About Us

Our mission statement – to increase fire protection safety in homes around Australia by providing quality smoke alarms – at affordable prices.

Hello!

We are Ben and Christian Bassos, two brothers from Queensland with combined professional backgrounds in industrial safety and e-commerce. Our smoke alarm business was successfully launched in 2019 to help improve fire protection safety in Australian households.

Being landlords ourselves, we wanted to find a safe, hassle-free and affordable solution to the new QLD photoelectric interconnected smoke alarm laws.

We researched many different photoelectric smoke alarm manufacturers and trialled a number of products. During this process we gained a unique insight into what makes some smoke detectors better (or poorer) than others being sold on the Aussie market. Interconnected Smoke Alarms QLD is a result of that intensive research. Whilst our smoke alarms may not come with the same fancy packaging or glossy brochures of other smoke alarms, we genuinely believe ours are the best on the market.

Our personal values in life consist of integrity, hard work, and a positive attitude – we want these same values to be reflected in the way we do business. To that end we look forward to helping you protect your home and family against the hazards associated with a fire.

Kind Regards
Ben and Christian Bassos

It’s very rare these days to find good customer service and a good product but these guys do a great job. Christian was a pleasure to deal with and very knowledgeable of his products and was happy to call or respond to messages very quickly.

I have ordered a number of smoke alarms through Photoelectric. Christian was super helpful and easy to work with, highly recommend Photoelectric Smoke Alarms for your smoke detector needs.

Exceptional, professional and engaged with customer needs and problem solving. I placed two separate orders late one evening, realising I had to add an extra alarm for a 5-pack I had just purchased. I used the website "contact us" form in the hope of getting the orders consolidated into a single package, and also for the additional alarm to be synchronised / interconnected with the 5-pack. Christian called me first thing the next morning to confirm my requests, making sure I was happy with the solution he'd put in place. I had placed the orders and used the contact form at around 10pm Monday evening, received a call on Tuesday morning at 8:30am, and the package arrived today (Wednesday). We need more businesses like this.

I had ordered the wrong alarms, because 2 of my existing alarms were hard wired and couldn't legally be replaced with battery ones. I spoke to Christian on the phone for advice, and with no fuss, he refunded the ones I returned and sent the ones I needed. Excellent service.

I don’t really review products often but in this case I felt like I had to. I ordered 5 of these little beauties and they arrived just in time to save my house and likely my life. I’ve been living life on the edge without smoke alarms for years. but after having such a close call I can’t stress enough how important they are!! Because of this awesome product and such prompt shipping I live to see another day. Thanks so much
