Do I need to replace the base of a wired smoke alarm

[Guest Darren]

Hi,

I'm about to replace our smoke alarms and I believe they are the Ei141. As they are over 10 years old do I need to replace the base as well as the detector?

I've looked at https://www.safelincs.co.uk/why-should-smoke-alarms-be-replaced-after-ten-years/ but it does not answer my question.

 

Thanks

Hi Darren,

As long as the base plate is in good condition and your wiring is sound you can just buy the replacement head.
