Smoke alarm chirping intermittently (tried everything)

Featured Replies

My smoke alarm chirps intermittently. I've changed the battery several times, reset the alarm several times, cleaned it several times as well. the one thing that stops it is increasing the thermostat temperature. It seems that when it gets below 73 degrees in the house (i'm assuming it only happens during the winter), the alarms starts chirping. I turn the thermostat up to 74 and in about 20 min it stops. this time i've turned it up to 75 and it stopped for a minute and now it does two short beeps every 25 or so seconds. the house was built in 2017.  Any suggestions?

Make and model of the smoke alarm.

If you are 100% sure you have the correct smoke alarm (It is not unusual to find another alarm nearby with a low battery) why not change it for another one that is same make/model (There are no user serviceable parts in any smoke alarm)

What country are you in?

How often does it chirp?

What happens if you take the smoke detector down, and take its battery out?

I had the same issue which stopped when I changed the battery for a few days. However, recently this had started again. Please let me know if you find a solution!

Sorry, but I doubt Kevin1996 will ever answer you, as he asked way back in January, if you look at the speech bubble under his name, he only ever made one post. 🤨

How old is the smoke alarm?
