Default Smoke Detectors
I had a smoke detector today that wouldn't stop chirping even though I had just installed a new battery. A trip to my local ACE Hardware educated me that the detectors do indeed have a typical life of 5-6 years and the chirping one was eleven years old! Next time batteries are changed I guess I'll check the detector dates and change the out of date ones, too.
