Fire prevention and preparedness are paramount in your home. In addition to the early fire warning provided by your ZEN Smoke Alarms, there is another hero in the toolkit of safety measures: the humble ZEN fire blanket. This unassuming yet highly effective tool can make a significant difference in protecting both your home and loved ones in the event of a fire emergency.
ZEN Fire Blanket – Immediate Action, Minimal Effort!
Imagine a small kitchen fire erupts from a stovetop mishap – a greasy frypan suddenly ignites, sending panic through the air. This is when the ZEN fire blanket shines. Unlike a fire extinguisher, which requires knowledge of operation and can potentially spread the fire if not used correctly, a fire blanket is incredibly simple to use. Just grab it, place it gently over the flames, and let it work.
The ZEN fire blanket quickly smothers the fire by cutting off its oxygen supply, effectively extinguishing it with minimal effort. It prevents flames from spreading, reduces smoke damage, and offers a fast, safe, and mess-free fire safety solution for your home.
ZEN Fire Blankets Are Simple And Easy To Use
One of the greatest advantages of the ZEN fire blanket is its simplicity. Designed to be user-friendly even in stressful situations, it doesn’t involve any complex mechanisms or technical knowledge. Simply pull down on the quick-release tabs and the ZEN fire blanket slides out from its protective pouch and is ready to use. This makes it ideal for everyone in the household, including children and elderly family members who may find fire extinguishers intimidating or difficult to operate.
Versatility In Application
While commonly associated with kitchen fires, fire blankets are versatile and can be used in other various scenarios. They are effective not only on stovetop fires but also on BBQ fires or fires caused by accidents around the home. Having a fire blanket means you’re prepared for these unpredictable moments, giving you confidence in your ability to respond to emergencies. In addition to the kitchen, you may also consider installing a fire blanket in the following locations; outdoor BBQ area, caravan, garage, car, workshop, boat, home office, backyard shed, carport or granny flat.
ZEN Smoke Alarms and ZEN Fire Blanket = Peace Of Mind
A ZEN fire blanket provides peace of mind, additional to your ZEN Smoke Alarms. It’s a proactive step towards ensuring the safety of your household, and empowers you to take action in the face of a fire emergency. Knowing you have a fire blanket readily accessible (in addition to your ZEN Smoke Alarms) helps alleviate anxiety and instils a sense of confidence that you’re prepared for the unexpected.
ZEN Smoke Alarms and ZEN Fire Blanket Conclusion
Whilst we all hope to never face a fire emergency, preparedness is key to safeguarding our homes and loved ones. A ZEN fire blanket stands as a reliable ally in this mission, offering simplicity, effectiveness, and peace of mind—all packed into a compact, easily accessible tool. Consider adding a ZEN fire blanket to your ZEN Smoke Alarms arsenal; it’s a small investment that can yield valuable protection when every second counts.
As winter settles in across Australia, the chill in the air sends us reaching for heaters, fireplaces, electric blankets, and other devices to keep warm. Even in Queensland, known for its humid climate, winter nights can get surprisingly cold, and some areas even see snowfall. While these heating methods provide much-needed comfort, they also come with an increased risk of household fires – are your photoelectric smoke alarms up to it?
Fire services nationwide report a significant spike in fire-related incidents during the colder months – in fact winter is the peak season for house fire call-outs. This heightened risk means it is vital that your home is not only equipped with interconnected photoelectric smoke alarms, but proper winter fire safety precautions are followed. This article is a 2 minute read and will guide you through essential fire safety tips to keep you and your family safe this winter.
Photoelectric Smoke Alarms in Winter
ZEN photoelectric smoke alarms – be winter ready!
Why Photoelectric Smoke Alarms Matter In Winter
Interconnected photoelectric smoke alarms are your first line of defence against house fires. When every second counts, working photoelectric smoke alarms can provide the early warning needed to escape safely. Winter is the peak season for house fires in Australia, and according to Queensland Fire and Emergency Services (QFES), having functional photoelectric smoke alarms can double your chances of surviving a house fire.
Where To Install Photoelectric Smoke Alarms
For optimal protection, install photoelectric smoke alarms inside every bedroom, in the hallways outside sleeping areas, and on every level of your home. These photoelectric smoke alarms should be interconnected, so if one alarm sounds, they all do. While ZEN Smoke Alarms can be mounted on both walls and ceilings, ceiling installation is preferred since smoke rises. If you must install them on a wall, position them high but at least 30 cm away from corners to avoid dead air spaces. Steer clear of placing them near open windows, doors, or air vents where drafts could disrupt their function.
Clean And Test Your Photoelectric Smoke Alarms
At The Start Of Winter
To ensure your photoelectric smoke alarms are ready when you need them most, give them a thorough clean at the start of winter. Dust, cobwebs, and other particles can accumulate over time, reducing their effectiveness. Gently vacuum the exterior of each alarm with a soft brush attachment.
Test your photoelectric smoke alarms monthly to ensure they are functioning correctly and interconnected. All alarms should activate their audible and visual indicators within 10 seconds of the first one being tested. With ZEN Smoke Alarms, you can press the center surface of any alarm or use the optional remote control to conduct this test. The test mode will automatically silence after about 10 seconds.
Winter Heating Equipment: Safety First
Space Heaters
One of the main culprits behind winter house fires is the misuse of heating equipment. When using space heaters, keep them at least one meter away from flammable materials like curtains, bedding, and furniture. Never place clothing on or near the heater, ensure it’s on a stable surface, and never leave it unattended, especially while you’re sleeping.
