Hard wired smoke alarm replacement

[bassguitar 10]

My tenant reports that the hard wired smoke alarm keeps beeping.

I've googled this and it says as it's 10 years ols it needs replacing and it's as easy as replacing a battery one.

Is this something my tenant might do or do I need an electrician.?

I'm not in the area so can't change this myself.

I wouldn't let my tenant touch it in case they don't do it right and cause you grief. An electrician will charge you £65 ish depending on the model of the alarm.

If you can still buy the same model most mains smoke alarms just slide off their base so then you slide the new one on to the old base so no new wiring etc needed

Yes. I did that. Just bought a new one exactly the same. How ever i found it really hard to find it because makes and models change so quickly

Thank you everyone.

Turns out that my tenant bought a new back up battery and all is well now!
