Dingbats - Stuck On Last 2, Can You Help...
Quizzes & Puzzles2 mins ago
A few weeks ago our smoke alarm chirped a couple of times in the night. Not a long constant noise just a few chirps. Next day I changed the battery.
Last night it chirped again a few times. Having checked the house and found no fire or smoke I removed the battery and went back to bed.
What could be the issue?

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.The battery that you fitted a couple of weeks ago, was it a new battery, or was it one you had in the house already.
If it was one you had in the house already, change it for a brand new one.
Assuming your smoke alarm isn't hard wired, remove it from its housing on the ceiling, and using the hose from your vacuum cleaner (if you can) give it a good cleaning.
If after all this, it still chirps, I would suggest that it might be best to replace it with a new one.
