Perhaps you guys can shed some light on this. I have a smoke detector in the house that randomly beeps maybe 5 times once a day or so. Do you know why that may be? There is no fire, and while I'm not positive if it has a Carbon Monoxide module, I have a separate Carbon Monoxide tester that reads zero on its digital display like 10 feet away from it.

It is wired into the ceiling, and has no obvious battery backup, so I don't think it's that either. If it's just poo poo the bed, is it difficult/dangerous for a layman to replace a smoke alarm thats wired into the house like that? If so, who do I call, an electrician? The fire department?

Any other ideas for what it might be? It's just random, like 3-5 beeps, 15 seconds apart each, then nothing. Never more than once or twice a day.

Well, we had the same problem with ours. Being cheap and not wanting to replace it we just left it. Eventually it was time to do some filter replacing and cleaning up the furnace. After doing all that it stopped the beepeing (and cleared up my allergies. Man you should have seen how old and dusty the filter was. :argh: previous owner!
