Faulty smoke detectors
Recently we've been having trouble where our smoke alarms go off randomly. They are wired in electrically and also have batteries. I have tried testing and replacing batteries but it still seems to happen. We've had to resort to shutting off the breaker and pulling all the batteries out until we can get someone out to look at the wiring possibly since I know nothing about what could be causing it. Well we turned the breaker back in this weekend to test them and because the same breaker is linked to our doorbell and we wanted it for the trick or treaters. They didn't go off at all over the weekend so I didn't turn them back off, and of course they went off while we weren't home, and our neighbors ended up calling the fire company. They had to break in the side lock to verify there was no fire, and luckily the door itself isn't too damaged. So they're turned back off again right now but I really need to get someone out to figure out why they go off sometimes. I'm thinking a short somewhere, I just don't know how to determine where, or what caused it.
Thanks for letting me vent, I'm not frustrated at the neighbor or the fire department, had there actually been a fire I would have been very glad they came, I'm just frustrated that they are tripping without reason.