Fireplaces In Winter
Before lighting up your fireplace for the winter season, have it inspected and then cleaned regularly to prevent the buildup of creosote, a highly flammable byproduct of burning wood. Always use a fire screen to catch sparks and embers, and make sure the fire is completely extinguished before going to bed or leaving the house.
Electric Blankets
Check your electric blankets and heating pads for frayed cords or other damage before use. Never fold them or leave them on for extended periods. To test an electric blanket, lay it flat on the bed and switch it on for five minutes to ensure it’s working properly before using it.
Winter Wheat Bags
Wheat bags are great for soothing aches and pains, but they’re not designed to replace hot water bottles in the bed. Be careful not to overheat them in the microwave, as repeated use can reduce their moisture content, increasing the risk of overheating and fires. Always let them cool on a non-combustible surface, like a kitchen sink, and never reheat until they’re completely cooled. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions regarding their lifespan.
Safe Use of Electrical Appliances
Winter often means increased use of electrical appliances, which can overload circuits and cause fires. Avoid using multiple high-wattage devices on the same outlet and don’t use extension cords for long-term connections. Regularly check all cords for wear and tear and replace any that are damaged. Opt for power boards with built-in overload protection.
Kitchen Safety In Winter
Winter calls for hearty meals and more cooking, but ensure your kitchen remains a fire-free zone. Never leave cooking unattended and keep flammable items like tea towels away from the stove-top. It’s wise to have a ZEN fire blanket easily accessible in the kitchen, and know how to use it properly.
Practice The Home Fire Escape Plan At The Start Of Winter
Interconnected photoelectric smoke alarms are most effective when combined with a well-rehearsed home fire escape plan. Make sure everyone in your household knows the sound of the smoke alarm and understands what to do when it activates. Plan two ways out of every room and allocate a meeting place outside your home. Practice your fire escape plan twice a year, including at the start of winter, to ensure everyone is prepared.
Conclusion – Photoelectric Smoke Alarms In Winter
Winter is a wonderful time to enjoy the warmth and comfort of your home, but it’s also a time to be extra vigilant about fire safety. By installing and maintaining interconnected photoelectric smoke alarms, using heating equipment and electrical appliances sensibly, and having a solid fire escape plan, you can keep your loved ones safe. Stay warm, stay safe, and make sure your photoelectric smoke alarms are ready to protect you from winter’s hidden dangers!

Where Should You Install Your Smoke Alarms?
Proper placement is key when installing smoke alarms to ensure maximum safety. According to Queensland regulations, here’s where you should place them:
Inside Every Bedroom
All bedrooms must have a working photoelectric smoke alarm installed inside.
Hallways Leading to Bedrooms
If your home has a hallway outside the bedrooms, install a smoke alarm there.
No Hallway? Install on the Escape Route
If there is no common hallway, place a smoke alarm on the nearest exit route or travel path leading out of the home.
Multi-Level Homes? Install on Every Floor
If you have a two-story or multi-level property, you must install at least one smoke alarm on each level.
Avoid These Locations:
🚫 Within 30cm of a wall – smoke can get trapped in ‘dead air space’ and delay alarm activation. 🚫 Near light fixtures (30cm minimum) – heat and dust can interfere with detection. 🚫 Close to air conditioning vents (40cm minimum) – airflow can push smoke away. 🚫 Near ceiling fan blades (40cm minimum) – moving air may prevent smoke from reaching the sensor.
Pro Tip: When installing smoke alarms, ceiling installation is always recommended over wall mounting for best performance.
Replacing a 240V Hardwired Smoke Alarm?
Read This First!
If you’re replacing an existing 240V smoke alarm, Queensland law states that it must be replaced with another 240V hardwired smoke alarm. This means that if your current alarm is wired into your home’s electrical system, you must install a new hardwired model.
⚠️ Important: Hardwired smoke alarms require an electrician for installation. However, if you’re installing wireless 10-year battery-powered smoke alarms, you can do it yourself.
Avoid These Common Mistakes
When Installing Smoke Alarms
While installing smoke alarms is a simple task, some common mistakes can reduce their effectiveness. Here’s what NOT to do:
🚫 Don’t Use Adhesive or Magnetic Mounting Kits Although these may seem like an easy solution, they don’t last. Over time, the adhesive weakens, and your smoke alarm could fall from the ceiling—possibly breaking when it hits the floor.
Installing smoke alarms – do not use these adhesive mounts!
We used to sell adhesive and magnetic mounting kits years ago but stopped doing so because because feedback from our customers indicated these products were very unreliable. To keep your smoke alarms securely in place, always use the screws and anchors provided. It only takes a few extra minutes, but it’s worth it!
🚫 Don’t Install in the Wrong Locations As mentioned earlier, avoid installing smoke alarms too close to walls, vents, lights, and fans—these can prevent proper smoke detection.
🚫 Don’t Forget to Test Your Smoke Alarms Regularly A smoke alarm is only effective if it works! Press the test button once a month to ensure your alarms are functioning properly.

Smoke alarm regulations in Queensland can be confusing, especially with the staggered implementation of new laws. Many homeowners are unsure whether they need a 240V smoke alarm or if they can opt for a wireless, battery-powered alternative. This article clarifies when each type of smoke alarm is required and ensures you remain compliant with Queensland’s fire safety laws.
