the builder of my home installed some piece of shite smoke detectors that all started to fail in succession right around the 4 year mark. I ended up having to replace all of them eventually for false indication and intermittent beeping.

It could be yours just ran itself out of its lifespan and needs to be replaced. google the namebrand/model and see if yours is also a piece of shite variety.

This. One of mine did this same thing in our house (new construction) after the 2 year mark. I just trashed it and got a new one at Home Depot.

That’s what I get for being OT poor and going with one of the national builders I guess. I anticipate changing all of them out within the next couple of years.

this

if they are also CO monitors, they only last about 5 years, so changing the battery won't help


i was lucky enough where mine were being recalled right around the 5 year mark and they sent me 6 new replacments which saved me about 250 bucks
