One if our smoke detectors is chirping. Looking at the directions it appears the backup battery needs replacing. On the unit itself it says to turn off the power first. Does that mean from the breaker box in the garage? We can't find a power button on the unit so I must assume so. That's right. We got this old without ever replacing a battery in a smoke detector. Thanks!
Call 352-569-1011 - We have an amazing service in TV - the fire department will come to your home, free of charge, and change your batteries in all your smoke alarms, they will then test the system and make sure that everything is working correctly. You have to have brand new batteries for all smoke alarms and a ladder.

This service is free to residents - it's just another bonus for living in TV!