Understanding Queensland’s Smoke Alarm Laws
Queensland has some of the strictest smoke alarm regulations in Australia. The changes introduced under the Building Fire Safety (Domestic Smoke Alarms) Legislation Amendment Regulation 2016 are designed to improve home fire safety and reduce fatalities caused by house fires. As part of these changes, all homes sold or leased must comply with the new laws. By 2027 these laws will be extended to all homes in QLD, irrespective of the situation.
The legislation outlines where smoke alarms must be installed and how they should be powered. Homeowners and landlords must ensure compliance with these laws, or they could face penalties. We encourage you to view and read the legislation for yourself too – direct links to all official government sources are included at the bottom of this article for your reference.
Can I Install Wireless 10-year Battery Powered
Smoke Alarms In QLD?
Yes! It is perfectly legal to install wireless smoke alarms with a sealed 10-year lithium battery in Queensland, provided you are not engaging in any of the following three activities:
Constructing a new home
Performing a substantial renovation
Replacing an existing 240V smoke alarm
Queensland’s Building Fire Safety (Domestic Smoke Alarms) Legislation Amendment Regulation 2016, states that both 240V hardwired smoke alarms and wireless 10-year battery-powered smoke alarms are allowed – see the excerpt below;
The Queensland Fire Department website states that 10-year battery powered smoke alarms are acceptable, provided the three scenarios previously mentioned above are not being performed.
240V smoke alarms vs wireless smoke alarms – QLD Fire Department website
Advantages Of 10-Year Battery Powered Smoke Alarms
Wireless smoke alarms powered by a sealed 10-year lithium battery offer several benefits:
Easy DIY installation – No need for an electrician, saving time and money.
No battery replacements – The battery lasts for the entire 10-year lifespan of the alarm.

Affordable and accessible – Wireless smoke alarms are typically cheaper to install compared to hardwired alternatives.
QLD Fire Department talks DIY installing wireless 10-year battery powered smoke alarms
Where Should Wireless Smoke Alarms Be Installed?
Queensland legislation specifies that smoke alarms must be installed in:
Each bedroom
Hallways connecting bedrooms to the rest of the house
At least one on each level of a multi-storey home
For the best protection, alarms should be interconnected, so if one goes off, they all do. Wireless models make this process much simpler.
Do all Queensland Homes Need a 240V Smoke Alarm by 2027?
No, not all homes in Queensland require 240V smoke alarms by 2027. While some houses must have hardwired 240V smoke alarms, many homes can legally use wireless 10-year battery-powered smoke alarms and remain fully compliant.
The Queensland government phased in these changes to improve home safety, but they also provided flexibility in the types of alarms that can be used. Homeowners need to be aware of their specific situation and choose the right smoke alarm type accordingly.
When Is a 240V Smoke Alarm Legally Required in Queensland?
There are only three situations where Queensland law mandates the installation of a 240V hardwired smoke alarm:
1) Constructing a New Home
If you are building a new home in Queensland, you must install hardwired 240V smoke alarms as part of the building approval process. Queensland’s Building Regulation 2021 states that smoke alarms in new homes must be hardwired to the domestic electricity supply.
This ensures that new homes have a stable and reliable power source for their smoke alarms, providing long-term safety. Additionally, these alarms must be interconnected, either via wiring or radio frequency.
2) Performing a Substantial Renovation
Under Queensland’s Fire Services Act 1990, hardwired smoke alarms must be installed when conducting significant renovations to a domestic dwelling.
A substantial renovation typically refers to major structural work that requires building approval. If your renovation meets this threshold, your smoke alarm system must be upgraded to include hardwired 240V smoke alarms.
3) Replacing an Existing 240V Smoke Alarm
If your home already has a 240V smoke alarm and you are replacing it, the new smoke alarm must also be hardwired to the electricity supply, as required by the Fire Services Act 1990.
This ensures that homes with an existing 240V smoke alarm maintain their level of protection and comply with Queensland’s safety standards. You cannot replace a hardwired smoke alarm with a battery-powered one unless the property falls outside the mandatory wiring requirements.
Outside of the 3 scenarios described above, it is legal and perfectly acceptable in QLD to install wireless photoelectric interconnected smoke alarms which are
powered by a non-removeable 10-year battery.
Wireless vs 240V Smoke Alarms: Which One Should You Choose?
If you are building a new home, conducting major renovations, or replacing an existing hardwired unit, you must install a 240V smoke alarm. However, if none of these situations apply, wireless 10-year battery-powered smoke alarms are a legal and effective choice.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Smoke Alarm:
Compliance – Ensure the alarm you choose meets Australian Standard 3786:2014.
Ease of Installation – Wireless alarms are easy to install yourself, while 240V alarms require an electrician.
Power Supply – 240V alarms rely on mains electricity with a backup battery, while wireless alarms run entirely on a sealed 10-year lithium battery.
Interconnectivity – Both types can be interconnected, but wireless models provide a more flexible installation option.
Cost – 240V smoke alarms require professional installation, which increases the overall cost.
Conclusion – Wireless vs 240V Smoke Alarms
Unless you are constructing a new home, performing a substantial renovation, or replacing an existing 240V smoke alarm, you have the flexibility to install wireless, interconnected photoelectric smoke alarms powered by a 10-year sealed battery. These alarms meet Queensland’s compliance requirements while offering a cost-effective, hassle-free solution for homeowners.
By staying informed and choosing the right type of smoke alarm, you can protect your home and family while ensuring legal compliance.

