Security & Fire Protection Systems - chirping smoke alarms


Expert: Dave Neuweiler - 7/4/2009

Question
put new smoke alarms in entire house. chirping won't stop.  all brand new and new batteries. green light on after installation. new, new , new what is the problem? thanks

Answer
Hello Jacob, and thanks for writing.

The likely problem is not with the smoke detectors. It's probably a plug-in carbon monoxide detector.

To prove this, you can take the detectors you just installed down. Put 'em outside the house. The chirping will still be there; you just need to find it.

Best Regards,

Dave
