Have you had a house built in the last 2 years? Half of our smoke alarms were chirping the day they were installed. Second half chirping day of final walkthrough. Batteries replaced again.
68 days later 3am 6 wildly chirping alarms. We replaced all batteries 2 more times. 2 months prior to 1 year warranty, smoke alarms were replaced.
New ones are 3 months old, 1 began it 4am wake up call.
I thought about using a baseball bat, but all ceilings are 10’ so that’s not going to work.
At least the heavily used faucet took 13 months for new batteries
