Thank you from all the 70 year old ladies, who can't climb chairs or ladders anymore , to fix those darn ear piercing smoke detectors, that decide to need a new battery at 2:30 in the morning!!

One of the best videos I've seen on this topic... still didn't fix my issue, but it was helpful nonetheless. I put in new 9-volts for each hardwired detector, reset each detector, blew out whatever debris might have been in there mucking things up etc. This is how my life typically goes... ha ha ha. I guess I'm in the 5% group. As always. Ha ha.

Who ever designed these things needs to have beeping equipment randomly hidden in their house, four or five times a day, without end until they die. And I hope the last sound they hear before roasting in hell is the chirp of a smoke detector.

@@ApartmentMaintenancePro Right now, I have something in my ceiling chirping. I've removed the detector, unplugging it and placing it in a different room, and still something is chirping in the ceiling. Perhaps the installation itself has a chirp? I don't care how safety oriented a designer might be, there's no excuse for a user experience where it's not immediately obvious what's wrong, and how to fix it. That's not what we have here, and for that, there's going to be some hellfire and damnation in store for whomever was responsible. Maybe just a few thousand years, nothing too dramatic.

@@ApartmentMaintenancePro So, we had disconnected the constantly chirping detector, but still, there was chirping in the house. We couldn't figure it out. And throughout the day, other alarms in the house would start chirping, even though we replaced both the unit and used fresh batteries in all locations. Turns out, we had an old detector in a bin in a closet that was meant to be plugged in a wall socket, and it still had a battery in it. The battery was so old that it occasionally woke the unit, and it started chirping. These units are designed to listen to each other, and will mimic the behavior of its audible neighbors. Press the test button on one to trigger the alarm klaxon, the others in earshot will also start their sirens. I get the idea of ensuring wholistic operation through quorum, but this makes it very difficult to troubleshoot. In our case, it was a bad apple sitting in the bottom of a huge rubber bin, at the back of a storage closet that was driving us nuts for two weeks.

Can you help please? I don't know if I need to switch off a switch on the fusebox. I don't have a switch labelled smoke detector on there. I have ones labelled: lighting, lighting, sockets, sockets, shower, cooker. On the left of those is 2joined together red switches/switch saying main switch. It's a very cheap, 15 year old, basic smoke alarm. How do you know if you have to flick a switch on the fusebox, please!? I have pressed the hush button for 20 seconds but it's not resolved the chirping. Would I electrocute myself by not pressing a switch on fusebox off, then twisting plastic cover off to see which battery I need to order, please!? Is it likely to be a 9volt? To stop it chirping temporarily, can I turn the plastic cover anticlockwise, safely without flicking a switch off on the fusebox!? (I think circuitboard is same as fusebox, isn't it)!?

This brand, particularly, if you go read the reviews on their website, they have comments that repeat exactly what some of the comments here say. Including the ones that mention that pushing the 'Hush' button and/or changing the battery doesn't work ,when it comesto "Stopping the chirping. It's 2:58 A.M. , and my alarms being chirping for a hour/, now. Pushing the 'Hush' button isn't working, and neither has changing the battery. I live in a rental, and the landlord lives downstairs , I don't have the courage to go knock on her door and wake her up. So then,...what do you recommend when this happens?
