Smoke Alarms

Smoke Alarms - Replacement and Disposal

Smoke alarms don't last forever

Smoke alarms have a lifespan of about 10 years. After that, you should replace them.

Most smoke alarms have a use-by date printed on them. If your alarm is still beeping after you have changed its battery, it should be replaced with a photo-electric model.

Old smoke alarms can be safely thrown out with household rubbish.
