Frequently Asked Questions

How do I test my smoke alarm correctly?

To test your smoke alarm, press and hold the "test" button until the alarm sounds. If you have interconnected alarms, all units should sound at the same time. This test checks the sound and interconnectivity, but you should also check that the alarm is free from dust and hasn’t expired.

Always refer to the manufacturer’s instructions and test monthly to ensure the system is functioning properly.
What does a flashing red light on my smoke alarm mean?

A flashing red light on a smoke alarm usually indicates that the unit is working and actively monitoring the air. In most models, the red light blinks once every 30 to 60 seconds as a normal operation indicator.

If it’s flashing more rapidly or accompanied by beeping, this could mean low battery, sensor error or a fault in the unit. Always refer to the user manual for your specific model.
Can old smoke alarms be reused in new compliance upgrades?

Usually not. Queensland law requires smoke alarms to be less than 10 years old and to meet specific photoelectric and interconnection requirements. If your existing alarms don’t match these conditions—even if they’re working—they’ll need replacing.

Alarms from before 2017 often don’t meet current standards, and reusing them could leave your property non-compliant and unsafe in an emergency.
Why is my smoke alarm chirping every few minutes?

A regular chirping sound typically means the smoke alarm battery is low or the unit has reached the end of its life. If it’s a sealed 10-year alarm, the entire unit will need to be replaced.

Dust, insects or humidity can also trigger warning chirps. Start by cleaning the unit and checking the battery. If the chirping continues, replace the alarm to stay protected and avoid false alerts.
