You don’t want faulty smoke alarms installed in your home. We see this quite often when we visit people’s homes.

FAQs
How do I know if my smoke detector needs replacing?
A few indicators that you should keep a lookout for to see if your smoke alarms need replacing are when it’s going off for no reason, the test button fails to operate the alarm, or the battery that you replaced didn’t even last a year or random chirping sounds.
Do I need an electrician to replace hardwired smoke detectors?
Yes you need to be a qualified electrician to replace 240-volt hard-wired smoke alarms unless you can get a replacement that will slide into the smoke alarm base, that is the hard-wired part of the alarm. If you have battery-operated only smoke alarms, then any competent person can replace these.
