What to do if your smoke alarm is going off intermittently? Change the battery.

If a smoke alarm at your property is chirping/beeping intermittently, this is usually a sign that the battery is running low.

  1. Remove the smoke alarm from the ceiling bracket – usually pry or unclip it.
  2. Disconnect the old battery and replace it with a new one – most alarms take one 9- volt battery, available at any supermarket. Never remove the battery without replacing it.
  3. Place the alarm back into its bracket.
  4. Check the alarm by pressing the ‘test’ button to make sure it’s working.

If your smoke alarm continues to beep, please call the office on 3856 1700.
