Smoke alarms are designed to detect smoke and provide early warning in the event of a fire. To do this effectively, they must be correctly installed, powered, and regularly tested.
Most smoke alarms rely on batteries that can fail without warning. Without routine testing and maintenance, alarms may not activate when needed.
The 99 People provides professional smoke alarm testing and maintenance services to help keep homes and rental properties compliant and protected.
Includes aircons or pest treatments.
No gimmicks, No timeshare.
Smoke alarm testing isn’t just a legal requirement — it’s a critical safety measure.
Regular testing helps ensure alarms activate quickly, giving occupants more time to respond in an emergency.
Battery-powered alarms can fail unexpectedly. Routine testing identifies low or faulty batteries before they become a risk.
Testing supports compliance with Queensland smoke alarm regulations, particularly for rental and leased properties.
Knowing your alarms are working properly provides reassurance that your home or property is protected.
Pricing
Every property has different requirements depending on alarm type, layout, and usage. Our smoke alarm testing packages are designed to suit most households, with customised solutions available if needed.
If pressing the test button produces no sound or a weak response, the alarm may be faulty or have a depleted battery.
Regular chirping or flashing lights often indicate battery or sensor issues.
Smoke alarms degrade over time and must be replaced once they reach the end of their service life.
Landlords are required to ensure alarms are tested and compliant before new leases begin.
If you’re unsure whether your alarms meet current Queensland regulations, professional testing provides clarity.
Smoke alarms should be professionally tested at least once every 12 months. Batteries should be replaced annually or whenever a low-battery warning occurs.
Queensland smoke alarm legislation requires all residential properties to meet specific safety and installation standards.
If you are selling a property in Queensland, smoke alarms must comply with current legislation at the time of sale. Non-compliance may result in penalties at settlement.
If you are a landlord, compliance is required at each lease renewal or before a new tenancy begins.
Current requirements include:
Interconnected photoelectric smoke alarms installed in all bedrooms and hallways connecting bedrooms
Replacement of smoke alarms older than 10 years
Immediate replacement of faulty or non-working alarms
All smoke alarms installed after 1 January 2017 must comply with Australian Standard AS 3786-2014
Professional smoke alarm testing helps confirm whether your property meets these requirements.
Landlords are legally required to test and clean smoke alarms at least once every 12 months and at each change of tenancy. Any alarm that does not operate correctly when tested must be replaced immediately.
The 99 People provides smoke alarm testing services for rental properties, including a compliance report that documents testing outcomes and supports your legal obligations.
This service helps reduce risk, avoid last-minute compliance issues, and ensure safety requirements are met without hassle.
Discounts are available when smoke alarm testing is booked alongside other services, such as air conditioner cleaning or pest control.

Phenomenal service! Swift, thorough, and completely hassle-free.Will was professional, friendly, and worked with total independence. Highly recommend!
Excellent job Dom gave me some information about how I get the best out of my aircon
Will came and cleaned the internal part of the aircon today with the Ultimate Cleaning Package (for a deep clean) as it was very mouldy. He was friendly and professional. He even mentioned that he would use Clove Oil, which was helpful communication. That allowed me to decline, as my partner is sensitive to clove oil and it would have been a nightmare if that was put on. The rest of the chemicals are effective and impressive. Thanks Will :) what a great guy. Excellent service, excellent communication, and reasonable price! He had all the right equipment to professionally clean it quickly and efficiently.
