smoke alarms

If a smoke alarm is going off every 10 minutes, is that a sign of a faulty unit rather than a battery?

Surely it's a chirp if the battery is low?

Chirp every minute if battery dead. Going off means it’s fucked. Or out of date. Or both. In non-COVID times the fire brigade would come round and put up a new one for you for free. Asda etc sell them though for about £20 or so.

It could be that your hoose is on fire. I'd check that before changing the battery.

On a more serious note, are you sure it’s the smoke alarm and not a carbon monoxide alarm? You also get some units that combine both. 

 

He's gone a bit quiet now, maybe someone should alert the emergency services.

Received a pro tip advising me to hoover the units - that SEEMS to have done the trick.

Sitting here staring at the unit waiting for the c**t to go off now! :lol:

If you have any golf clubs, smash it to f**k with one of them. You don’t want to be risking any broken bones falling off a ladder.