Photoelectric Wireless Interconnected Smoke Alarms are one of the most vital safety features in any home. These life-saving devices detect smoke early, providing you and your family with the critical time needed to evacuate before a fire spreads uncontrollably. However, simply installing smoke alarms isn’t enough. Many homeowners neglect proper maintenance, reducing the effectiveness of their alarms in an emergency. A poorly maintained smoke alarm may fail to activate when it matters most, putting lives and property at serious risk.
Regular testing and cleaning of your wireless interconnected smoke alarms help ensure they remain in optimal working condition. Dust, dirt, and even small insects can accumulate inside the alarm, affecting the sensors and leading to false alarms or, worse, failure to detect real smoke. Proper maintenance not only guarantees the functionality of your smoke alarms but also extends their lifespan, ensuring they last their full 10-year battery life without issues.
How To Clean Your Wireless Interconnected Smoke Alarms
Wireless interconnected smoke alarms rely on highly sensitive photoelectric sensors to detect smoke particles in the air. Over time, these sensors can become obstructed by dust, pet hair, cobwebs, or other debris, reducing their effectiveness. If left unchecked, this build-up can cause delayed detection or even prevent the alarm from sounding in a fire.
Regular cleaning is essential to keep your photoelectric wireless interconnected smoke alarms functioning at their best. It’s a simple process that takes only a few minutes but could save your life.
Cleaning your ZEN wireless interconnected smoke alarms is quick and easy! Watch our short video below for step-by-step guidance.
Use a soft brush or vacuum attachment – Gently vacuum around the air intake grill and external perimeter of the alarm to remove dust and debris.
Check for cobwebs and insects – These can obstruct the sensors, so ensure they’re cleared away.
Never use liquids or aerosol sprays – Cleaning agents can damage the smoke alarm’s internal components and impact performance.
Schedule regular cleaning – We recommend cleaning all your wireless interconnected smoke alarms at least every six months to maintain optimal sensitivity.
A clean and well-maintained ZEN wireless interconnected smoke alarm ensures reliable operation when you need it most. Take a few minutes to clean your alarms today—because fire safety starts with prevention! 🚨
How To Test Your Wireless Interconnected Smoke Alarms
Regularly testing your wireless interconnected smoke alarms is crucial to ensuring they function properly when you need them most. Fire safety experts recommend testing your ZEN Smoke Alarms at least once a month to verify that all alarms are in working order. This simple routine check helps detect any potential issues before they become a risk to your home and family.
Before testing, it’s a good idea to notify everyone in the home, as the alarms will produce a loud beeping sound. If you have young children or pets, prepare them for the noise so they are not startled.
Testing your ZEN wireless interconnected smoke alarms is quick and easy:
Press the test button – Locate the centre surface of the alarm and firmly press it. This will initiate the test sequence.
Use the optional remote control – If you have the ZEN remote control, simply press the test button once. This provides a convenient way to test all your alarms simultaneously without having to reach each one manually.
Check for response – Within 10 seconds, all wireless interconnected smoke alarms should activate. You will hear a loud beeping sound, and the red LED indicator lights will flash on each alarm.
Automatic silencing – After approximately 10 seconds, all alarms will stop beeping automatically, indicating that the test is complete.
Watch our short instructional video below for a step-by-step guide!
When Should You Test
Wireless Interconnected Smoke Alarms?
Aside from monthly testing, it’s also essential to test your ZEN wireless interconnected smoke alarms in the following situations:
After home renovations – Painting, sanding, and installing new carpets can create fine dust that may enter the alarm’s sensors. Always test your alarms after any home improvements to ensure they are functioning correctly.
Before moving into a new home – If you’re renting or buying a property, test the smoke alarms as soon as you move in to confirm they are in working order.
After replacing a smoke alarm – If you install a new wireless interconnected smoke alarm, test it immediately to ensure it successfully connects with the other alarms in your home.
Important Pro Tip: Never Paint Over Your Smoke Alarm!
When repainting your ceilings, avoid painting over your smoke alarms. Paint can block the sensors, reducing their ability to detect smoke and causing malfunctions. If needed, use painter’s tape to protect your smoke alarm while painting around it.
By following these simple testing and maintenance steps, you can ensure your ZEN wireless interconnected smoke alarms are always ready to protect your home and loved ones. 🚨
Why Testing Your Interconnected Smoke Alarm Is Important
Testing your wireless interconnected smoke alarms regularly is essential for ensuring they function correctly when you need them most. A smoke alarm that fails to detect smoke won’t provide the life-saving warning needed to escape a fire. In a worst-case scenario, this could lead to devastating consequences, including injury, loss of life, or property destruction.
Why Regular Testing and Maintenance Matters
Smoke alarms are especially critical at night when you’re asleep. Many house fires occur while residents are unaware, and without a properly functioning alarm, there’s a significant risk of delayed evacuation. Wireless interconnected smoke alarms provide an added layer of safety by ensuring that if one alarm detects smoke, all alarms in the home will sound simultaneously—giving you and your family the best chance of escape.
Cleaning your smoke alarms is just as important as testing them. Over time, dust, insects, and debris can accumulate, affecting their sensitivity. Regular maintenance of your photoelectric wireless interconnected smoke alarms ensures they remain fully operational and last their full 10-year lifespan without issues.
