Question

Why is my fire alarm going off if there's no fire?????

Answer 1

Check your battery. On some fire alarms the last gasp of battery life is used on making your life heck. Try that.

Answer 2

the batteries might be low or the fire alarm needs to be replaced,

Answer 3

If yours are hard wired like mine with battery back up, sometimes you have to clean them.  I vacuum mine, but electrical dust, grease and grunge collect in them and has to be cleaned out. Dish soap and water or any commercial spray cleaner works.  I think the little air holes get clogged and heat builds up inside to make the detector go off.

Answer 4

If it is just doing the occasional beep, it is probably your battery.  

If it is going off, check your oven/stove for anything burning; if you smoke, this could set it off.  Check to see if this is a combination smoke/carbon monoxide detector.  If it is both, you could have high levels of Carbon Monoxide in the air, and should have this checked out immediately.

But, hopefully, ya just need a new battery for the little noise maker!

Stay safe!
