Kidde recommends replacing smoke and heat alarms every 10 years, and replacing carbon monoxide and combination alarms every 7-10 (depending on your model) to benefit from the latest technology upgrades.
Learn more about when to replace a carbon monoxide alarm and how to recognize end-of-life warnings so you're prepared to replace your CO detector.
This is usually caused by the absence of AC power to the smoke alarm.
Combination alarms save space in your home, and they mean you only need to test and change batteries in one device rather than two.
Any time a digital unit displays a number with or without an alert, assume it senses carbon monoxide. Leave the home and call 911.
