1. Overloaded circuits – too many appliances running on a single circuit
   
   
2. Aging or damaged wiring – especially in older Queensland homes and sheds
   
   
3. Poor DIY or unlicensed work – improper installations that don’t meet safety codes

Yes you do. In Queensland, it is a legal requirement to have photoelectric, interconnected smoke alarms installed before selling a home. These alarms must be placed in every bedroom, hallway, and on each level of the property. This legislation is governed by the Fire and Emergency Services Act 1990 and the Building Fire Safety Regulation 2008. Non-compliance can result in penalties, so it’s crucial to ensure your property meets these standards before listing it for sale. For professional installation and compliance, Quik Electrical can help ensure your property is up to code.