At ZEN Smoke Alarms, we make cleaning and testing easy! Our ZEN wireless interconnected smoke alarms are designed for hassle-free maintenance, ensuring your home remains protected 24/7. Stay safe, sleep soundly, and trust ZEN for your fire safety needs. Be sure to take good care of your wireless interconnected smoke alarms – and they will take good care of you!
When it comes to smoke alarms QLD residents can trust, ZEN Smoke Alarms stand out as the best choice. With strict Queensland smoke alarm laws requiring interconnected photoelectric smoke alarms in all homes by 2027, homeowners need a reliable solution that meets legal requirements and provides maximum safety.
At ZEN, we’ve made it easy for Queenslanders to protect their homes and loved ones with high-quality, fully compliant, and easy-to-install smoke alarms. But what makes ZEN the best smoke alarms QLD has to offer? Let’s take a closer look.
ZEN Smoke Alarms Are Photoelectric for Maximum Safety
1) All ZEN Smoke Alarms use photoelectric detection technology, not outdated ionisation sensors. Why does this matter?
Older ionisation smoke alarms use a small amount of radioactive material to detect smoke and are more prone to false alarms. They are less effective at detecting slow, smouldering fires, which are the most common type of house fire in Australia. Due to these drawbacks, ionisation smoke alarms are being phased out in Australia and worldwide.
In contrast, photoelectric smoke alarms like ZEN provide superior early detection of smouldering fires and reduce the likelihood of false alarms from cooking or steam. This means increased reliability and a better chance of escaping safely in an emergency which is just another reason why ZEN are the best smoke alarms QLD has to offer!
ZEN Smoke Alarms Are Interconnected Smoke Alarms
2) Traditional smoke alarms operate independently, which means only the closest alarm will activate when smoke is detected. If a fire starts in one part of your home, residents in other rooms or on different floors may not hear the alarm until it’s too late.
ZEN Smoke Alarms are wirelessly interconnected, so when one alarm detects smoke, all alarms in the network sound simultaneously. This ensures that everyone in the house is alerted immediately, no matter where they are. For legal compliance, the smoke alarms QLD residents need to install are the interconnected type.
Even better, ZEN interconnected smoke alarms arrive pre-connected in our bundle packs, saving you the hassle of pairing them yourself. This feature is essential for complying with Queensland’s 2027 smoke alarm laws, which require all alarms to be interconnected.
ZEN Smoke Alarms Have A 10-year Battery
3) Battery life is a key factor when choosing smoke alarms in QLD. Many traditional smoke alarms QLD residents use have replaceable 9V batteries, which need frequent changing. When the battery gets low, these alarms emit an annoying ‘chirping’ sound until the battery is replaced. Unfortunately, many people remove the battery to silence the chirp and forget to replace it, leaving their home unprotected.
ZEN Smoke Alarms feature a built-in, sealed 10-year lithium battery. This means:
No battery replacements for the entire lifespan of the alarm.
No risk of tampering or accidental removal.
No annoying low-battery chirping for a decade!
Because our interconnected smoke detectors are powered by a long life 10-year lithium battery which is sealed inside the unit, the battery cannot be deliberately removed. At the end of the 10-year battery life span, the entire smoke alarm unit is simply replaced with a new one! Another reason why ZEN are the preferred smoke alarms QLD residents choose.
ZEN Smoke Alarms Can Be Simply DIY Installed
4) Many Queensland homeowners worry about the cost and hassle of installing smoke alarms. With ZEN wireless smoke alarms, installation is simple and 100% DIY-friendly.
Each alarm comes with a mounting bracket and screws, allowing you to install it in minutes. Since they are wirelessly interconnected, there’s no need for complex wiring or hiring an electrician, saving you time and money. ZEN are smoke alarms QLD residents can easily and legally self-install.
Every ZEN Smoke Alarm also comes with a compliance certificate, proving it meets Australian Standard AS 3786:2014 – ensuring your home is legally protected.
ZEN Smoke Alarms – Free Shipping And Same Day Dispatch
5) We know Queenslanders want their smoke alarms quickly, especially with the changing smoke alarms QLD laws approaching. That’s why ZEN Smoke Alarms offers free shipping on all orders over $100 and same-day dispatch for orders placed before 1:30 pm on business days.
Unlike offshore drop shippers or small resellers operating out of a garage, ZEN Smoke Alarms are stored in major warehouses in Brisbane, ensuring fast delivery across Queensland and Australia.
ZEN Smoke Alarms Are Remote Control Compatible
6) All ZEN interconnected smoke alarm bundle packs come with a bonus remote control for added convenience. The remote allows you to:
Test your alarms without climbing on a chair to press the button.
Silence false alarms (like burnt toast) with a single click, instead of waving a towel under the alarm.
Identify the source alarm in an interconnected network, making it easy to pinpoint the smoke location.
We think the best feature of the ZEN remote control though, is the silence button. No more worrying about disturbing the neighbours – the silence button eliminates rushing around in a mad panic when you burn the toast in the kitchen – just another reason why ZEN are the best smoke alarms QLD has to offer!
ZEN Fire Blanket!
7) For added fire safety, consider purchasing a ZEN fire blanket to complement your ZEN Smoke Alarms.
Measuring 1m x 1m, this fire blanket is perfect for:
Kitchen fires (like oil or stovetop fires).
BBQ areas.
Garages, caravans, boats, or cars.
A fire blanket provides a quick and easy way to smother small fires, preventing them from spreading. It’s an essential fire safety tool that complements your ZEN Smoke Alarm system perfectly – just another reason why ZEN are the best smoke alarms QLD has to offer!

