Protect Your Property & Stay Compliant with Professional Smoke Alarm Solutions
Smoke alarms are one of the most essential fire safety devices, providing early warning in the event of a fire and saving lives. In Queensland, strict smoke alarm laws require properties to have photoelectric, interconnected smoke alarms to improve fire detection and evacuation time.
At Protec Safety, we provide end-to-end smoke alarm services, including installation, annual compliance servicing, inspections, maintenance, and certification. Whether you’re a homeowner, landlord, property manager, or business owner, we ensure your property meets all legal requirements and safety standards.
Our licensed technicians service Brisbane, Gold Coast, Ipswich, and surrounding suburbs, keeping homes and businesses protected, compliant, and ready for any emergency.
I can’t recommend Chad from Protec highly enough! Not only does he look after all my fire extinguishers with precision and professionalism, but he also went above and beyond when servicing my poorly performing air conditioning unit.
It was completely frozen up when he opened it, but Chad’s patience and expertise really shone through as he carefully defrosted it and gave it the most thorough cleaning imaginable. The unit looks brand new and runs like a dream now! His attention to detail and dedication to getting the job done right are truly impressive. Thank you, Chad, for your outstanding service!
