Smoke Alarm Solutions

What Smoke Alarm Solutions does

Smoke Alarm Solutions (SAS) is an Australian residential fire-safety compliance company founded in 2007 and headquartered in Brisbane, operating across Queensland, South Australia, Victoria and New South Wales. The company inspects, installs and maintains interconnected photoelectric smoke alarm systems to keep residential rental and owner-occupied properties compliant with state-specific smoke alarm legislation, including QLD 2022 rental laws and the QLD January 2027 owner-occupier deadline. Service delivery is performed by employed and contracted technicians through direct field deployment, supported by an Agency Portal for property managers and a self-service online booking/quote system for landlords, home sellers and owner occupiers. The company also offers bundled compliance services in Victoria (Home Safe Solutions combining smoke alarm, electrical and gas safety inspections) and ancillary add-ons such as blind cord compliance, safety switch testing and water meter readings.

The core technology is a regulated field-services operation rather than a software platform: physical inspection and installation work, compliance certification documentation, and PropertyMe integration for data exchange with real estate software. Master Electricians membership and disclosed electrical contractor licences (QLD 1508814, VIC 37560, SA PGE 352683) underpin qualified electrical work. Revenue is generated through three primary streams: (1) annual recurring subscriptions at $129/year (Ultimate tier, with Platinum and Gold tiers also offered) covering scheduled inspections, maintenance and 24/7 emergency support; (2) one-time installation fees of $99-$124 per interconnected photoelectric alarm plus installation service fees; (3) once-off inspections at $100 per property. Multi-year contracts and dedicated e-commerce funnels for the QLD 2027 upgrade represent the newer pricing mechanics. Operating under the parent Connected Property Services and trading as SAS through two Queensland-registered entities (Smoke Alarm Solutions Pty Ltd and SAS Operations Pty Ltd), the company has serviced more than 2 million properties and maintains a 4.6/5 Google rating across 3,246 reviews. Customer segments are diversified across enterprise (major real estate franchise partnerships), mid-market property managers, and SMB/long-tail landlords, home sellers and owner occupiers.
