Frequently Asked Questions
▶How often should smoke detectors be replaced?
Many smoke detectors should be replaced about every 10 years, although the manufacturer's instructions for each device should always be followed.
▶How often should carbon monoxide detectors be replaced?
Carbon monoxide detector service life varies by model and manufacturer. Many units last approximately five to ten years and provide an end-of-life warning when replacement is needed.
▶Where should smoke and carbon monoxide detectors be installed?
Detector placement depends on the home layout and local requirements. Common locations include bedrooms, areas outside sleeping spaces, each level of the home, and areas near fuel-burning equipment.
▶Why is my smoke detector chirping?
Chirping commonly indicates a low battery, end-of-life warning, power issue, dirty sensor, or device malfunction. Check the manufacturer's instructions and replace the unit when appropriate.

Hardwired detectors can offer interconnected protection and usually include battery backup. The right setup depends on the home, existing wiring, code requirements, and the type of detector system.