As the Queensland festive season approaches, warmer temperatures, holiday decorations, and the joy of gatherings fill the air. However, amidst the celebrations, we must also consider Christmas fire safety to safeguard our homes and loved ones. Installing a photoelectric fire alarm is one key step to protect your family. A photoelectric fire alarm provides early detection of smouldering fires, which are common during the holidays. Be sure to check your photoelectric fire alarms and ensure they are in good working condition. Here are some essential tips to ensure a safe and Merry Christmas in Queensland this year!
Careful Christmas Tree Positioning
Choose a fresh, green Christmas tree and keep it well-hydrated. Position it away from any potential heat sources. A dry Christmas tree can quickly become a fire hazard, so water it regularly and dispose of it promptly after the holidays.
Position your tree strategically – make sure it’s not blocking any exit routes. This ensures that, in the unfortunate event of a fire, everyone can easily evacuate the home.

Give the gift of safety and equip your home with a ZEN photoelectric fire alarm inside every bedroom, hallway outside the bedrooms, and have at least one on every level of the dwelling. Press the test button on each photoelectric fire alarm to check they are in good working order (i.e. so if one interconnected photoelectric fire alarm activates, then they all activate). Create a home fire escape plan and share it with your family and any guests who may be staying with you. Keep fire extinguishers handy, and make sure everyone knows their location and how to use them. Spending 10 minutes to review this information with your loved ones could avoid becoming a Christmas tragedy.

Check Christmas Lighting And Decorations
Inspect all Christmas lights before decorating your tree and home. Discard any frayed or damaged cords and replace burnt-out bulbs promptly. Choose LED lights, which emit less heat than traditional incandescent lights, reducing the risk of fire. Be wary of non-compliant cheap imports and ensure your lights have the appropriate Australian electrical safety regulatory compliance mark (RCM). Make it a habit to turn off all Christmas lights and decorations before going to bed or leaving the house. This simple step not only conserves energy but also reduces the risk of electrical malfunctions that could lead to a fire.
Ensure Christmas lighting decorations have the Australian regulatory compliance mark (RCM)
Power Board Common Sense
Avoid overloading electrical wall outlets and power boards. Spread out the use of multiple appliances and decorations across different outlets to prevent overloading and subsequent overheating. Choose a power board which has in-built overload protection.
Candle Care
Candles add a traditional warm glow to the festive atmosphere, but they can also pose a fire risk. Keep candles away from flammable materials such as window curtains, place them in stable holders, and never leave them unattended. Consider using realistic looking flameless LED candles as a safer modern alternative.
Cooking Attentiveness
The holiday season often involves elaborate meals and festive cooking. Stay vigilant in the kitchen, and never leave cooking unattended. Keep flammable items, such as kitchen tea towels and oven mitts, away from open flames and other heat sources. Keep a ZENfire blanket nearby to help extinguish any cooking flames.
Christmas Conclusion!
By following these Christmas fire safety tips and ensuring you have ZEN interconnected smoke alarms installed in your home, you can create a secure environment for your loved ones to enjoy the Queensland holiday season without worry. Putting fire safety at the top of your Christmas list will ensure the only thing sparking during your celebrations is the joy of the season.
Merry Christmas Queensland! Thank you again for all your fantastic support throughout the year, and we look forward to more incredibly busy and exciting times in the next year ahead!
f you’re selling a property in Queensland, you might be wondering whether you need to supply a smoke alarm compliance certificate QLD to finalize the sale. The short answer? No—there is no legal requirement to provide a smoke alarm compliance certificate QLD for wireless 10-year battery-powered smoke alarms. However, certain requirements must still be met to ensure compliance with Queensland’s smoke alarm laws.
Smoke Alarm Compliance Certificate QLD and
Wireless 10-Year Battery-Powered Smoke Alarms
If your property is equipped with wireless, 10-year battery-powered smoke alarms, you do NOT need to provide a smoke alarm compliance certificate QLD when selling.
According to the Real Estate Institute of Queensland (REIQ), the seller is not obligated to supply a compliance certificate for these types of alarms. Their fact sheet confirms that there is no requirement for a compliance certificate to be issued by an electrician or any other authority when selling a property with wireless 10-year battery powered smoke alarms – see below.
Smoke alarm compliance certificate QLD and the REIQ fact sheet
However, just because a smoke alarm compliance certificate QLD is not required doesn’t mean you can ignore smoke alarm laws. As the seller, you must meet your obligations and ensure that your property has compliant, interconnected photoelectric smoke alarms installed in all legally required locations.
Once this is done, you must then disclose in writing to the buyer that the property complies with the smoke alarm legislation. This disclosure is completed through two documents:
Form 24 – QLD Transfer of Title Form
Contract of Sale
By completing these documents, the seller confirms that the property meets Queensland’s smoke alarm regulations, ensuring a smooth transaction for both parties.
The ‘Form 24’ (QLD Transfer of Title Form) – Section 5 (g)
The Contract Of Sale
Smoke Alarm Compliance Certificate QLD
and 240V Hardwired Smoke Alarms
While wireless 10-year battery-powered smoke alarms do not require a compliance certificate, hardwired 240V interconnected smoke alarms do.
The Queensland Fire Department state on their website that when selling a property with 240V hardwired smoke alarms, a Certificate of Testing and Compliance is required (see below). This certificate is issued by a licensed electrician and serves as proof that the hardwired smoke alarms are electrically safe.

