Speaking of smoke alarms... I replaced the battery in my smoke alarm because it was "chirping."...

Either it's broken, or the wire into the electrical source is loose, or did you put the battery in properly 😊

Take the battery out and hold the test button for 10 to 20 seconds, then refit the battery.

Open your smoke alarm you may have a wire that’s disconnected

I agree with MrPerditus' suggestion of damp or dirt on the sensor. Smoke alarms have even been known to be triggered by spiders or their webs.

They sometimes chirp when they are past their usable life...

[i]I’ve been known to chirp every once in a while as well! [/i]

If it has a hush feature it could be activated or depending on how old it is, could be a warning that it's time to replace it, the smoke alarm sensing chamber could be dirty or humidity could be a factor. Just to name a couple.

Smoke alarms only work for so long 7-10 years and then they need to be replaced.

When they start behaving like that... I just replace them.

It’s either broken or you have the wrong smoke alarm for your ethnicity.
