Hello The handyman Journey. I have a wired Kidde smoke detector and i'm having an issue. The voice from the detector keeps saying "error see troubleshooting guide" while showing a red or orange light turning off and on. My question is, how do i make it stop ?

Why didn’t KZbin recommend this 3 weeks ago when I had the problem at 3 am. Not only will it chiro when past the 10 year point and is going bad, but with WSI, the instructions don’t mention that the it also chirps every minute when battery needs to be replaced. Thanks for posting this

Hey Allen. Nice WLOG you got here, I've been watching your WLOG for some time now and i got a question for you, how do you manage the wear and tear of tools? You included in the hourly rate or you invoice it separately? Just started my handyman business one month ago (in Europe) and i already have to raise my rates. Just finished a job installing 150 ft of satellite cable along a concrete wall yesterday and i completely worn out an 1/4 SDS Plus drill bit.

[@handymanjourney]

Hey thanks for your question!! Congratulations on the new business! Yes, when a job requires a whole tool I definitely charge it on the invoice. So in this case I would charge on the invoice the price of a new SDS drill bit

So if I have a wired smoke detector today (it is wired and has a battery in it) can I just buy a battery powered one or do I need to get a wired one still ???? I always assumed it needs to be wired and have the battery cause that’s how I always knew it was to be since I bought my house

[@derrickoliver3835]

Thanks a million you’re dope!!

[@CANEDEV]

Ours is a wired smoke detector. I was surprised when it started beeping every 45 seconds and I found battery, as well It needed a battery replacement. It stopped beeping now. Your video is very helpful. Thank you

All 5 of mine went of this morning. They have both the battery and wire. I couldn't get them to go off do I disconnected all of them and took out battery. I checked date May 23, 2007.

If they are from 2007 it would probably be a great idea to have them all replaced

[@brionbee]

I am convinced that the majority of people that make KZbin videos about the smoke detectors and they’re crazy annoying chirping have no idea how to solve the problem when it’s a hardwired smoke detector. I’ve been looking for a very long time on KZbin and without fail the only solutions or four battery powered smoke detectors. So annoyed. I pressed the reset button and all of my smoke detectors in my entire house started going off! Then I had to press the reset button again to get to the different things this stupid unit detects. After a super dramatic two minutes freaking freaking out my neighbors? My stupid hardwired smoke detector is still chirping every 30 seconds. My electrician and I bought these together at Home Depot and he installed all of these three weeks ago. No place to change out a 9 volt. Somebody got any ideas?

[@handymanjourney]

Sorry you are having issues, if your smoke detector is chirping constantly and you have replace the batteries or if it does not have batteries then it is time to have it replaced. I have had many smoke detectors chirp right out of the package and be defective, so I would recommend that you take that one smoke detector back to the store and get a new one and get it put up and I bet that will solve your problem!

[@Maxwellp100]

My brand new kidde wired smoke ditector is chirping only in the morning.. disgusting.. its a brand new one installed in my brand new apartment.. when chirp the red led flash with it , any idea how to fix that..

[@Noah-jz4eq]

But like my smoke detector says something like EC: 2005 AC: 2008 which one is the year it was manufactured in?

[@handymanjourney]

Either way it's older than 10 years. It should be replaced

[@BrodyMcCain]

I didnt want to know about a new smoke detector I wanted to know how do I know if my smoke detector works. It started beeping every 45 sec. Is there a trick like putting a big lighter under it to see if it goes on?

[@handymanjourney]

You can hold the button on it until it starts going off. This is how you test it

[@BrodyMcCain]

@@handymanjourney ok thank you. I appreciate that. Thank you.

[@gline5573]

[@Chewy_GarageBandDad]

Mine has both. The plugs that I had to disengage to then change the battery as it was chirping. Plugged back in with brand new battery and still chirping. Any suggestions?

[@handymanjourney]

Replace the actual unit

[@ShadowRavenGaming222]

What about brand new units? Because family bought new ones and at 3 am 3 of them started beeping

[@handymanjourney]

Mt suspicion would be that maybe the tabs did not get removed to activate the battery or the batteries for some reason are not making good contact, they beep when the batteries die or are not working

[@cherrybleed920]

Mine keeps beeping and my mother is slowly getting more angry over little things, ig it's affecting her mental health negatively

[@baekie_]

I was in a hotelroom and it was beeping the WHOLE time. I didn't know what it was but we checked out the next day

[@bear_rrr]

The smoke detector that’s beeping is above the stairs where it’s very difficult to reach. So convenient

[@ingenide]

every one of my smoke detectors happen to go off randomly at night every few months. so I hear beeping from in my room, and then the rooms down the hallway I hear them from, but with a slight delay. I assume it’s only a battery issue, but it’s still super inconvenient that all of them go off like that. Worst part is that this happens at night, and sometimes the one I need to change is up above the stairs as well where I need to get a ladder to change it

According to the US Fire Administration website, we have lost 1,029 people in the United States due to fire in their homes so far this year. In each and every case there were smoke alarms in the home that were not working. Test your alarms monthly, replace the batteries annually, and replace the alarm when they are over 10 years old! Follow my Facebook page at "PCFD Fire Safety Education" for more information.

Quick correction, I'm sure you just misspoke. If your smoke detectors are wired and interconnected then they will all have 3 wires, you said the last one would only have 2, but it still has to send a signal to the others if it goes off. If they are wired but not interconnected then there will only be 2 wires each.