If your property has 240V hardwired smoke alarms, you must arrange for a licensed electrician to conduct an inspection and provide this certificate before settlement.
Why Smoke Alarm Compliance is Important in QLD
Ensuring that your property meets Queensland’s smoke alarm laws is crucial, not just for legal compliance but for the safety of future occupants. Smoke alarms play a vital role in detecting fires early, reducing fatalities, and protecting lives and property.
Smoke Alarm Requirements for Queensland Homes
From 1 January 2022, all properties sold or leased in Queensland must have interconnected photoelectric smoke alarms that comply with the Australian Standard 3786:2014. The key requirements include:
Alarms must be interconnected (when one alarm sounds, they all do)
Must be installed inside every bedroom
Must be installed in hallways connecting bedrooms to the rest of the house
If there are no bedrooms, at least one alarm must be installed in the most likely path of travel to exit the property
Hardwired 240V smoke alarms must be installed by a licensed electrician
Wireless 10-year battery-powered smoke alarms are an approved alternative
These regulations aim to enhance fire safety in homes across Queensland and ensure compliance before a property changes ownership.
How to Ensure Your Property is Compliant
If you are planning to sell your home in Queensland, follow these steps to ensure compliance:
Check your smoke alarms – Ensure they are photoelectric and comply with AS 3786:2014.
Verify their location – Install alarms in all required positions (bedrooms, hallways, and exit routes).
Ensure interconnection – When one alarm sounds, they should all activate simultaneously.
Confirm the power source – If using 240V hardwired alarms, book a licensed electrician for an inspection and obtain the Certificate of Testing and Compliance.
Complete the disclosure forms – Fill out Form 24 and the Contract of Sale to confirm smoke alarm compliance to the buyer.
Common Misconceptions About The
Smoke Alarm Compliance Certificate QLD
Many homeowners and real estate agents mistakenly believe that a smoke alarm compliance certificate QLD is mandatory for ALL properties. However, the truth is:
No certificate is required for wireless 10-year battery-powered smoke alarms.
A smoke alarm compliance certificate QLD is required only for hardwired 240V smoke alarms.
Sellers must disclose in writing that compliant alarms have been installed, but they do not need to provide an official compliance certificate for battery-powered alarms.

There is no point waiting until a fire occurs before figuring out what to do and where to go—especially when the safety of your family is at stake. In an emergency, every second counts, and hesitation can be deadly. Having interconnected smoke detectors ensures that when one alarm detects smoke, all alarms in the home will sound, providing an early warning.
Coupled with a well-developed and regularly rehearsed home fire escape plan, this can give your loved ones the crucial time needed to escape safely. This practical blog post walks you through the benefits of interconnected smoke detectors and also the key steps of creating an effective fire escape plan, demonstrating that it’s a simple yet life-saving task that every household should prioritize.
Interconnected smoke detectors – do you have a home fire escape plan?
Develop A Floor Plan And Identify The Emergency Exit Paths
The main purpose of a home fire escape plan is to provide the occupants of a dwelling sufficient knowledge and skill to escape a burning building. This is achieved by a) documenting the required information b) communicating the information and then c) practicing the home fire escape plan.
The first step in developing a home fire escape plan is to draw a basic floor plan or map of your house, including key locations such as bedrooms, living areas, hallways, and all possible exits. Clearly mark doors, windows, and any alternative escape routes. This visual guide helps everyone understand the layout and potential escape paths.
Once the floor plan is drawn, gather all household members and review it together. Identify both a primary and secondary exit for each person, ensuring there are always two escape routes in case one is blocked by fire or smoke. Some things to consider—are there obstacles like large furniture, staircases, or security screens that could slow down an escape? If so, plan how to navigate them quickly and safely.
Think about ‘landmarks’ along the way that could assist in low-visibility conditions, such as walls, handrails, or textured flooring, to help guide movement in thick smoke. Consider any family members who may require extra assistance, such as young children, elderly residents, or individuals with limited mobility. If needed, assign a ‘buddy’ to assist them during an evacuation.
Finally, choose and agree on a safe muster point outside the home, such as a letterbox, a large tree, or a neighbour’s driveway. This ensures everyone gathers in a designated safe area after escaping, allowing for a quick headcount to confirm all occupants have evacuated successfully.

Practice The Home Fire Escape Plan
It’s one thing to talk about it, but it’s another to actually do it. Rehearsing your home fire escape plan is critical to ensuring every household member knows exactly what to do in an emergency. Physically practice escaping twice a year with EVERY member of the household, including children and elderly residents. Consider running drills at different times of the day, including nighttime, to simulate real-life conditions.
During the rehearsal, a mobile phone timer can create a sense of urgency, helping family members understand how quickly they need to react. To simulate the reduced visibility caused by thick smoke, place a blindfold on the occupant and have them attempt to navigate the exit path in a controlled manner. This builds familiarity with the layout of the home and ensures that everyone can exit safely, even under stressful conditions.
Once outside, all members should gather at the fire escape plan’s designated muster point, ensuring no one is left behind. Conduct an after-action review to identify any obstacles, confusion, or areas for improvement. Document the time taken to escape and use it as a benchmark for future rehearsals, aiming to improve reaction time and efficiency.
Interconnected Smoke Detectors
And The Home Fire Escape Plan
ZEN interconnected smoke detectorsprovide greater early warning and response time to a fire – they should be installed within your home and form part of the overall home fire escape plan. Ensure interconnected smoke detectors are installed in every bedroom, communal hallway outside the bedrooms and if in a multi-story dwelling then at least one on every floor.
