NY Gal Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 smoke detectors to go off? Lost the power for about 30 seconds, and then about 40 minutes later, the smoke detectors started going on and off for about 5 minutes. They are hardwired. Looked everywhere, including the attic. Doesn't seem to be any problems. This happened once before, but I can't remember if there was a storm or not. Scaring the bejeezus out of my kids! Link to post Share on other sites

Make my hubby walk the entire house, basement included to make sure there is no smoke. Link to post Share on other sites

NewsJunky Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 Mine is hard wired too but has a battery backup. If the battery is weak it can cause it to go off. Hope that is all it is. Link to post Share on other sites
