Smoke Alarms In Toowoomba
Supply & Installation
Smoke alarms are one of the most effective ways of alerting you to fire in your home or business. At Frontier Electrical Qld we supply, install and replace Spettro electrical smoke alarms.
These alarms emit a high-frequency sound that that has the ability to wake even the heaviest sleeper, when installed correctly, a smoke alarm will help to keep you and your loved ones protected. Spettro smoke alarms detect smoke 15-50 minutes faster than the old models, making them the safer option for you, your loved ones and your employees.
Most people believe that they'll smell the smoke and wake up if a fire occurs in their home or building. Unfortunately, that's not likely considering your sense of smell doesn’t work when you’re asleep in the same way it does while you’re awake, putting you at risk if a fire occurs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Should I have a hard wired or battery-operated smoke alarm?
Hard wired smoke alarms are known for their accuracy and even though they are more difficult to install, each alarm can be easily interconnected with all smoke alarms in the building so that if one is triggered, they all sound an alarm.
What are the smoke alarm laws in Qld?
All Qld dwellings are required to have interconnected photoelectric smoke alarms, you can find out more about the legislation by following this link:

What’s the difference between ionization and electrical smoke alarms?
Ionisation smoke alarms react more quickly to smoke that is produced by the flames of a clean fire and these alarms are also more prone to false alarms than photoelectric alarms. Photoelectric smoke alarms react more quickly to the smoke produced by smouldering fires.