During the rehearsal of the home fire escape plan, test the photoelectric interconnected smoke detectors so all actually activate, and everyone becomes acquainted with their sound and meaning. Doing so may help lessen the sense of surprise or shock in a real-life fire event, and it is especially important for children who may not associate the interconnected smoke detectors sound with danger.
Fire Safety Essentials
Rehearsing your home fire escape plan is a great opportunity to impart some basic fire safety essentials. You may wish to document the following information in your home fire escape plan and ensure it is understood by all;
Immediately phone triple zero 000 for Australian emergency services, including the fire department.
Stay low to the ground to minimize inhaling toxic smoke and fumes which generally rise.
Prior to opening a door, test it using the back of the hand to ascertain if there is heat on the other side.
Close doors (but don’t lock) as you pass through them to limit air supply and possible expansion of the fire.
Once outside at the designated muster point perform a head count. Do not head back inside the burning building for any reason.
Interconnected Smoke Detectors
And The Home Fire Escape Plan – Summary
A home fire escape plan should be unique to each residence, and the occupants should be familiar with it. Review the home fire escape plan bi-annually and practice escaping from the building so that theoretical knowledge becomes reality. Ensure ZEN interconnected smoke detectors are installed and test the interconnected smoke detectors during the practice-run. Basic fire safety essentials should also be added to the home fire escape plan and practiced – doing so will increase the opportunity for your loved ones to escape a burning home in a real-life emergency situation.
The rising costs of essentials like housing, food, and soaring utility bills have forced many individuals and families in Queensland (QLD) to make difficult financial choices. Unfortunately, these financial pressures often lead to compromises on crucial safety measures, such as installing and maintaining interconnected smoke detectors—a vital defence against devastating house fires.
Cost Of Living vs Household Fire Safety
One of the primary casualties of increased living expenses is the ability to invest in quality home maintenance and fire safety equipment. As household budgets tighten, many people opt for cheaper alternatives or delay essential repairs, inadvertently increasing the risk of fire hazards. Overloaded electrical circuits, aging appliances, and neglected wiring become ticking time bombs in homes where financial constraints take precedence over safety concerns.
These issues are particularly alarming given that house fires can escalate rapidly. Without properly functioning interconnected smoke detectors, residents may not receive adequate warning, reducing their chances of a safe escape. Investing in quality fire safety measures today could mean the difference between life and death in an emergency.
Interconnected Smoke Detectors And The Cost Of Living
The pressure to cut corners extends beyond household repairs—it also affects the choices people make when purchasing fire safety equipment. Some may opt for outdated, poor-quality interconnected smoke detectors that may malfunction or fail to provide adequate warning in the event of a fire. Studies have shown a direct correlation between subpar fire safety equipment and increased property damage and casualties during house fires.
Why Quality Interconnected Smoke Detectors Matter
Unlike conventional standalone smoke alarms, interconnected smoke detectors communicate with each other wirelessly. When one alarm detects smoke, all alarms in the network activate, providing a quicker and more comprehensive warning system. This feature is especially crucial in larger homes where fires can start in areas that may not be immediately noticeable.
Unfortunately, not all interconnected smoke detectors on the market meet Australian safety standards. Some cheaper models, often found on online marketplaces, may claim compliance but lack the rigorous testing and certification required under Australian Standard 3786:2014. Homeowners should always check for proper certifications before purchasing a smoke alarm to ensure their safety and legal compliance.

Expert Insights on Cost of Living and Fire Safety
A recent article published in The Courier Mail featured University of Wollongong fire expert Dr. Owen Price, who highlighted the impact of rising living costs on home fire risk.
“A lot of people realise they are at risk, but they often don’t do anything about it, and when cost of living comes in, it’s often lowest on people’s priorities,” Dr. Price stated.
He also pointed out that financially strained families are more likely to live in older, cheaper housing, which is often more vulnerable to fires due to aging electrical systems and outdated construction materials.
These insights emphasize the importance of prioritizing fire safety, even when budgets are tight. Investing in reliable interconnected smoke detectors is a cost-effective way to protect your home and loved ones, reducing the risk of loss due to fire.
The Mental Toll of Financial Strain
and Its Impact on Fire Safety
Financial stress doesn’t just affect a family’s ability to invest in fire safety—it also impacts mental well-being. Anxiety and fatigue, common among those facing financial difficulties, can contribute to forgetfulness, neglect, and a diminished ability to respond promptly in emergencies.
This mental burden may lead to lapses in routine fire safety practices, such as forgetting to test interconnected smoke detectors, delaying battery replacements, or ignoring early warning signs of electrical faults. By proactively investing in long-lasting, maintenance-free smoke alarms, homeowners can reduce the likelihood of fire risks caused by human error or oversight.
Cost Of Living Crisis And Fire Safety – Summary
The financial choices people make during times of economic hardship can inadvertently compromise their safety. House fires escalate quickly, and inadequate fire protection measures only worsen the situation. Investing in high-quality interconnected smoke detectors is one of the most effective ways to safeguard your home, even amidst financial challenges.
At ZEN Smoke Alarms, we believe that safety should never be compromised due to cost. Our fully compliant, long-lasting smoke alarms provide affordable, high-quality fire protection without the hidden expenses of frequent battery replacements or professional installation.
