I'm thinking of buying a heat alarm because the smoke alarm goes off too often (false alarm) and in the middle of the night.

Buy a rope instead

Lower the smoke alarm - instead of on ceiling, place it on a wall a bit below ceiling level

I have. It's on the top of a small cupboard. It was near the window and maybe smoke was getting in through cracks or somethin'? I can't risk it any more 'cos the neighbours will lynch me if it goes off again.

They should on principle.

smoke from what?

Good question. Dunno. A smouldering pit fire? I live in a wild and woolly place (Deep South). Maybe it was dust.

I have never experienced this wacky behavior of smoke detectors. It usually takes quite a lot of smoke to set them off. Move the thing and make sure it's not expired.

I was actually thinking the other day after some smoke in my kitchen that I wish the fire alarm had gone off, with as much smoke as there was. But it's not in the kitchen but a hallway next to the kitchen, and I tested it with fake smoke stuff and put a new battery in, so it is working. Just takes quite a bit to get it going. You should be able to find one like that.

Done that and got the photoelectric cell one...

So if you have the photoelectric one and you're getting false alarms, maybe you have a faulty/dysfunctional alarm. For the short term you could simply turn it off, unless you have frequent fires in your area...

Buy a new battery.

[ - ] paul_neri [op] 1 point 2.3 yearsFeb 2, 2023 05:30:27 ago (+1/-0)

Battery is fine. The damn thing is virtually brand new!
