people don’t think about their smoke alarms until they start beeping in the middle of the night. Annoying, right? But the truth is, those little alarms are what can save your life when things go wrong. At Safe Tech Electrical, we’ve been installing and fixing smoke alarms around the Gold Coast for years now. And we don’t muck around, we do it properly.
We’re local sparkies. No fancy franchises, no overseas call centres. Just local blokes and ladies who actually care about keeping homes and families safe. Whether it’s a brand-new install or a dodgy alarm that won’t shut up, we’ll sort it out quickly, cleanly, and for a fair price.
Why Smoke Alarms Matter More Than You Think
We’ve been to plenty of homes where the alarms were still up there on the ceiling but completely dead. Flat batteries, old sensors, or worse, the wrong type installed. It’s scary, honestly.
Queensland’s new smoke alarm laws aren’t just for show. They’re about making sure every home has interconnected photoelectric alarms, ones that all go off together. If a fire starts in one room, the rest of the house gets the warning too. Gives everyone extra seconds to get out. And those seconds can mean everything.
When you book with us, we’ll check your setup, explain what needs changing, and install alarms that actually meet Australian standards not cheap online ones that stop working in a year.
Our Smoke Alarm Services Across the Gold Coast
We do the lot:
- New Smoke Alarm Installations: For new builds, renos or upgrades to meet the 2027 QLD safety requirements.
- Smoke Alarm Repair in Gold Coast: Fixing beeping, flashing, or randomly-triggering alarms.
- Battery & Sensor Checks: We’ll make sure your alarms still respond like they should.
- Hardwired & Wireless Systems: We handle both, depending on your setup and budget.

We’ve done jobs everywhere , Southport units, Burleigh family homes, even a few beachfront rentals where the salty air kept setting alarms off. We know what works around here.
When to Replace Your Smoke Alarms
If your alarm’s more than 10 years old, it’s probably past its best. The sensors wear out, even if it still look fine. We’ve pulled plenty down that haven’t gone off in years and that’s the scary bit.
Also, if your alarms chirp even after a battery change, or they go off from steam or dust, they likely need replacing. Don’t wait for a fire or an inspection notice, give us a call. It’s quick, cheap, and gives you peace of mind.

A Bit About What We See on the Job
You’d be surprised how many times we find alarms stuck near air-con vents or windows places where smoke never even reaches. Or someone’s painted right over them. Happens more often than you’d think.
We’ve also helped plenty of landlords get their rentals up to code. Some were just missing a single link in the system one extra alarm made them compliant again. Little things like that can make a big difference.
