The law only requires that a carbon monoxide detector be installed in any room with any fixed-combustion appliance (excluding gas cookers) in privately rented homes and social housing, it doesn't mention the flue run. You can read the government document if you Click here

Sarah, David asked the question in June 2020, he only made 2 posts (3 weeks apart) he has never been heard of again, so it is very doubtful that he will reply to you. Best not to reply to old posts (on any forum)

Kush, the post you replied to was made 8+ years ago, Darren posed his question/thanks and has never been back since, Harry has not posted since 2020, best NOT to reply to old posts (On any forum) In order to answer your question can you show where it says that Aico bases have an expiry date?

No, it is not normal for any smoke alarm to beep when the ambient air is cold. I would suggest you check the age of the back up battery (It should be less than 12 months) You could also swap the detector with one in a different room and see does the problem persist It goes without saying that the unit should be less than 10 years old.

The question was first asked 7+ years ago, those that asked, and those that have since asked no longer post so if anyone did find a key, we will never know. 🙁 Best not to reply to old posts.

For anyone reading this, it is never a good idea to reply to an old post (On any forum) because as shown here, the question was asked over a year ago and the OP (Peter G) has never been back so will never reply to you. It is always best to start a new thread and pose your own question.

If as you say "At 7am every morning it beeps a quieter beep" smoke alarms do not have a timer (So they have no ability to beep at the same specific time each day) I suspect it is something else, an old clock, an old mobile phone, something in the loft? But I should also say that If you have an Ei141RC you should change it as soon as you can as it is an old ionisation smoke alarm which is obsolete. I am also curious as to where you got the £125 figure you said, as the Ei141RC (when it was available) cost less than £40 each.

According to this website click me the lock is NOT fire rated. (I used google)

This forum does not go to component level of any device, so I can only suggest: 1) Move your aerial 2) Have the detector changed 3) Consult the detector manufacturer 4) Install an RF filter.

Probably not. It depends what make/model of smoke alarm you currently have (i240c?) and more to the point what do you want to replace it with and are there any more smoke alarms? You can not "mix and match" brands of smoke alarm if they are interlinked, but all good smoke alarms should be interlinked. Also unless it has a 10 year battery, I would never suggest changing a mains smoke alarm for a battery smoke alarm.

That's nice. What make/model is the detector you have, how old is it? when did you last change the batteries? have you cleaned it? what is the problem you are having, how often does it happen?

Just saying, "Andy" asked his question in 2023, he has never been back, so the best thing to do will be to change all of the smoke alarms to something like Aico, as they are easy to install, and are reliable, and when they do "upgrade" they are always backwards compatible.

There is no direct replacement for the deta 1151, so it is up to you which brand to have, personally I like Aico, as they are very easy to fit, and are reliable, you will have to change all of the detectors you have at the same time. Click me

There is a simple solution, but it is not done as if there is a power failure, people will want to get out, having a door locked in a power failure is not a good idea.
