Heritage homes need a different approach

A century-old Queenslander burns very differently to a brick veneer home: dry hardwood frames and VJ walls give occupants less time to get out, so early detection matters here. Heritage homes also make installation harder: ornate plaster and tongue-and-groove ceilings you don't want to chase cables through, tight roof access, and wiring that predates safety switches. The good news: current legislation doesn't force hardwiring. Sealed 10-year lithium battery photoelectric alarms are fully AS 3786:2014 compliant, interconnect wirelessly, and install with zero damage to heritage ceilings, our standard recommendation for Maryborough's older homes.

What we do in Maryborough

For Maryborough landlords and property managers

Maryborough's rental stock skews older than the coastal towns', with more alarms nearing their 10-year replacement date and more pre-2022 installations that won't pass the next tenancy change. We track manufacture dates across your portfolio, test within the legally required 30 days before each tenancy, and keep it to one invoice per property.
