January News: Welcome to 2026! Time to Beat the Heat and Keep your Home Safe
Welcome to 2026! We hope your year has started off safe, happy and energised. At REPARE, we’re ready to help your home or business running smoothly, efficiently and safely this year.
Smoke Alarm Compliance
January is the perfect time to check in on your home’s safety – and that includes your smoke alarms.
Did you know that by 1st January 2027, new laws in Queensland will require all homes to have compliant photoelectric smoke alarms in every bedroom, hallway, and level of your home?
Here’s What You Need To Know:
Smoke alarms must be working, tested and replaced if over 10 years old.
All alarms must be photoelectric and interconnected. Hardwired or long life battery options are required depending on your home setup.
Compliant smoke alarms save lives – early detection gives you and your family crucial extra minutes in an emergency.
