Smoke Alarm Chirping: What It Means and How to Fix It Fast
Uh oh! Your smoke alarm started chirping randomly, and it won’t stop. If the cause clearly isn’t a fire, you might need to do a little troubleshooting to narrow down whether the issue is a low battery, incorrectly installed battery, or smoke alarm failure. For best results, change the battery at least once every six months and the unit itself every 7-10 years.
