    Smoke alarm
    Smoke alarm keeps chirping even after battery change and resetting. How do I disconnect? Can I do it on unit or do I need to go into attic?

    Look at the manufacture date... if its more than 7 years old its time to replace it... when they get old they start acting like that. They do have a finite lifespan.

    Is this one of several smoke detectors that are interconnected?
