I was told smoke detectors are supposed to last about 10 years, but be prepared to replace them after 6 years. Carbon dioxide detectors last less. You can buy a new one at Ace's (the only hardware store that supplies the brand used by TV). Just take the old one out and take it with you so you're sure you get the right brand and prongs.
