They will help with smoke detectors free of charge.
They will replace detectors and batteries that you provide. But, if the OP's description is accurate, this will not solve the problem. Detectors should last about 10 years and alkaline batteries should last about 4 years. If they are failing every 2 months, you need an electrician to diagnose the problem. By the way, replacing the batteries every year is a waste of time and money.
