According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), Kidde recommends replacing smoke and heat alarms every ten years. For carbon monoxide and combination alarms, the replacement period is every seven to ten years, depending on your model. This ensures you benefit from the latest technology upgrades.
If you're unsure of your alarm’s age, check the back of the alarm for the manufactured date. For more details on how to find this date, refer to the guide on "How to Find the Manufacture Date on an Alarm." It's always a good idea to replace your alarm if there's any doubt to avoid potential danger.
For more information about your specific alarm, refer to your user’s manual.

Kidde alarms get updated regularly. We offer instructions to locate a replacement model.
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.
