We have lived in our 3-year-old house since June. Never had any problems with smoke detectors. They are hard wired/battery. Sunday, one of the 4 started beeping, after that they all chimed in. No smoke or anything. Changed batteries in all, thought I'd reset them all properly. The noise started again. Finally, had to turn off power to these detectors and remove the batteries. Just got 2 of our battery only ones, which are still in good operating order and have them up. Any ideas as to why this simple task is so much of a pain. We must be doing something wrong.
Yes they should or they will be in violation of health and safety rules.
Very sensitive alarm huh ? Usually the very first time you turn a heater on, it burns all the normal house dust that has accumulated over the summer months. But after the initial burn it shouldn't have an effect on the alarms. The hard wired ones like you have are extremely sensitive. If you have several in the house, you might want to deactivate the one near the heater. I presume this is the one that sets off the rest of them.
