Great to hear! Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠

Thanks for this. Your video reminded me that about 8 months ago I looked into replacing our 14 year old hard wired smoke alarms. Just ordered a new pair.

[@aaanton11]

Glad it helped, they are easy to overlook, the one I changed last had not been working for a 6 months, I forgot about that one until the other one went wrong, Thanks Clive for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠

Good post! What might have given me a full panic attack turned out to be a simple replacement. I'm a single female and am very thankful to folks like you who take the time to post these videos.

If you have one of the alarms that has the AC power option, the LED light should stay on, and will blink when it goes to backup battery power (this is how you know if those models are running on AC power or battery power). It won't chirp in this mode unless the battery is dead or near dead, but if you notice it is not solid lit and you have one of the AC powered ones, then there is something wrong with the AC power supply. I suppose the battery powered ones (as you've shown) blink to let you know it's on battery and the battery is good.

Mine have a low batteries voice warning too.If it have low batteries in it.These alarms sensors devices can lasting more than 10 years.If you wanted to testing,if it still works.Just putting behind your car carbon monoxide pipe.if the thing goes off it still works and useable.

[@mychannel0743]

It's safer to replace it. All smoke alarms made from 2008 onwards have a 8-10 year lifespan. This is because the components become less responsive and slowly die away

Mine detector does not flash the green light every second like u said. Mine only shows green light being STILL. is this normal? Have i not reset well?

Does the green light stay on when you install a new unit?

[@aaanton11]

it flashes once in a while, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠

[@robinhughes-jones4034]

You hear the alarm, and you get out to fresh air. By all means, take the alarm with you in case it's out of charge, dysfunctional or out of service. But first of all, get out, just in case it's working properly!

[@aaanton11]

Run!! Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠

Mine is not twisting to come off 😤

Does yours have the tab on the side to press then twist, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠

[@whyjustwhy2168]

@@aaanton11 idk but ended up partially ripping it off. Then tried to replace the battery and is still chirping. I have another new battery so will try that one. I gave it a rest lol

[@Wahinies]

What I am getting from this is that using combination carbon monoxide and smoke detectors is a bad idea because if one sensor goes bad the whole thing is kaput. Also the AC power models are pointless because they still chirp with low backup batteries. I hate the kidde detectors in the rental house we are in right now.

[@aaanton11]

You might be right . Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠

[@HR-wd6cw]

Yes but you want them to chirp because many of the AC powered ones have sealed batteries. This is a safety feature in case the power goes out. Of course you should just check them regularly. They will chirp when the battery is dying, but you can silence it for up to 24 hours (I think there is a sequence you can use) and I believe you can do this a few times, but it's by design (to be annoying) so you change it. IMO the AC powered ones are not any better than the battery powered ones, except you don't have to change batteries, but they don't work any better.

[@bkoz319]

green light should be solid not flashing when connected to AC

[@aaanton11]

This is battery operated, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠

[@blazerfan2328]

Mine is saying fire in the middle of the night when there’s no fire. It’s been doing this for 3 days in a row and it’s driving me crazy. Do you know why I’d be getting these false alarms?

[@aaanton11]

sounds like a faulty sensor, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠

[@greanfinisher4014]

I did find a 1996 First Alert carbon monoxide alarm on eBay yesterday which was in an open box for $21.20 USD including shipping. Actually, the alarm appeared to be new. Before installing the First Alert CO alarm, I'll test it out by placing an open glass of wine alongside it. If the alarm responds to the wine vapors, then it should be good to go. Actually, even smoking incense might be another good test. I mean, I'll be darn if Big Brother tells me what I should or should not buy. In other words, the bureaucrats should kindly allow the consumer decide what's good for him or her.

So, basically, you are lying and have no clue on how to reset the alarm, so you faked it. Typical.
