This article is a timely reminder for QLD homeowners — the 1 January 2027 deadline for smoke alarm compliance in owner-occupied homes is now only 7 months away.
More than one million Queensland homes may still be non-compliant - and if the 2022 rental property rush is anything to go by, the same scramble for installers and supply is coming. Expect tradespeople to be booked out and pricing to firm as availability tightens.
Here's the thing — you can't lose by getting it done now.
If you're researching providers, here's what to look for:
🔹 Quality alarms — no annual battery replacement needed
🔹 Alarms that won't false alarm from steam or dust
🔹 A provider that services your area and installs quickly
🔹 Upfront, instant pricing — no surprises
Taskforce services all of Queensland. Our alarms are high quality, long-life and can be silenced with your TV remote 📺 — no more climbing on chairs when you burn the toast.
